Architectural Visualization Services
Architectural Renderings | Animations | Interactive Presentations
Welcome, I’m Les Chylinski. I help architects and developers bring their designs to life through architectural renderings and cinematic animations.
I started my visualization business, Creative Media Illustration Inc. (CMIstudio), in Minneapolis in 2002.
With a background in architecture and over 30 years of 3D visualization experience, I combine technical precision with creative storytelling. I use a hybrid workflow that blends 3D, motion, and AI-assisted visualization to deliver fast, polished results that stay true to your design vision.
Whether it’s a short animated walkthrough, a dramatic exterior, or a series of renderings for presentations or marketing, my goal is simple: to make your project feel real, alive, and memorable.
I would love to talk to you about your upcoming projects. Please call me at (612) 940-5090 or email your request.
