About Me – Ciro Sannino

ABOUT ME | CIRO SANNINO CV ABOUT ME
 CIRO SANNINO

I am a 3D architectural visualization trainer, author, and international conference speaker, specializing in photorealistic rendering workflows with V-Ray and Chaos Corona and AI generation. I create professional training programs used by artists and studios worldwide.

Since 2022 I have been exploring how generative AI is changing the rendering process. I started with early tests using Dall-E for archviz post-production, and today I work with AI tools for material generation and photorealistic upscaling. I am a Google Certified Gemini Educator and a Pulze Partner, and I use tools like Veras, Project Dream, and Magnific in my workflow. For me, AI does not replace the craft of rendering. It builds on the same principles of light, composition, and material that good photorealism has always needed.
