Architectural Visualization Services

Architectural Renderings | Animations | Interactive Presentations

Les Chylinski

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.
