Coincidentally, I stumbled onto your site yesterday while searching for an old project rendering. The site looks good and it's a great first effort. I also like the mapping and the search function.

Automating the rendering extraction and publishing process is a great idea, but it looks like it needs a bit more work. Many of the projects I looked at showed clunky early renderings or massing diagrams instead of renderings, or unimportant renderings, or even imagery that weren't renderings at all (site servicing plans and details, for example). I think that if you can refine the image recognition process so it is more focused on just overall building renderings, and is scoped to just certain documents (Planning Rationale, Design Brief, Elevations, Architectural Plans, UDRP Submission, etc.) you might get more relevant results.

Keep up the good work... this has great potential!
