Architectural visualization, or more specifically 3D architectural illustration refers to the process of converting an architect design plan into a 3D structure, before any construction activity begins on the real ground. Architecture illustrations are produced by feeding CAD drawings and textures into the computer software and the resultant is a virtually rendered 3D image or a 3D movie.
An architectural illustration integrates all dimensions and building textures to virtually produce a 3D design visualization of how the building would appear after construction. 3D architectural visualization is a computer generated image (CGI), which is rendered through 3D design softwares like 3Ds Max, Maya, Light Wave, Soft Image, etc. Armed with advance lighting techniques, 3D Architectural illustration provides opportunity to preview the project long before the real construction begins on ground.
Advantages of Architectural Visualization:
The impact and utility of illustration design is undeniable. Architectural visualization facilitates while bidding for contracts, while working on the projects, or while informing the clients about progress of the construction. The various benefits of architectural visualization are illustrated as under:
Obtaining Planning Permission from Regulatory Authority3D architectural visualization is gradually getting the favor from regulatory authorities while approving a building plan. Planning officers now urge architects to submit 3D architectural illustrations while applying plans for their nod.
As 3D construction illustrations are easier to review, due to their life-like properties, they save a huge amount of time and human labor during approval. Advanced softwares now produce interactive 3D visualizations for easier review of all building facets.
Design Development Support for Architects
Architects too are increasingly depending on 3D building illustrations for better assistance during the design development stage. They can easily make modifications to it and seamlessly integrate changes to the entire construction illustration. Interior designers too benefit heavily from 3D architectural visualizations. They can preview how building materials, colors, and fabric will look like while finalizing the choice of resources. Thus, architectural illustrations allow greater freedom for experimentation.
Visualization of 3D architect has made property marketing much appealing because photo-real rendition allows clients to have a look of their buildings, before making a purchase decision. It also helps clients, builders and developers in obtaining planning permission from Regulatory Authority.
Visualization of 3D architect has made property marketing much appealing because photo-real rendition allows clients to have a look of their buildings, before making a purchase decision. Real estate developers give out building illustrations to show their prospective clients how their building will resemble on completion. 3D illustration also helps in generating attractive marketing brochures, sales pamphlets, posters, display stands, and other presentation materials.
The BluEnt Way:
BluEnt employs the best in computer generated graphics to create architectural visualizations for your building projects. Having penetrated into all segments of the architectural domain, it is but sure that 3D architectural visualization is here to stay. 3D architectural illustration is not only indispensable for design development but also business development. Architecture will get further refined with increasing use of technology and BluEnt stands at the forefront of leveraging these developments for the AEC industry.
