Top 5 Virtual Reality Applications for Architects
The tools for virtual and augmented reality developed for architecture, design, and construction (ADC) areas are constantly being improved and optimized, while their cost is gradually decreasing. Virtual and augmented reality becomes more accessible to architects, engineers, and contractors. With the help of these tools, one can implement any projects.
The VR and AR are gradually becoming the environment of communication, creation, and testing of projects in the fields of ADC. VR and AR tools based on developments and experience from other industries become the industry standard for ADC. One can perform a fast iteration with their help, to improve projects in close cooperation with customers and colleagues.
VR allows creating fully managed digital environments, while AR puts virtual elements on top of an existing real picture. Thus, the same technology is used for different purposes: Virtual Reality is more suitable for architects, whereas AR is more often used during the construction.
Although both innovations are rapidly gaining popularity, they are still at an early stage of development. Vrender had studied the solutions presented on the market in more detail and compiled a list of VR/AR tools that are optimal for those who work in the fields of design and construction.
ARki
ARki is an application for visualization of architectural models. It integrates AR technology into the existing architecture, allowing creating three-dimensional models with multiple levels of interactivity for both design and presentation.
ARki can be used on any iOS/Android device. The application simply imposes 3D models on existing two-dimensional floor plans. ARki also includes several additional interactive functions, for instance, the real-time analysis and material selection. Using this application, one can record user-selected models in the three-dimensional format, as well as share own content via e-mail or social networks.
Storyboard VR
Storyboard VR is a free prototyping and visualization tool developed for architects and other ADC professionals. Using this program, users can organize, scale, and animate simple two-dimensional models. Storyboard VR creators, the company named Artefact, have developed it for their own internal use to work on VR projects. They’ve created their own tool to quickly and easily create a prototype of VR.
The application allows creating and loading drawings and environmental maps from existing drawing tools into Storyboard VR, then choosing own assets and building own storyboard. The simplicity of use allows designers exchanging ideas and receiving feedback at the initial stage of the design process. Storyboard VR also has slides making it something like the VR-version of PowerPoint.
Pair
Pair (formerly known as Visidraft) uses licensed software and augmented reality technologies to create applications that allow architects “dragging” 3D models of consumer furniture and pieces of technology into their projects using an iPhone or iPad. The online catalog of models and assets now includes more than 200 products for home and office by Fortune 500 manufacturers. The catalog is supplemented with new products every day.
After the launch of the application, the company had drawn its attention to the fact that the main growth was in furniture and equipment manufacturers segment. The main difference between Pair and other AR solutions is that the focus is made on its products and consumers, which allows users to physically navigate inside a virtual 3D product like in their home or office.
SmartReality
SmartReality is a mobile application of augmented reality, which allows the camera to overlay an interactive BIM model on printed design layouts, thereby creating a three-dimensional visualization of projects. Users can scale, change structural layers, navigate through the project stages, and record their images and video. Also one can create a free account for downloading 2D plans and get the corresponding 3D plan and models using the application.
The SmartReality application is also available in the VR version developed by the R & D JBKnowledge Labs team. This version allows users to walk through the model of a
building using virtual reality solutions such as Oculus Rift, Samsung Gear, and Project Tango by Google.
Fuzor
Fuzor is an application for real-time rendering, which integrates with Revit. The program is based on the technology originally developed by Kalloc Studios for creating games. Thanks to bidirectional direct communication with Revit, users can navigate, visualize, comment, and verify BIM information, as well as synchronize changes between the two named tools.
The direct communication allows Fuzor to instantly update and reflect the changes made in the Revit file. It supports various measurements, lighting analysis, color and visibility filters, cross-section, slice cutting, and video rendering with BIM support.
In order to have a possibility of joint work with construction sites, BIM Solution supports the visualization of BIM drawings for mobile devices using Google Drive and Dropbox. At the moment, Fuzor supports files of Revit, Archicad, Rhinoceros 3D, Navisworks, SketchUp, FBX, and 3DS.

3D Architectural Photo Montage
How to combine 3D project with a photo or how to order 3D Photo Montage Services
3D Photo Montage is the imposition of rendered 3D model layouts of the projected object (like restaurant, cafe, playground, shopping mall or a hotel) on a photo of a existing specific place in a city, landscape or interior. The 3D model will clearly show and will help evaluate the looks of the planned building on the background of the existing terrain.
Our experts make quality photo binding to the terrain and fit the 3D model of the object into it. This is especially important for newly erected buildings and façade reconstructions in the historic area. Often, photo editing is an obligatory part of a package of documents (drafts) that are submitted for approval to various official bodies.
Photo Montage helps approve the outer appearance of the building with other owners, as well as with the management of the business center or a shopping mall if this is the case. Photo Montage is also necessary in order to verify the summer veranda in the city council.
Including a 3D model of industrial buildings, business center or a mall in a photo of the area
Including 3D models in a photo of some terrain is usually required for approval of the project. This is often a formal requirement of an agreeing body.
Making corrections and adjustments
There are situations when it becomes necessary to change something or make adjustments after the approval of technical assignment and the 3D model of the building is already developed.
For example:
• the restaurant is located on the territory of a business center or a mall, which management holds the right to establish its own requirements for the design of a summer cafe adjacent to their buildings
• when the street color solution concept has changed
• you changed your mind about installing umbrellas and want marquises
• you decided to change the color scheme of the summer cafe or the color passport of the façade of the building was changed
• seeing the final picture, you came up with the idea to change furniture or anything else to a different option
• you decided to increase the area of the summer café, change its location or the filling of the veranda
This is not a problem: all edits are made individually based on your wishes or the requirements of the management of the premises. We will promptly make all edits you need.

3d Modeling Service
3D modeling is a unique technique that will help you make a quick decision with your chosen project. This is because a three dimensional simulation is easier to understand than two dimensional simulations.
Architectural visualization is often used on company’s sites, in presentations, catalogues and other promotional materials. A good 3d modeling studio usually offers high quality visualization, panoramic 3d tours, printable graphic arts and three dimensional models development.
These services are becoming more popular in the building industry because they are so persuasive and gives a well-rounded image of a building, making it possible to study the interior and exterior of a project in details.
Some of these details are land-use plan of a surrounding countryside, standard floor layouts (which are different), roofing plan, section drawings (this item is compulsory for constructions with compound shape) and chromatic images of front building elevations.

3d Visualization
Visualization (rendering) is one of the most important key concepts in computer graphics. The main objective of visualization is getting an image from modeling. The final variant of the object have an influence on visualization technology’s usage. For example, 3D accelerators are used for computer games development. There is also pre-rendering option for video creation, but it is relatively slow process of visualization. The programs which provide visualization by means of computer programs are called renders. Such programs work with 3D objects’ lighting.
There are many famous leading companies using enough visualization software. The «Pixar» company has created an application programming interface for 3D animation which is called the «Renderman». The «Renderman» has a great advantage – a simple and convenient interface. The program is has been using since the 90s by many other big companies.
There is one more famous rendering system «V ray» (render) which is made by Bulgarian developers «Chaos Group». «V ray» has a quite big and creative and technological prospect. These are the factors that influence on speed and success and the quality of the result.
Finally, «Fryrender» is the most realistic render. Its developers are familiar with physics that is seen in this render. Fundamental laws of universe are kept here, indeed.
A computer cluster–render farm is used for making visual effects for a film. Parallel computing systems in render farm save time for videos’ creation. Theoretically saying, rendering includes a few techniques by means of which you can achieve the required result.
Rendering makes calculation and the presence of the core by means of algorithm here is quite logical. There is a rendering equation which theoretically proves the visualization’ models.
