Architectural rendering is a process of making any 3D architectural model photo-realistic by applying suitable color, texture and other virtual objects. The 3D model is represented in such a way that it enables clients and other viewers to get a real life feel of the planned building. In Architectural, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry, the usage of 3D architectural rendering and BIM modeling process has increased sharply in recent years.
Nowadays, a significant change has come in building architectural design. Different types of large and intricate buildings are being constructed everyday across the world for commercial purpose. These days, the tools related to architectural rendering process have become significantly powerful because these tools are used for creating high-end 3D rendered models of complex-shaped buildings. 3D rendered models not only helps AEC professionals and designers to understand the entire project plans but also helps stakeholders to conduct a bid for the models.
What is the role of BIM in AEC industry evolution?
The inception of computer aided design technology first brought the practice of the digital drawing, designing and modeling process in the AEC industry. Still, many architects prefer to create conceptual designs using paper. Nowadays, maximum AEC firms have switched to applying CAD technology for preparing designs and drawings. Though CAD helps is producing designs and drawings in an efficient manner, but in some arena, it can’t produce expected output. To cover the drawbacks of CAD, a new technology, known as building information modeling, has entered into the AEC industry.
BIM assists AEC professionals to create designs and develop models for any kind of building in an efficient manner. BIM facilitates all uses to share their information effectively and it also enhances coordination among the architect’s team and contractor’s team. This facility of BIM helps to diagnose any types design related issue accurately. In construction industry everything is related with each other i.e. the more high quality building design led to get more effective and precise rendered image.
Why Architectural BIM Models are used for 3D Rendering?
Advanced BIM software’s, for example Revit, consists of several advanced and useful features that helps is developing high quality and accurate building model efficiently. As BIM is capable to generate any kind of precise 3D architectural models, so when 3D architectural rendering technique is applied on the 3D model, obviously it will produce high quality end result. The end result will help architects, designers, clients, contractors and other viewers to get a complete and accurate 3D architectural visualization of the building project. Photo-realism is added in an architectural BIM model by adding color, texture, floor, ceiling, fixture, furniture, etc.
With the changing architectural and construction trends, the architectural and building information modeling process is also getting more advanced day by day. So, one thing is clear that the construction industry has a great and glorious future in the coming decades.
