Visualization of Exteriors

Visualization of exteriors: the working process

Visualization using 3D technologies is a creative process. The result of this work is a unique image that conveys the mood of the author and leaves some impression on the viewers.
Architectural 3D visualization of exteriors is created almost every time before the beginning of the project. It largely facilitates the perception of the building, provides an opportunity to consider in details all the pros and cons, to evaluate all the architectural delights and surroundings terrain. Instead of tedious and boring drawings, accurate calculations, graphs and tables, the viewer sees an accurate 3D model of the object that is easily percepted.

However, in order to create this model, it is necessary to pass certain working stages. Let’s try to understand what the steps precede this ultimate goal – the creation of a 3D model of the exterior and let’s understand, whether it is easy or not.
So, first of all, each project requires an individual approach. In the preparation stage, analysis and planning are necessary. By breaking down a whole into simple components, it is much easier to perform the project to meet the set deadlines and a certain budget.

The main programs using which 3D images for architectural 3D visualization are created

Today 3d Studio Max software is especially popular, which offers users wide opportunities and plenty of options for high-quality and high-grade graphics. This professional software package is ideal for creating high-quality animation and three-dimensional modeling, in particular, 3D visualization of houses, buildings, facades etc. The program offers plenty of options, giving the maximum capacity.

Another program for architectural visualization and design is ArchiCAD. It is simple in usability and functionality. You can use it to implement a variety of technologies. A unique feature of this program is that it can prepare required documentation, while the architect is developing a 3D visualization of the exterior.

In addition to programs, actively used various modules and plug-ins for 3D visualization of premises, houses, buildings, facades and exteriors in general:
V-Ray is a rendering system and is used to create lightweight versions of objects.skyscraper rendering

By using such programs, a three-dimensional scene is created, after which you can proceed to architectural visualization itself. Time frames of exterior’s rendering process can range from a few hours per frame to several weeks, depending on the project, experience and software used. Another important point is the power of computer. More powerful it is – the quicker and better the process is.

So each project requires an individual approach. In the preparation step, it is necessary to analyze and plan. By breaking it down into simple components, it is much easier to carry out the project, to meet the set deadlines and to fit into a certain budget.

Main stages:

1. Development of technical specification. At this stage occurs the preparation of all necessary drawings, charts and other documents, which are full of numbers and calculations. The main task is to make accurate calculations of architecture that can be implemented in the project.

2. The calculation of cost of the future project is prepared. Here are made rough estimates for construction materials and labor. This step is necessary in order to understand if to apply 3D imaging of exterior or not.

3. Creation of a basic model of the future facility. Selection of a program to work, all the calculations are converted to graphics, initial sketches are made.
4. Creation of exterior of the desired object. The future object is fully created that you can see in 3D.

5. Addition of the finishing touches. Engagement in the development of interactive features, enhancement of image quality, addition of convenience features and options.

Thus, we can say that the process of creation of 3D-models of exterior’s visualization is quite complicated and requires specific efforts, experience and professionalism.
The final stage of visualization and buildings’ 3D exterior design can become its completion in Photoshop using various additional plug-ins, to give it a more realistic and lively outlook.

Architectural Rendering for Architects

Sustained quality, observance of time, systemic approach.

Working on a project architects confront a question: «In what way they can profitably present it to a customer?».

Drawings, sketches or planning documentation are everything that usually helps architects to work comfortably and easily aren’t good enough for customers, because they are very far from cobwebs of architect’s work.

The most profitable and intelligible way to present the project is 3D rendering that helps architects:

 

  • to free time for creative work;
  • to bolster your profit margins;
  • to guarantee competitive position.

Call us  or write on [email protected], in order to book the rendering of your project and to know all details about all work advantages with our architectural visualization studio and about different variants of effective architectural objects presentation.

Robert Brice (a founder of the “AECIS Interiors” studio) tells about experience of cooperation with our studio:

Benefits of using qualitative architectural rendering

An opportunity to demonstrate a photorealistic image of a project and make a simpler way of coordination. Sometimes it is very difficult to explain to a customer the concept of the project.

It is very difficult to do it orally, but many transitional stages, such as the first sketches or conceptual drawings with a pencil can be sufficient for you may not be intelligent to a customer, so all coordination work and explanations will drag out a business.

The project of reconstruction: current situation and the first sketches (You think a customer will understand the idea? Fat chance).

An ideal decision for a customer will be to see a three-dimensional image of his own object.

Renovation project rendering, so the customer understand an architectural concept and the project will be concurred and proved:

Furthermore, a customer has business partners, colleagues, friends and a family whom he wishes to consult with in order to determine conclusively. But for them it is too difficult to puzzle out project documentation and to understand architectural and planning concepts. Even more reason is that a client and not you will present the project. Here again rendering will be a finished, nice and intelligible picture, so it is a good way to form a favorable opinion about the project among people whom a client accustomed to advice. Very often, he put a rendering of his future house or shop on the table or demonstrates it on IPhone.

And in the case of objects presentation at public hearings or before different planning commissions rendering is practically the only way of demonstration.

A possibility to convince a client of the need to order a project

 

 

Is your customer thinking, hesitating of the need of a project or his manager of the work can build everything himself?

The main fact is to «give a kick» to a customer and motivate him to order the complete outfit of the project documentation, spending minimum amount of time and money. Rendering is the best way to solve such a problem, because it is enough to use only several sketches and reference images for creation of a nice marketing picture.

A reference image and alternate layout (for an experienced architect it is a simple, quick and a solvable problem):

 

stairs drawing

Consequently, you can demonstrate the image of a client’s future stairs even before the stage of initial design, finally convince him at your professional manner, and show the necessity of further cooperation.

Rendering – the project is well designed and finished

A possibility to get an additional income

Rendering for an architect is cheaper than for an end customer.

During rendering takes place, with a cooperation of both architect and visualizer, corrections are proposed, angles are approved, and technical assignment is coordinated. Rather than anywhere else at this cooperation an additional value of a rendering is born. Another way of putting it is that rendering that has been ordered at our studio is selling to the end customer at a higher price.

All the more reason is that by means of a qualitative rendering worth of the project is rising at customer’s eyes.

A possibility to save some time for a creative work and greenfield-projects

Once in a way an architect have to follow all customers’ tough requirements. So, practically all architects have kitschy projects – they are simple and banal architecturally, but nevertheless very attractive for a client.

Such a routine for perfect architects is very burdensome, but all the same moneymaker especially if the question is about facade stylization of already-existing objects.

3d-architecture-rendering

Specified planning documentation, drawings or detailed sketches aren’t needed to be used.

Rendering helps to solve such a problem: you describe the concept of the project and prepare schematic sketches (of course, a client doesn’t need them, but they are enough for beginning of the rendering work). In a similar fashion, it is possible to visualize only facades apart from foreground images that in some cases allow stepping away from drawings and save your time and money.
Additional confidence that in the course of projection and material selection were not refused admittance.

Rendering reproduces a play of light and shadow that cannot be represented in any other way. Many materials change their color and reflective power depending on optic angle and lightning, so that this property is taking into account during materials selection.

Also rendering allows watch different variants of color layout and to choose the best one.

Rendering is a sort of control examination of the whole project. To integrate all possible amendments is cheaper at the design stage than in the process of construction.

A project that has been already designed and visualized can be incased in portfolio and demonstrated to new customers without waiting the end of construction.
Object construction is delayed very often or even doesn’t begin sometimes. Nevertheless, the project is finished and examined in detailed, so that a wish appeared to show it to new customers, colleagues or put up for tender.

And since our rendering has been taken for a photograph, you can easily replace the photo of a completed object. It will speed up architect’s portfolio replenishment and spend the minimum of time between project finish and its beginning, so it brings the glory to an architect and his studio.

Competitive position before other architects, because they don’t have a good rendering.

Unfortunately, for us (visualizers) and fortunately for you (architects), not many architects consider a qualitative 3D visualization as a necessity.

Some architects:

• prefer to refuse from rendering at all forgetting about its demonstrativeness for a customer;
• economize greatly on rendering without paying attention at its quality and doing everything only just to check the box, because «everybody do the same».

Such approach is appropriated only for some architectural circles. But if to take into consideration business engineering, architecture or design, projects sales will be topside. Project success depends on their visual appeal that is exactly reproduced by rendering.

Graphic tablets with our works, executed for Architectural and design workshops “Allegro” and “White square”:

An opportunity to give new release of life to old competitive or unrealized projects.

Surely, every architect has several old, unrealized, but all the same compelling projects. Such projects you wish to use in portfolio or demonstrate to new potential clients but it can’t be done because of their obsolete form of presentation (a wash drawing, axonometric drawings or a simple model of “ArchiCAD”).

Rendering gives new release of life to projects like that and they will work for you a great while, attracting more clients.

 

Architectural Design

Architectural design is a modern art and styling.

Architects use it in creating artistic rendering and architectural-artistic appearance of space during the process of multi-building development or in the single building, and even in the transformation of parts of the city or the landscape. Architectural design is trying to understand your imagination and bring it to life, using project design, specification and visualization. To comprehend the complex of relationships between architect work and the exact city you need to focus your attention on preservation and environmental compatibility in order to conceptualize interior space or building. Of course, everyone wants to express own individuality in interior design or in corporative design so it is possible to call it a construction design, because everything you should do, goes in complex with integrated construction.

Architectural Services,Architectural Design

Architectural design is an idea and its realization in different pieces of architecture art, which has been created according to innovative technology, because the construction world and design constantly change. Innovative materials are important too. They affect the technical design of buildings, because today we have the need for conserving and upgrading buildings of different styles and epochs. So, all contemporary construction techniques, different materials of construction, urban and architectural transformations in relation to environmental and economic sustainability help us in architectural design.

Today architectural design looks for ways of integrating both architecture and engineering with modern technologies and cut-edge engineering. It souses the architectural design to be a luxury, because not everyone can afford it. The main thing to take into account is up-to-date and uniqueness, but in using of modern canons to interior decoration you must remember that requirements imposed on contemporary design grow increasingly. Today such requirements are unique style and, likewise, shapeliness and moderateness. All creative ideas from direct interaction with clients can be modified in future building construction, and become an accelerant for adopting the design to future needs, like restaurants, shops, offices, etc. So, Architectural Design must give the owner esthetic pleasure and be unique.

3d Architectural visualization

3D Architectural visualization makes it possible to view both the outward and inward appearances of the future constructions.

This type of imaging called architectural visualization, it represents a separate line in the work of architects, and 3D designers, allowing them work together successfully.

It is important to note the fact that architectural visualization now is a very precise in demonstrations of the future projects look, its compositions, setting the light sources and any other details.

3d redering styles

There are several types of imaging

This is hand drawing and computer graphics, respectively. Special software allows you to make high-quality presentation of the project.
Therefore, hand drawing is a method of imaging, which often means a computer process, but everything almost entirely based on the works created by hand. This takes into account geometric principles.

Computer graphics are more specialized. Graphics are usually vector or raster obtained after calculating rendered objects in specialized application.
In addition to this, these are highly interactive visualizations, which mean the possibility of modeling the reaction on human actions. It may be elevators, escalators or doors opens in response to the movement of a person. Also, they have a real simulation of interactivity impossible in the real world. There is a practical value in the opportunity to assess the need for the presence of architectural additions.

One of the most comprehensive architectural rendering industries is interior design.
This function allows changing the interior plan, including the color of walls, wallpapers, kitchen or living room. 3D Architectural visualization of the interior will help even to move the furniture in the apartment.

Architectural visualization is a step forward in town planning. Modern society demands different requirements to the cities’ appearance. Particular value acquires original design decisions and the aesthetic component of the architectural object.

It is not enough just to build a common house, because people want to create a great and interesting object, perfectly suitable to a particular place. Such a result will help you to achieve the architectural visualization that allows creating a graphical display of the object.

 

3d  Architectural visualization

Large building must have preliminary layouts. You can see the appreciable advantages of architectural visualization (in comparison with traditional models) with the rendering methods of creating photorealistic objects. It is essential when you turn on the architectural form of a holistic architectural ensemble.

Visualization allows you to see the object from all sides, so that it becomes possible to make changes in the project before starting to implement it. You can change both the overall concept, and a few lines that will show a perfection of each form and will allow you to integrate it into the existing environment.

Architectural Visualization is perfectly suitable for the presentation of the project to investors or the competition of architectural committees.
