Architectural visualisation is the art of creating either a two dimensional or a three dimensional image or animation to show the attributes of a proposed architectural design. The process of creating an architectural visualisation as well as animation imbibe several factors. If you intend to know the process of how architectural visualisation is created, this article is apt for you. The Process of architectural visualisation: Initiating a project from a two dimensional to three dimensional: Once you get the project, arrange for the necessary information such as sketches, architectural drawings, any reference pictures or any other materials that are important for the project. You can also produce CAD drawing or hand drafted materials during the pre project stage. First and foremost ,create the 3D model of the proposed building in the form of an industry standard CAD package such as vector work or AutoCAD. This will enable you to create your architectural three dimensional modelas per the dimensional specification of your design. Enhancing the 3D architectural model with lighting, textures and fixtures: This is the stage of transferring the 3D architectural model into 3D modelling package.Here you can add textures to the 3D models as specified in the 2D drawings. Adding texture to a 3D model can bring them to life. Post adding textures, you can put fixtures, lighting, scenery. Depending on the opportunity of the project ,the first static 3D architectural visuals can be made ready. Post the creation of 3D architectural visuals: Here you need to produce the 3D visuals in Adobe Photoshop. It will allow you to adjust the exposure and the colour settings as well as the contrast. Adding other elements such as lighting, human figures, trees can help to enhance the textures and the objects. Final delivery: Using the photo manipulation software you can superimpose your model over the existing model. Here you can modify anything from the model and add the special touches to the image to make it look magnificent. The need for architectural visualisation: An important aspect of the architectural visualisation is 3D animation. Animated architectural visuals provide you the opportunity to view your model from different angles. This enables you to detect the flaws which could otherwise have been overlooked before you start any project. You ultimately save unnecessary costs and time required for the project. Before planning to start a project, it is important for you to communicate with your client regarding what exactly they wish to see. Often a lack of communication between you and your client leads to the project being presented in a different way from what the client initially desired for. All these problems can be easily eliminated with the adoption of 3D rendering tools. With the 3D visualisation of the entire property, the clients get a better understanding of the architectural features used in the building. They can also judge the comprehensive effect they have on the aesthetics of the design. Last but not the least, when it comes to the marketing aspect, the 3d visuals can bring in prospective clients and can involve them to invest in the project.
