Q. What is architectural animation ?
Architectural animation is a virtual moving computerized movie of the project before its real execution. A computer-generated project, that can be a township, bunglow, villa, hospital, stadium, or any building can be created along with landscaping/ pheripheral details and sometimes moving humans and automobile.
Unlike an architectural rendering, which is a mono image from a mono point of view, an architectural animation is a series of hundreds or even thousands of still images. When these images are gather together and played back they produce a movie effect. It must be noted that this movie although gives a real movie feel, is an artificially created movie by various softwares on computer. In Architectural animation, textures, colors, realistic materials based on clients specifications are applied to the 3D models. Once the materials are added, realistic lighting conditions are simulated and a photorealistic image of the project is rendered. This can all be done before the project is actually built, giving designers and stakeholders a realistic view of the completed project. 3D architectural animation is highly user-friendly for the viewers since it provides an accurate realistic visual of the construction. Its gives a clear idea about the building from all angles along with a visual on core construction activities. Concepts of computer graphics and 3D animation help in creating highly realistic 3D architectural animation of any construction, and it gives a completely authentic idea of the finished product or building to the client.
Architectural animation is an effective and powerful tool for real estate developers, builders, architects, government contractors, land developers and urban planners to showcase their design concepts to their clients during presentations.
3D architectural animation is created using blueprints, floor plans, photographs, layout, design concepts, and technical specifications. The end result of Architectural animation is available to you on iPhone, iPad, Android, Blackberry, Windows, Mac, PC or touchscreen.
Q. What is Architectural Visualization?
“3D Architectural visualization is visualizing the architectural structure and makes its 3 dimensional virtual presentation on computer before it is being constructed-renovated in real world. It is the process of creating imagery that accurately reflects the planned environment even before the start of construction. Computerized 3D architectural simulations help communicate your design ideas. Majorly used by builder, architect, engineers, individual client.
Architectural visualization services includes following services:
- 3D rendering
- 3D walkthrough
- 3D demo of city planning
- 3D demo of landscape place
- Restoration of ancient architecture
Architectural visualization is the service majorly for architects, builders, property developer, interior designer, landscape designer to see their projects all points before it is being constructed.
The technical aspects of service started with this main purpose. In due course this multi facilitated service with its constant innovation & up gradation in technology took architectural industry by storm. And today it became main source for architectural industry for its technical quest, sanctions, presentation purpose for their investors, clients, bankers, collogues & major source of branding activity of any mega structures on earth. If we emphasis on this that today, the whole mankind is majorly depended on this service for all today’s & upcoming construction. Which is main & basic requirement of the human race Home! And majorly used for the presentation purpose.
Q. What is 3D Rendering ?
3D Rendering – 3D Rendering is creative computer process of producing an image based on three-dimensional data with 3Dphotorealistic effects or non-photorealistic rendering.
3D rendering is a process that is similar to photography or cinematography, because you are lighting and staging scenes and producing images. Unlike regular photography, in 3D Rendering the scenes being photographed are non-existent, and everything that appeares needs to be created (or re-created) much earlier before it can be rendered. This is a tedious work, but allows for an almost infinite amount of creative control over what appears in the scene, and how it is depicted.
The three-dimensional data that is depicted could be a complete scene including geometric models of different three dimensional objects, buildings, landscapes, and animated characters – artists need to create this scene by Modeling and Animating before the Rendering can be done. The 3D rendering process depicts this three-dimensional scene as a picture, taken from a specified location and perspective. The rendering could add the simulation of realistic lighting, shadows, atmosphere, color, texture, and optical effects such as the refraction and reflection of light or motion-blur seen on moving objects.
Rendering sometimes takes a long time, even on very fast computers. This is because the software is essentially “photographing” each and every pixel of the image, and the calculation of the color of just one pixel can involve a great deal of calculation, tracing rays of light as they would bounce around the 3D scene. To render all the frames of an entire animated movie (such as Tangled, Monsters Inc., or Ice Age) can involve hundreds of computers working continuously for months or years.
Latest 3D rendering technologies and advanced computer graphics helps developers, architects and real estate developers to save money by cutting cost and shortening development stages.
Q. What is Photoshop rendering?
Photoshop Rendering is creative computer process of producing an image based on three-dimensional data with 3D photorealistic effects or non-photorealistic rendering.
Process of photoshop rendering is similar to that of the 3D rendering. However detailing is somewhat less in photoshop rendering than to 3D rendering.
Photoshop Rendering views guarantees visually enhanced, realistic and accurate display of your exteriors and interiors. Photorealistic renderings, combine creativity and talent to result in outstanding presentations and views.
Photoshop rendering takes less time to complete as compare to 3D rendering. But the picture quality of 3D rendering is far better than photoshop rendering. Thus 3D rendering has an advantage over Photoshop rendering, however the cost of latter is some what cheaper as compare to the former.
Civil engineers, real estate developers, interior designers, landscape designers, architects and anybody who is connected with 3D architectural rendering design and construction business can use photoshop rendering services to visualize the final product, and easily explain their ideas to their clients. Also the services is very useful for marketing purpose, you can advertise your design or property.
Photoshop rendering is an option when the budget of the client is low, and when the time period is less. However if these two limitations are omitted, 3D rendering is far better solution than photoshop rendering when quality and detailing is required.
