This section is useful for
people who are new to Computer generated renderings
Why do I need
computer-generated renderings?
Computer generated architectural renderings are helpful in creating impressive
presentations. Design analysis and various building studies are other aspects.
But my
hand drawn sketches are already good enough!
Hand drawn illustrations cant have real life materials and other features.
Computer renderings are precise and phto-realistic. Computer generated
renderings provides very tight control on how a particular material or color
behaves to other materials and environmental conditions. Imagine the freedom of
experimenting with various materials on your building! Moreover once a virtual
model (3D CAD model) is made, you can create images from any angle unlike hand
drawn renderings. Modifications are easy whereas in manual renderings you have
to do it entirely from the scratch.
Are there other
applications apart of just presentations?
There are whole new possibilities with computer generated renderings. Consider these:
-
Photo realistic renderings: general
presentation and marketing use
-
Material
and finishes analysis: experiment with materials
-
Shadow/Sun-path
study renderings: precise shadows
-
Physically
accurate lighting renderings: Lighting study
-
Animations:
virtual walkthrough and fly-by
-
Panoramas:
look around in your interior spaces, interactively
-
VRML: the 100% interactive buildings
Please visit our services
section for description of these applications and outputs.
Ok,
What is the whole process like?
The entire process is a very simple process. From 2D drawings, a 3D CAD
model (virtual model) is made in a modeling software such as 3DS VIZ or AutoCAD.
It is mostly a time taking process rather that just conversion of 2D to 3D. Once
a 3D CAD model is done, real life textures, materials, lighting are introduced.
For that additional amount of realism, other life putting features are added
such as foliages, vegetation, human figures, vehicles and clouds etc.
And the work flow for
acquiring your services?
It is very easy
process to get your visualizations done. These are the simple steps involved in
the entire process:
-
Send us your
drawings for a reasonable quote.
-
We send you a time and price quote and start the project on your approval.
-
We send you a preview rendering via email for your approval.
-
You send back the comments and 50% payments.
-
We incorporate comment and deliver high-resolution outputs in CD or FTP.
-
You make the balance payments.
What inputs I need to
provide?
You need to provide these:
1. Drawings: Floor
plans, Elevations and sections. Paper drawings can also do but CAD files are
preferred as it saves on time.
2. Materials and finishes: You need to specify the material and finishes are
used on the building. A legend marked on the drawing is most helpful. You can
send us scanned images of photos of stone/marble/tiles, or specify color values
for paints. Idea is to get the complete and
maximum information on finishes.
3. Site Photo: In case you want to see your building superimposed on
existing/actual site, you need to supply a high-resolution photo (preferably
digital) from a specific viewpoint/angle as of the desired image.
4. Output details: Please mention output format and desired print size for still
images.
What
output would I get? Will it be a file or a printout?
That depends on your requirement. You can opt for printouts for files. We
mostly send high-resolution TiFF files, which can be printed from almost any
imaging software such as Photoshop, CorelDraw, Paintshop Pro etc.
Are
there any samples around on this site?
Please check our visualization gallery
for sample
work.
Where do I start to get my
architectural renderings done?
Send us CAD files and or sketches for a reasonable quote on
your project. Click Here »
One more thing, why don't I
learn and do it myself?
Good thought, we want to encourage you to learn it. You will
need to learn a 2D CAD software, a 3D modeling software and finally a good
Rendering Software. It is good to learn new software and technologies for
knowledge sake. But for doing rendering yourself, We believe that an architect's
time is worth a lot more than doing renderings. Rendering is a mostly a
complex process which need you to dedicatedly put several hours to get it done.
Moreover the value of your money we provide is unparalleled. Our renderings
start at $150 which calculates to be very affordable. Further More, with our RenderNode
service product, you can lower down your rendering expanses to just
$3.36/hour !
