3D Rendering
3D rendering is the process of creating a photorealistic 2D image from 3D models. We create 3D-rendered images and animations using a 3D model of structural elements, architectural features, and building ornamentation. The models can be created by our in-house modeling team or provided by clients. When clients provide the model, we review its characteristics and add details if needed, such as knobs or trim details on cabinets.
Coast 2 Coast starts by applying materials and textures to the Revit Model(s), and then set up lighting and cameras using software like Lumion and 3DS Max. Elements from the actual site are added to the virtual environment, and additional features like weather, people, and vehicle animations are incorporated to bring the imagery to life.
After creating the final scene using 3D modeling and animation techniques, we produce low-resolution samples for your review and feedback. We aim to make final adjustments easy for you by providing these samples. Including 3D renderings allows for control over the small details that set you apart.
Delivery Options
- ANIMATED RENDERINGS
Renderings bridge the gap between architectural vision and client understanding, facilitating effective communication, collaboration, decision-making, and marketing efforts within the construction industry. Video animation is perfect to present the look and feel of the space, the layout of the building, and the design features. - INTERIOR RENDERINGS
Show one room at a time or include a view that captures specific paths. Capture key vantage points and interior design elements in single rooms. Include hallways to amenities or doorways to public spaces to feature the entire layout. - EXTERIOR RENDERINGS
Choose to focus only on the building in perspective or include surrounding features like streetscapes, vegetation, and other significant landmarks. Add lighting conditions for morning, daylight, or dusk hours. - AERIAL RENDERINGS
Typically, these renderings incorporate elements from the adjacent areas and focus on the landscape and surrounding structures.
Seamless Project Delivery
Our 3D rendering designers work in tandem with other members of your support team, including project managers, modelers, and laser scan technicians, which means immediate interoperability and cooperation with your teams.
Coast 2 Coast 3D rendering services can make a tremendous difference when designing for renovation, retrofit, and restoration projects. Using a digital model with dimensions in proportion to the final product, the designer will add photorealistic textures and lighting to the model so that you can see exactly what it will look like in real life. These 3D renders offer both versatility and flexibility to visualize changes to existing structures and landscapes, or even re-imagine them entirely.
Realistic visualizations can be used to present projects to planning committees, investors, or other decision-makers to gain necessary approvals. 3D renderings help architects effectively communicate their design ideas to clients. Photorealistic visualizations allow clients to better understand and experience the proposed space or building.
Detailed 3D renderings help architects and construction teams plan and coordinate various aspects of the building process before breaking ground
Pre-design: High-quality 3D renderings serve as essential marketing assets, helping architectural firms stand out from competitors. Firms that invest in top-tier visual representations are more likely to attract potential clients and win bids.
Post-design: 3D renderings are particularly valuable for property developers and real estate professionals during the construction phase. They allow for effective marketing and sales efforts, which can be a significant advantage in securing projects.
