3D architectural visualization is a powerful tool in the design industry. It may hard to ignore its outstanding capacity and function. The 3D rendering service enables architects and designers to sell their designs and get greenlight easily, which significantly improves the chances of achieving business goals. Recently, we’ve finished several renderings of a school project with ARCHITECHNICA. We love the outcome of the renderings so we would like to share these beautiful renderings with you.
This is the first time we work with ARCHITECHNICA, which is a is a specialized firm of talented and diverse Architects providing services for local Educational, Municipal, and Commercial clients. We are glad that we can cooperate with this professional team and to be a part of this amazing project. The result of our collaboration is not only the photorealistic 3D rendering but also building our mutual trust and understanding.
2-Story Classroom Building
The design of this 2-Story Elementary School Classroom Building is part of ARCHITECHNICA’s portable replacement portfolio. The design for this particular site involves replacing all existing on-site portables, equivalent to 24 teaching stations, with a new permanent classroom building of totaling 33,000 square feet. This 2-story classroom building is to create a new kind of educational environment.
The aerial view shows the overall design of the school building and its surrounding context. It is located in a friendly community with convenient traffic lines. This red-brick and white cement buildings is a rectangular construction, which is a perfect color combination reflecting lovely and joyful feelings. There are gardens, basketball fields, playground equipment, and the football field inside the school where children can have all kinds of outdoor activities. The openness of the space offers a free and inclusive atmosphere.
In the human eye rendering, the front garden full of greenery created a friendly, visually clear map for pupils to safely navigate the space and have fun. The design highlight and material can be clearly viewed in the close-up camera position. This school is designed to be flexible enough to accommodate students’ outdoor activities and playful space for young children.
3D architectural visualization is a new advancement that makes design easier than before. It helps to optimize the design process by allowing architects to envision the design concept in greater detail and spot the construction mistakes before it breaks the ground. In addition, your design can be enhanced by the photorealistic effect and thus attract more business opportunities. If you like this two-story school renderings and want to know further details about our 3D rendering service, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Believe to architects and designers, project pitching is a real headache. To make investors enthusiastic about the idea and gain their support it’s a tough nut to crack. It is understandable to give careful consideration to the problem of investing their hard-earned money in an unknown project. Therefore, what we should strive for is to set us apart from the competition and win the approval from investors.
Communication is not entirely verbal. It is of importance to make the pitching visually exciting. Whiteboards, presentations, and the 3D physical model are common tools in project pitching. But these are not enough to attract the audience. In this post, I’ll bring you another must-have tool, architectural visualization. Whether you are an architect or designer, it will get your job done and greenlights your project.
Preview the house in the real surroundings
How the exterior of the building will look like is one of the primary worries to investors. More exactly, they care about whether it will fit in the surroundings. Sketches and the 3D physical model may not enough to satisfy them. 3D architectural rendering is a powerful tool that can successfully make it happen. It allows you to put our designs into the realistic environment which has all kinds of structures such as trees, lawns, and so on. Through a virtual walk, the customers can experience the final result in the future to the fullest.
Make the interior design more natural
You may find it hard to show the interior design before because of the limited choices of the showing methods. But now, using architectural visualization can help create a lifelike virtual tour in the building. All the texture, furniture, and decoration can be placed in the right position to enlighten the design. Investors can walk through the house, experiencing all the details in their own eyes. 3D rendering is an incredibly powerful way to show your wonderful interior design from a more natural perspective.
Show the beauty of the details
The details play an important role in the design, which makes a building unique and compelling. They enrich the viewing experience and communicate the ingenuity in the architectural designs. Sketches and models are limited in showcasing the details. When you put details in the 3D mode, it may be overstuffed or messy. If you use sketches, it will take you a lot of time to finish it.
These embarrassments would not happen to 3D architectural visualization. It is both efficient and effective. No matter what elements you want, like lighting, textures, or colors, you can add it to your project easily and quickly. These details let your project do the talking for itself.
Offer an awesome panoramic view
It’s quite often to face the question that clients asked for the preview of the building in the environment. But it is almost impossible to achieve this by using the old school methods. Sometimes it may lead to the failure of selling the project because we fail to show the surrounding context or the detail of the building.
Now, with 3D software in hands, it’s easy to produce realistic panoramic views of the building from whichever angles you want. It is so amazing that it enables the investors to have a look at how their dream house sits adjacent to different landscapes and constructions. Besides, they can view it from different heights.
Prove your efforts in meeting the demands
In many cases, potential developers might attend your project presentation. They want to check whether your design is suitable for their demands or market before it put into practice. In this situation, using 3D rendering service is your best choice. You can offer photorealistic 3D rendering as soon as possible to prove your efforts for this project. Besides, if they want special demands for the project, you can quickly adjust and create second solutions by using this powerful tool.
Make adjustments in time
When you are pitching your project, it rarely receives no changes or questions from your clients. It is simple to answer questions, but making changes requires much more effort. But if you use 3D architectural visualization, this problem can be readily solved. Through the proper software, you can clearly present where the investors want to adjust. Besides, In addition, it is quick to make adjustments and produce new renders by using 3D software, which saves time for both investors and you.
Create a wonderful portfolio
Your works are the best proof of your ability. In addition to winning instant approval, 3D architectural visualization can also bring you more opportunities. Building a portfolio of your projects in the market campaign is be of crucial. You can put them on your website or other social media networks to advertise your company as a trustworthy company and reliable partner. This can help establish a good image and attract more potential clients.
3D architectural visualization has so many advantages in pitching the project today. Using the right tool for the job can produce satisfactory results. If you are looking for architectural visualization, welcome you to contact AIMIR.
Before the maturity of rendering software, architects struggled to use hand-drawing to explain their design. In order to impress investors, they drew 3D models with an age-old approach, a perspective with vanishing points. It takes a lot of time to draw and color, even for a skilled architect. And it could never achieve the same lavish, professional, and realistic result as 3D architectural visualization done on a computer.
Maybe some fields encourage minimalism. But in architecture, only the projects with details which amaze investors could win approval. That is why we need to use rendering software for construction projects, which could offer full details for investors to preview the future building.
From hand-drawing to software
Previously, architects completed the project by hand from start to finish. They gave mature consideration to all aspects of a project, including the first sketches, developing the design on different aspects like object functionality and the construction, as well as the visualization before building. It’s hard to imagine what efforts they make when we see their 2D floor plans which contain various labels and hatches or their solution includes interior and exterior design and urban planning.
Architects could have a rest until the first software for 2D floor plans developed enough. It saves time and is more accurate than before. Later, the appearance of software for 3D modeling makes 3D architectural visualization easier.
However, 3D models do become really lifelike and breathtaking because of its outcome. Programs like 3Ds Max, Mental Ray or V-Ray, allows any operation concerning 3D modeling and rendering. What’s more, they are compatible with many software in the market which can import or export .dwg and .3ds formats and so on. Architectural visualization becomes simpler and more efficient. These programs have their strong points, which can be seen in the earlier blog – 10 Best Architectural Rendering Software for Architects in 2019. And today, let’s explore how rendering software benefits every aspect of the construction project.
Materialization
Architects begin 3D rendering after the process of materialization. At the stage of material adjustment, it is easy to operate owing to the programs that enable us to choose or import different textures with ease.
Once we determine textures, we can adjust various parameters such as a bump, ambient color, diffuse color, specular color, self-illumination, glossiness, opacity, reflection, transparency, and more. Every adjustment enriches the final effect of the rendering.
Lighting
Lighting is important in all types of architectural visualization services. It can highlight the details and increase the realistic effect. Applying lighting in nightscape renders is admirable, while natural or artificial lights also add spice to daytime renders.
Operating steps on various software are a little different. Some like Lumion have already set up natural lighting which can be adjusted based on the needs. However, others like V-ray requires people to create it manually, especially when we deal with interior design. There are many lighting options available in the software and you can choose the best one to highlight the effect.
Environment
It’s very convenient when the rendering software offer built-in environment settings. They bring architects’ inspirations to life and help investors to see the unstarted project in the real environment. Landscapes like rivers, seas, cities, mountains and sky as well as greenery are all available in the material library of Lumion.
But if we use software like V-ray, we need to do this step on PhotoShop or other similar programs. But the simplest way is to use a photo of a preferred location. Lots of architects usually take a photo and import the render into the photo, which it’s another way to put render into the real-life environment.
When architects adopted hand-drawing, color difference used to be their nightmare. But now, with the flexibility of rendering software, we can change materials and textures within a few mouse clicks to meet the investors’ needs. And we can also artificially increase some imperfections in the works.
It’s time to make good use of the benefits of rendering software. If you’re looking for 3D architectural rendering, we are exactly your right choice. We AIMIR are a professional company that produces lifelike visualization services. Welcome to contact us for any questions.
