Nikola from ODP Architects brought us a new project in May 2021. It was a residential project in Florida. She would needed the 3D renderings to get the project approved and show the owner the vision was worthy investing in. This project had been through back-and-forth and design changes. Two images are finalized until January 2022, and we are working on more images now.
Hillcrest Surfside and Surfside Seaway are two residential buildings which share the same owner. Surfside Seaway was approved and under construction while the project Hillcrest Surfside started. This time, AIMIR was going to create 3D works for this stunning residential structure from the very beginning. At the same time, the images needed to share the same materiality of the images of Surfside Seaway. This way, both projects could show to the world with consistency.
Hillcrest Surfside
Facing the Surfside Beach, Hillcrest Surfside is a 10-story residential structure with a basement for parking and a rooftop. The project size is 58,980 square feet. There is an infinity edge swimming pool on ground floor, along with some stairs that go down to the rear yard. For the façade, Hillcrest mainly uses glass walls with vertical louvers. These Carlisle windows with bronze non-reflective texture add a shimmering skin under the sun.
The site.
The elevations.
As the structure shares the same owner with Surfside Seaway, which is another residential building next to it, we’ve studies the 3D rendering previously done for it.
3D renders for Surfside Seaway for reference.
Our aim was to create 3D renderings which went along with the lighting, materials, and mood with those of Surfside Seaway.
The Model
We’ve received a Revit model including the project and the structure next to it. Because Nikola hoped to have both buildings in the images.

Different views of the model.
However, Nikola expressed their concern about the design, and said the model might need to change. As a result, we had to suspend this project.
In December, Nikola brought us the updated model. The rooftop was redesigned with a more welcoming space, the ground floor has a ramp for entry, and other nice features.
The updated model.
Surrounding Context
For the surrounding context, we decided to build the models of ambient structures.
Compared with other methods, modeling is the most complicated way of dealing with surroundings. This is because it costs obviously more time than other methods, and incurs modeling fees at the same time. However, modeling gives nearly 100% accuracy of the original site. Moreover, the tone and mood of the image is easier to be aligned.
For this special project, we didn’t have much room to create. To follow the previously-done 3D images, we studies these images and decided to come to the result straightforward.
Before that, we had went through other supporting information, for example the landscape plan. Nikola addressed the significant role of the landscaping. In order to keep consistency, the two projects should share the same landscaping.
Landscape plan.
After studying the provided images, our 3D artists learnt the way to follow the mood of the landscaping, which included:
The trees;
The beach;
The white beach beds and umbrellas;
Above is the rendering of Surfside Seaway, and below is a corner of our final rendering of Hillcrest Surfside. We strictly followed the rules and created a world in Surfside with consistency.
Please enjoy the final images of Hillcrest Surfside!
Ongoing Story
This is not the end of story. In January 2022, ODP Architects would like to have a few more 3D renders to demonstrate various sides of the structure. Therefore, we started working on other camera angles immediately.
This time, we needed to keep the same mood while showcase the building in various perspectives. The 3D images were finished in March, and we will share them as soon as they are ready to see the world.

As more architects, designers, and real estate professionals become aware of the power of 3D architectural visualization, demand of these services raises. Join AIMIR to find answers to Frequently Asked Questions about 3D rendering, 3D animation, and virtual reality.
What is 3D Architectural Visualization?
In case some of you may not be familiar with, let’s start with the definition. Actually, architectural visualization is no new concept. However, in the past decades, 3D technology has developed fast so that 3D came true.
At this moment, 3D architectural visualization has various forms such as 3D rendering, 3D animation, virtual reality, and argument reality. It is widely used by architects, designers, real estate developers, and manufacturers. With the help of 3D architectural visualization, you can have true-to-life 3D works of your vision, inside and out.
Why do You Need 3D Architectural Visualization Services?
3D architectural visualization, seemingly trivial, actually plays an important role in architectural design. Besides the most commonly-aware purpose: for marketing as most people know, there are other benefits.
Previewing the project before it starts: You can have a thorough look of the design in photorealistic 3D works. In this way, it is way easier to change the design details when needed.
Invoking creativity: Honestly, it is not a rare thing to get inspiration during the production of creating the 3D works. The flexibility and easy-to-change nature make it a piece of cake to reform your design in 3D works.
Presentation and reporting: When you need someone to say yes on your vision, the 3D architectural visualization must be the first choice to go with. It help to create the yet unbuilt structure in a real scene. Thus, its viewers can check the building as if they are standing in front of it.
Marketing optimizer: This is the best tool to market your idea. It brings out the best side of your unbuilt building.
Facilitating project management: A realistic 3D work of the project is the best coordination for management. Any possible issues can get fixed during the construction phase before they happen.
What do You Need for Entering 3D Architectural Visualization Services?
Briefing is the best and easiest way. At AIMIR, we’ve prepared various brief forms at:
In this form, we collect your basic information as well as project information, such as project type, how many images, how long animation / virtual reality, 3D model, CAD plan, or sketches. One thing to bear in mind, the more materials and information you provide, the quicker we get started.
How long does 3D Architectural Visualization Take?
First, the answer depends on the project materials provided. Then, other factors such as the quantity / length of images / animations / VR to be created should be taken into consideration as well.
For instance, you have an office building that you want to have 3D images for. A complete 3D model is ready to use, and you’d like three renderings: an aerial view to show the structure and surroundings; a front view; and an interior view of the lobby. In addition, other supporting references such as the landscape plan or material board can accelerate the production process.
Anyway, for general reference:
3D Rendering: typically 3-5 days per 1-2 images.
3D Animation: typically 1-2 weeks per minute.
Virtual Reality: typically at least 4 weeks per project.
What is the Working Process?
AIMIR has a complete workflow for CGI works. The workflow has been fully tested during the last 17 years. For 3D rendering, 3D animation and virtual reality, we have streamlined and efficient workflows.
To start the work we need the project files such as 3D model, CAD plans, or hand sketches. On top of these, some supporting information can help a lot, such as the site photo, Google coordinates, landscape plan, floor plans, color and material boards, and so on.
When the production starts, generally we follow: 3D modeling – applying material and textures – lighting – rendering and post-work – final delivery. For 3D animation, there will be a storyboard / camera path confirmation before the standard working process.
For a more detailed working process please kindly check here.
Am I Able to See the Works Before Final Delivery?
The answer is absolutely yes! Actually, it is the inevitable part of the whole production. Because we do care about the way presenting your vision.
In general, the majority of projects are able to deliver you drafts to preview in the Modeling stage and Rendering stage. Besides, you will receive drafts throughout the entire process for any mark-ups and comments.
On the other hand, it is vital for you to provide your mark-ups or comments on the draft timely. This is because we can only proceed to next stage after receiving your mark-ups.
Are the Project Materials and Information Safe with You? What If the Project is Confidential?
Please rest assured that we will keep your data confidential if you hope so.
Our promise doesn’t come from nowhere. It is guaranteed by our strict Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA). At AIMIR, we fully realize the nature of design industry. Thus, your date security is our top concern. We will not disclose any information unless you agree to do so.
Hope above can answer part of your questions. If you have more questions, please refer to our FAQ page here. Or you can simply talk to us about your concerns or projects on our home page or at info@aimircg.com.

Architects are always concerned about how to make an informative and visually impressive presentation to win bids, while engaging with potential clients who are known as cautious investors. So, what can be eye-catching and convey all the critical information at the meantime? 3D animation would be a great choice for architects!
With the help of 3D animation, clients are able to receive a rich vein of information and details of the building design in a very short time. This doesn’t require an expert to interpret. Here are five ways in which 3D animation conduces to an informative and visually impressive presentation.
3D Animation Presents Features From Both Internal and External Viewpoints
A good presentation ought to showcase exterior and interior features of a building tunefully. 3D animation for architects can bear this important task nicely. For instance, in a video of a house tour, audience is allowed to first view the landscape around the house from an external perspective, and then enter the rooms one by one to check design details. As the camera moves in, it is accessible to see the garden with outdoor amenities like a pool or terrace through the windows.
3D Animation Demonstrates Transitions Between Spaces
Perspectives and seamless transitions between spaces of 3D animation make it possible to present one harmonious whole. Although it is integrated by isolated 3D scenes. Therefore, just like house visitors in reality, audiences are personally on the scene. Led through the corridors, visitors can stop in each room at any time to check details and switch to another one if they like. Sometimes, audiences may feel like they are watching a movie. Because some common methods in film production are also used in modeling scene switching, such as defocus transition. Everything is so smooth. By this means, architects are capable of showing each scene, and conveying the overall concept of the house at the same time.
3D Animation Displays Functions of Design Factors and HouseholdAppliances
A house is never simply a beautiful work of art. More importantly, it has a variety of functions to make people live comfortably. However, any pictures or interpretation are too pale and feeble to explain the functions to clients. In the circumstances, 3D house tour can help a lot. It shows how household appliances and furniture work in daily life. For example, an open hearth with a log fire roaring in it. Not limited to this, it also makes audiences put themselves in the role of the owner of the house. They feel as if they are just living right here, and then become attached to it. The deeper the emotions generated by the audience, the more likely the architect will win the bid.
3D Animation Provides a View of Multiple-building Projects Thoroughly
Composed of multiple independent buildings, multi-building projects are more difficult to achieve general harmony. These independent buildings should not only show their individual characteristics in such a whole. On top of this, they need to coordinate with each other and contribute to the formation of a harmonious architectural complex. How do architects manage to present it? 3D fly-through animation comes into play.
By various visual angles and perspectives, 3D animation exhibits the relationship between individual buildings in a project, including the relative position, the distance and so on. In addition to aerial views and panoramic views, the camera also does a good job of simulating human vision. What’s more, smooth connection and transition work well to present vivid views, instead of rigid pictures. It’s all for presentation of a state of coordination and harmony.
3D Animation Shows the Visual Changes at Any Time Under Different Occasions
It’s not enough just to showcase what the house looks like at a particular time. As we all know, visual effects of a building will be quite different in the wake of changes of seasons, weather, and daylight exposure and so on. A video capable of presenting so many variations would contain a great deal of information which customers are satisfied with.
3D animation demonstrates what the house looks like during the day or night, summer or winter, sunny or rainy days, as required. This facilitates an immersive experience for clients. They may feel like they are living in this future house while previewing how the house will change in their daily life, thus feeling the multiple charms of the house.
