If you would like to
see how your house would look in a three-dimensional format, you are not alone.
State-of-the-art computer equipment has made 3-D animations a very popular
venue, especially on the big screen. People have become used to seeing the exceptional
graphics that are seen in blockbuster movies, providing a very realistic
representation of either real places or conceptualizations that movie directors
want to bring to life. In the real world, 3D has entered the mainstream,
specifically in regard to residential renderings of what floor plans, and
existing homes, will look like in a digital form. In this article, we will
present some information you need to know about 3D animations and why it might
be important to you to use this graphical format when considering building a
home, or even looking at your existing residence.
What Is 3D Animation
When looking at a
regular home, either by observing it on the computer or in a picture format, it
is hard to visualize exactly what the house would look like from a
three-dimensional perspective. A picture can only offer you a viewpoint from
one location, not allowing you to see the totality of the actual structure
itself from a variety of vantage points. Whenever you do a 3D rendering of a
structure, especially when using AutoCAD, it is possible to view the home or
structure from a variety of locations as if you were actually moving around the
structure itself. In many cases, the exterior, as well as interior, of the
structure is depicted in a digital form, allowing you to move through and
around what you are looking at as if you were physically there. 3D animations
give you this ability, making it easy for you to examine or represent a
structure to clients as well, eliminating the need for them to physically go to
its actual location.
How Does 3D Animation
Work?
This is actually a
very simple project if you are working with a company that already has the
computer equipment and software necessary to create such imagery. In most
cases, you will have to submit a CAD file, sketch, or blueprint of the
structure itself. From that information, people that do the three-dimensional
renderings are able to take the two-dimensional data and render a 3D
"picture" of the home or building. There are many other things that
can added to the 3-D rendering itself including furniture, doors, hallways,
rooms, and an assortment of other items which may be located within the
structure, or outside of it. In the end, the finished product will allow you to
observe all of this information in a superrealistic format that will give you a
three-dimensional perspective. In most cases, it's also good to provide
additional detailed information which may include the actual floorplans for the
structure, elevations, and accurate dimensions that may be input into the
software so that the computer can complete the project.
What Can Be
Represented With A 3D Rendering?
Going far beyond
simply representing a structure, 3-D animations can provide you with an
assortment of other features that can be input into the software as well. You
can also get a feel for the impact of shadows and sunlight on the property,
plus other environmental factors that should be considered prior to starting a
project. For instance, depending upon the climate, you may have to use
different materials if you were building a new structure, or choose the
appropriate landscaping. 3D animations make it possible to make these
considerations far in advance of completing a project, making this information
extremely valuable and potentially able to save you money in the long run.
3D Animations are not
just a fancy way of looking at a home or structure. They give you a high-tech
way of looking at any existing structure, or a structure that you would like to
build later on, so that you can complete your project in a timely manner in a
cost effective way. Whether you are a real estate developer for residential or
commercial properties, or you simply would like to look at how your existing
property could be dramatically improved, you should consider getting a 3D
animation from a certified expert in this industry, a decision which will
certainly help you now and in the future.
