3D Animations - Why You Should Consider A 3D Rendering Of Your Home

 

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.
