Landscape and Exterior 3D Images

Building and landscape 3D Images are a combination of many complex 3D elements. Simulating landscaping is a particular challenge to our artist. Archiform 3D creates detailed models of plants down to the leaf. This takes more effort gives a superior result to the typical flat photographs of trees that other companies use. 3D Images are enhanced greatly, but 3D animations and video is where the additional effort is most visible. Photo-Perfect standards require this attention.

Real Views in 3D Scenes

This scene has the real view from the actual project, which is a superb way of displaying what a buyer will actually see from a new condo, office or home. We do this as either a flat 2D image in the background or as a complete 360-degree panorama encompassing the 3D Scene. Both techniques have their advantages.

A flat 2D image put into the background is the easiest to do, as it is one shot that can be taken in many different ways and often costs less due to reduced location costs. But when used in walk-through video a 2D backdrop doesn’t show any movement with the 3D Camera. If a Virtual Reality camera changes viewpoint it will become apparent that the backdrop is merely a flat billboard effect.

The 360-degree panoramic method costs more in location and photography, as each shot is a complete view in all the horizontal directions. This method gives the best result for 3D Animations as when the Virtual Camera turns the view adjusts accordingly. Archiform 3D is often engaged to take the panoramic shots as we have the equipment and cameras necessary.
