Architectural renderings, visualizations and animations use 3d models to represent residential and commercial interiors and exteriors for marketing and design analysis purposes.

Architectural visualizations enable clients and target audiences to see the finished building and/or interiors before the approval and construction of a residential or commercial building.

Architectural renderings, visualizations and animations play major role in the design and the sale of real estate. Design changes and related decisions are facilitated by using architecture 3d models, which are used to create architectural renderings and visualizations that can be shown to the clients before the building or property.

3D Modeling of architectural renderings requires specific expertise not only in rendering but in architectural design as well.  The architectural 3D models used to create the renders must be modeled with the right proportion, scale, and level of detail. Also real life textures, materials, color and finishes must be used to achieve the photo realistic look of high quality 3D architecture renderings.

Architectural renderings are specific to their particular use and there are many types including: still renderings, 3d photo-realistic renderings, virtual tours, panoramic renderings, walk-through animations, fly-by animations, 3D floor plans, light and shadow study renderings, renovation renderings, etc. Each type of architectural rendering will first start as a group of 3d models arranged together to create the architectural scene.

Architectural renderings are still renders of  these scenes and the landscape and they include the building or structure and surrounding environment such as the trees, grass, people, cars, etc.

Architectural renderings can be created from sketches or from CAD files. 3D models can also be inserted into an actual photograph of the lot or environment to create an architectural rendering with a photo environment.

Virtual tours are very popular in residential as well as commercial real estate sales. Virtual tours allow navigation throughout the entire 3D architectural scene. When going through a virtual tour  that was created using 3d models, one can go from room to room and explore every aspect before beginning construction.

3D floor plans are done in three dimension to provide a very accurate layout of the interiors of a home or building, as one can see the rooms for each level and the rooms are typically furnished.

Panoramic renderings are high end architectural visualizations and they are done to provide a wider view of the architectural scene.  They can be done on the interior as well as the exterior of the building. They are also done so that the client gets a 360 degree view of the architecture of a building.

Architectural animations are short architectural movies. To create the animation a series of still 3D rendered images are put together to form the movie.

3D Models are used in each of the 3d scenes  in the movie. An architectural animations can have fly-over camera views and walk-through views of the building.

Architectural animations are often created with the landscaping and surrounding environment to give the them are more realistic feel.

There are many types of stock architecture 3d models that are used in architectural renderings including scenes, interiors, exteriors, buildings, plants, furniture, etc.

Winning the Bids for 3D Projects

with one comment

When clients seek your 3d modeling, animation, and/or rendering services, it is very important to submit a winning bid/proposal that is customized for them. Below find some tips that can help you submit winning proposals to your clients, which in turn will help you get repeat business.

CUSTOMIZE YOUR PROPOSAL – Your final bid or proposal should be customized for each client individually. Generic bids that don’t take into account your client and what they are trying to achieve will often not win you the 3d job.

Submitting the right price and delivery time is essential. However, personalization and attention to your client needs will make you stand out and win the job for you.

For example, to personalize a proposal for 3d modeling of human anatomy, you can highlight your credentials and experience modeling and/or customizing 3d models of human organs in the software or file formats the client requires. Also, you can state what attracts you to this job. The most important thing is to let your clients know that you are interested in helping them achieve their objective and show that you are interested in putting their needs first.

FIND THE RIGHT FEE FOR YOUR SERVICES – Provide a balanced price that will be low enough to attract your client, but high enough to satisfy your needs. Start off by putting a price on your time that is realistic and that is within the range that your client is willing to pay.

Remember, not every client will be looking for the lowest bid. However, don’t bid your projects too high as you can run the risk of pricing yourself out of the market.

Often, when bidding for 3d projects, you have to provide customers discounts that will compel them to use your services. One way to be able to provide your clients discounts is to use ready-made or stock 3d model collections, which cut down your time and production costs.

 

Before you go ahead and start calculating how much to charge, first you need to have a realistic idea of how long the job will take you.

GIVE A REALISTIC DELIVERY TIME – It is very important to know how long it will take you to complete the 3d project, without putting yourself under unnecessary pressure. Monitor your working schedule and save time by using ready-made or customized 3d models from a high quality 3d model marketplace like Flat Pyramid, whenever possible.

To be able to estimate time sucessfully, start by tracking the average time it takes you to complete a 3d model, including any additional rendering or changes. This will better help you estimate how long bigger jobs will take.

 

ASK FOR FEEDBACK – Asking for feedback regarding your proposal is essential when you don’t get the job. This is the only way you will truly improve and be prepared when the next request for proposal comes around.

Top five Tips for Custom 3D Modeling Services

leave a comment »

As you begin your Custom 3D Model procurement process, save time and money, in both the short- and long-term, with these tips.

Obtain early involvement from individuals across your organization – Include representation from all the affected parts of your organization – marketing, finance, management, and individuals outside your organization, such as your clients. They will bring a different perspective during the process and once the 3D job is delivered they will accept it and implement it faster.

Identify the reasons for seeking custom 3D modeling services – When evaluating and selecting a vendor to fulfill your custom 3D modeling request, compromises will need to be made. Sharing your primary reasons with vendors will allow them to provide you with proposals that address your needs and ultimately a finished 3D model that meets your objectives. Communicate these primary reasons to your vendors using documents such as a request for proposal, RFP or request for information, RFI.

Be clear about your evaluation criteria – Determine the criteria & method for evaluating proposals and the finished 3D models. This will provide you some framework for the format of your RFP/RFI. Also, don’t change your mind about the criteria unless it is absolutely necessary because this can compromise the whole custom 3D model project.

Set a calendar of activities to evaluate the 3D model and adhere to it – Agree to a regular meeting schedule. Work with vendors in advance to set a schedule to review the draft of the rendered images of the 3D model. This will gain commitment from your staff being available and for making decisions in a timely manner when the sample rendered images are provided by the vendor.

Involve key evaluators in all aspects of the selection – Partial participation of key evaluators during demonstrations and reviewing of proposals can delay and invalidate the final custom 3D model.

Remember, you can always purchase ready-made 3D models and other related 3D products from Flat Pyramid’s 3D Library at a fraction of the cost of custom 3D modeling services. However, if you are looking for custom 3D model work send us your 3D model request and we will discuss with you how we can meet your needs. At Flat Pyramid, we have highly qualified artists and an effective project management process that can deliver high quality custom work for your next project.
