Why is 3D visualization used in the field of architecture?

3D visualization is a generic term used in the CAD industry for rendering and 3D modelling services. Visualization in general means the ability to visualize or imagine something even before it is created. It can be anything, a building or a product. 3D visualization is widely used in the field of architecture. 3D modelling and rendering services are included in the "3D Visualization" heading. This allows the end user to have an idea of the external appearance of a building, its interior or its site. A technique that gives a realistic appearance to the building or site is called "rendering". The representation usually comes in an image after the construction of the model. The use of 3D modelling and 3D rendering allows an architect or 3D artist to present all the elements of a particular building or site. The 3D representations can also show construction elements, but also landscapes, bodies of water, etc. There may be several views for the same building that can be viewed from different angles.

This technique brought a revolution in the architecture industry. CAD drawings, hand drawings and sketches can easily be converted to 3D rendered images. It can give a clear idea of the colors used inside the building, as well as the exterior, the interior decoration, the types of furniture, the color of the walls, the light, etc. Even before the construction of the building. The trees, plants and vegetation around the main building and the site can also be seen with absolute realism.

The following elements can be achieved by 3D visualization.

1. Exterior representation

2. Interior representation

3. Photomontage

4. landscaping

5. Product modelling

6. Furniture modelling

The external representation refers to the visualization of the exterior of any building or house. The exterior can be a commercial building, a house, condominiums, single-family houses, villas, tourist complexes, etc. Architecture firms or consultants use outside representation to create the visualization of a building that is about to be built. This can be used as an excellent tool to market your services or buildings.

Landscaping and site representation also add value to the entire package. In parallel to this photomontage, we can visualize a building or a villa built with the lower part of an existing site. Our 3D model and the rendered model can be combined with an existing site or a natural landscape to see what a building looks like for a particular site.

The interior representation allows you to visualize how the interior of a building, a house, a villa or a hotel complex will look like. Furniture arrangements, 3D plans, color of walls and floors, the texture of materials, lighting accessories, kitchen appliances, bathrooms, etc. It can be designed to give a clear idea to the end user. This can also be used as an excellent marketing technique to attract buyers of apartments or villas. An architect can provide you with exceptional 3D interior visualization or images, as well as many options to choose from.

This is extremely cost effective and saves a lot of time. You can see the entire building at a glance using the 3D rendering before the end of the building. This saves us time and helps us change the details that must be changed before construction. Some elements are very difficult to modify after the actual construction.
