With technology similar to that used by animators in the film industry to create impressive, futuristic cityscapes and detailed backdrops, architectural rendering firms are creating incredible renditions that leave little to the imagination. For example, the level of detail and interaction in a 3D MEP models allows firms and customers to get a lifelike, extremely accurate rendition of the interior of any structure, which allows them to visualize the project before it has even begun.
The Technology
A few decades ago architects and engineers could only have dreamt of a day when they would be able to take a detailed drawing and enlarge it, rotate it, layer it, delayer it and manipulate it in a thousand different ways to visually depict almost every aspect. In the past, for example, professionals had to work with several 2-dimensional drawings with limited detail of different aspects of a building in order to visualize the final product in their minds. This left much to the imagination and provided little advantage to architectural and engineering firms to distinguish themselves from their competition. Today, one 3-dimensional electronic drawing can agglomerate every aspect of a structure’s mechanical, electrical and plumbing designs into one rendition, permitting users to see how these designs will appear aesthetically and how they will interact.
With a few clicks, viewers can look at a structure’s overall design, flip and rotate it to see how in looks at different angles and then blow past external detail to focus on one pipe fixture, or one beam and pivot the entire structure around that one object to see how it looks from every angle. With this technology, experts have a better chance of increasing accuracy, uncovering errors and providing an expert product than ever before – not to mention its potential to impress clients.
Unlocking the Technology
Just like you can’t expect a spectator to jump behind a NASCAR XFINITY Series Camaro SS and win the Daytona 500, you can’t expect engineers or architects that are only familiar with rendering technology to be able to unlock all of its potential. After all, like all technology, you only get out of it what you put into it. Luckily, there are experts who have dedicated their professional careers to understanding and developing this technology so that others won’t have to.
Rendering Firms
The need for this expertise and the importance of dedicating time to developing it has given rise to the architectural rendering firms of today. One particular firm that leads out in this and other areas of technology and expertise is The Engineering Design. This company is capable of providing 2D and 3D designs that add a realistic element to any project and they customize every service to ensure that their client’s expectations are always met.
Don’t leave renderings to novice users. Let the experts drive.
