Uses & Applications

There are many uses for 3D visualisations that you may wish to consider. The following headings may give you an idea of what you could use it for, but by no means should they limit your imagination regarding potential applications. Click on the thumbnails to view a larger image.

- Stylish imagery for web sites

At its most obvious level, the 3D work can simply provide images with a different look to your usual web graphics.

- Images for presentations or printed media

3D images look particularly good in powerpoint presentations but transfer equally well to printed media such as information packs and company portfolios. Nottingham Forest will be using a number of the City Ground images in season ticket and information packs to illustrate seat positions etc. Having recently developed contacts in the printing industry, we could even offer an all encompasing package, involving the design and printing of professional brochures, leaflets or info packs.

- Marketing and design of new products

Perhaps your marketing company are presenting a new style of packaging for a chocolate bar or selection box. A 3D image can look far more impressive than a flat design and when used in conjunction with your original image, it can provide a convincing package.

- Concept realisation for patents etc

If you have an idea for a design you wish to patent, we can produce a working 3D model at far lower costs than a real world model. We can even animate the moving parts in a video format appropriate to your needs.

- Illustration of product mechanisms

In a similar way to illustrating conceptual designs, current products can be animated and made easier to understand. Full working mechanisms can be shown, whilst sections of a product can be removed or made transparent for display purposes.

- Architectural rendering to bring 2D plans to life

Sometimes it is hard to visualise a new property, simply from the architectural plans. We can turn 2D blueprints into a realistic 3D property and bring your new home to life. It can be a useful thing to do at any stage of the design process, to analyse both the internal and external styling as well as judging whether you have made the best use of the space available inside the property. For that purpose, we can fill the house with YOUR furniture and you can even rearrange your future living room too see if your sofa fits in the corner or whether you're going to trip over a table on the way out.

Many alterations can be made to your property, without paying an architect to draw up new blueprints, which again, may be difficult to interpret. For one of our housing projects, we provided 3 different bay windows for a client, as well as altering the positions of the first floor windows. It enabled the client to decide which style they prefered, as well as illustrating to the planning authorities that the design was in keeping with the existing architecture.

If you are an architect or a property developer, we can also produce plans for brochures and presentations for either individual houses or a larger project. Further to the 3D perspective, we can produce front, side and plan views.

This process can also be applied to all other architectural work, such as moving offices or renovating bars, shops or other existing buildings. More details of these projects can be found in our portfolio.

Idea If we are creating a 3D object for you, we can also produce a professional but extremely cheap website to display it on. This would be much easier to distribute than a hard copy such as a CD, and would also be easier to access for multiple users.
