About 3d Design

3d design is an incredibly useful tool for visualisation purposes. Whether it's for accident or historical reconstructions or for visualising events and conferences prior to set building, 3d graphics are cost effective and precise.

Once the 3d model has been constructed other simulation factors come into play. Real world textures are applied to give the objects realistic surfaces. Glass surfaces must reflect light but must also be transparent. Metal surfaces such as set structures must have the right degree of gloss whereas carpeted surfaces must appear matte.

Lighting is applied in much the same way as it is in real life. The direction and strength of the light is crucial, as are realistic shadows, both of which will reflect the indoor conditions, and if there is natural light, the time of day.

Finally, cameras are set in position just like film cameras. Unlike film cameras, however, there is no limit to how many you can use, where you want to place them or how you want them to move.
