3D Renderings and 3D Animations
3D Photo-Realistic Rendering
An image is worth a thousand words… Bastian will bring your 2D CAD drawings, blue prints and sketches to life with accurate, descriptive photo realistic renderings and illustrations
Walk through and Flyby Animation
The walk through adds the 4th dimension to the 3D renderings and provides the ultimate marketing tool, allowing you to exhibit and sell your ideas as it will look upon completion. Some of the advantages of virtual walk thru are:
- Actual materials can be shown
- Interior lighting can be previewed
- Landscaping on the entire premises can be shown
- Natural lighting, based upon window direction, time of year, time of day, and even global latitude can be previewed
- Lifts, escalators, and moving objects can be incorporated and shown in operational condition
- View can be previewed
- Multiple design options can be explored and resolved before building begins
Project Engagement
Initial Meeting
Our modeling, rendering and animation staff are not only accomplished artists and designers.
They are good listeners. This is important to ensure we completely understand what kind of services
you need and all the pertinent details BEFORE we start work on your project.
Request for Quote
Our online request form guides you through describing the desired deliverables:
For renderings per 3d model/scene
- Number of different illustrations (views) of the model
- Size of illustration
- Resolution of illustration
- Form of delivery
For fly through animations per 3d model/scene
- Number of different animations (views) of the model
- Size of animation
- Length of animation
- Form of media delivery
Also gathered from the online request are attached files if available.
- Sketches
- Drawings
- Plan views
- Elevation views
- Sectional views
- Photos
- Video
- 3d Models
Creating the 3D Model
Modeling
Modeling involves reviewing the supplied client description and then employing suitable
techniques within the 3D Studio Max environment to create and develop the 3d models.
During this stage the models resemble wireframe object.
Materials
Materials can be added to the model to mimic how real objects reflect or transmit light
and thereby creating realistic textures. We have a wide range of materials that we can
apply to achieve the client’s desired look and feel (ie, artistic rendition, surreal,
clean and shiny, antique and dull, etc).
Lighting
Lighting can be added to the model to provide more depth perception and closely replicate
the real structure. The light source can be established “offstage” or within the model itself.
Cameras
Cameras (views) then frame the scene, providing a controllable point of view. It is possible to animate
camera movement for walk-through's and fly-by's. Cameras are able to simulate some aspect of real world
photography, such as depth-of field and motion blur.
Evaluations and Revisions - An Iterative Process
Typically an iterative process works best to meet expectations for the delivered product. When you combine our intense client focus with fast, reasonably-priced rendering and animation services, you have a guarantee of success... the kind of success that can only result from an open and collaborative working relationship.
During the modeling stage:
- We send you proof images
- Seek your input in the further development of the model
- Ask you for more details and further clarification to complete the model
Once we have all the details we need to complete the model we will send you a first draft for review. At which time we will also meet with you to discuss
- General direction-tweak
- Materials
- Lighting
- Camera angles
- Shaping
- Repositioning
Out of that meeting Bastian will create your final rendering. We work with our client to ensure we meet their vision of the final illustration/animation.
Final Presentation and Delivery
Final involves intense computer processing to calculate the shading of the scene’s geometry resulting from the established lighting, applied materials and environmental settings.
To complete the final illustration or animation piece, we use graphical editing software is used (Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Premiere) to add desired additional imagery, logos and other effects.
Our deliverable might be just one rendered image (for illustrations) or a series of images set to a soundtrack (for animations).
Depending on our client’s needs, our deliverables can be any of the following formats:
- Prints
- CD/DVD
- For download on our secure FTP site
Pricing
Highest value for your money
Bastian is dedicated to providing the highest value for your money. We will advise you on the
most cost-effective rendering and output option considering the nature of your project and
the type of presentation you are pursuing.
Factors Influencing the Price.
- Size and geometry of the project
- Level of detail
- Complexity of local topography
- Entourage
- Does your project require adding people, trees, bushes, cars, animals
- Type of output selected
- A single still image costs considerably less than an extensive walk through animation
- Initial input
- Providing us with your CAD floor plans, elevations and sections will cost less than if we have to work from a rough sketch.
- Media for the final product
- The options vary from small monochrome and color prints to stunning videotapes and interactive CDs
