Examples of 3D Project Layouts - Client Renderings
All major projects are modeled in 3D to provide the client with a clear picture of the final result, to allow for iterative collaboration on design, and to ensure functionality of new spaces. This process involves capturing the dimensions of the existing space with a laser measuring process, and then creating the new design. With this methodology, you know exactly what you are getting, and how it will look and feel. You can even “walk around” virtually in the proposed new spaces!
