3D Images of External Scenes

3D Images and animations of exterior scenes, such as buildings and landscapes, combine many complex elements. The addition of high-quality 3D vegetation is of utmost importance. Archiform 3D creates detailed models of plants down to the leaf. This consumes more effort than the typical flat face plants that competing companies use, but the final 3D results are superior. This is particularly visible in 3D animations and fly-through. Our Photo-Perfect standards dictate this attention to detail and quality.

Incorporating Real Views with 3D Images

Looking from this viewpoint you may notice that the real view is in the background. There are 2 choices in how we do this; a simple 2D image put behind the scene or a 360-degree panorama encompassing the 3D Scene.Both techniques have their advantages.

A flat 2D image put into the background is the easiest to do, as it is one shot that can be taken in many different ways and often costs less due to reduced location costs. But when used in animations a 2D image doesn’t show any motion with the 3D Camera. If a 3D virtual camera changes direction it becomes obvious that the backdrop is merely a flat face.

The 360-degree photography method costs more due to location and time, as each finished shot is a view in all the horizontal directions. This technique yields the best best quality result for 3D Animations as the view adjusts to the aspect of the Virtual Camera. You can provide us with the images for the views or we can do the location shoot for you for an additional fee.
