Building exterior 3D checklist
This checklist is for exterior building scenes such as
a high-rise, commercial building or house. Naturally if
there are items here that aren't seen in the renderings
then you don't need to provide them.
Plans and the structural 3D model
You can supply the plans in almost any CAD format, or
even as a PDF file. To create the structure of the 3D space
we need:
- General floor plan to scale and with at least overall
dimensions.
- Elevations.
- A site plan with contours and levels.
- Window and door types/designs.
- Balcony and handrail details if they are seen within
the renderings.
- Exterior staircase and handrail designs.
- Hard landscaping plans such as garden edging, ornaments,
fountains.
Hard surface colors and textures
- Ground, pathway and road types and textures. You can
provide this as digital pictures that we will translate
into 3D. All pavements, tiles, edging, etc must be supplied
to us as digital pictures.
- Wall colors and textures. The best place to get us
colors from is www.colorcharts.org,
a website that has most colors on it and allows a simple
translation for us. If you are applying a specific kind
of textured surface then we will need digital pictures
of it.
Landscaping
- Plant species, locations and sizes.
Other
- Views that will be seen from around the site. These
would ideally be a panoramic 360° photograph but
simple wide-angle shots will suffice for basic animations.
