A recent project
I recently did some 3-D drawings for a local contractor who was designing a window wall for a client. He took some pix of their house and gave me a quick sketch of what he wanted to do and I did a 3-D rendering of the client's new room.
For an expensive addition, the cost was little, and showed the client how their rooms will look after the project is finished. A real boon for all involved with the project.
The images here are 2_d renderings of the 3-D images I do for clients.
The first two images show the interior looking out. The detail of the house is accurate down to the Persian rug, the flowers on the tables and the pictures on the tables [OK maybe not the exact picture]. the client is able to "walk through" the house and see any view they want - it is surprisingly realistic. These clients wanted the people out of their house!
This image shows the view from the outside looking in.
This was all done using SketchUp. I sent the file to the contractor who reviewed it for accuracy and content. To avoid all the "gotchas" in sending a large file these days, I uploaded it to my FTP site and the client downloaded it to his computer. He also downloaded the free viewer from SketchUp.
The clients could quickly see what their home would look like with the new windows and asked the contractor for a couple of minor changes and went ahead with the job. The contractor thought that without the 3-D renderings the project would have taken a month or more to initiate. The client loved being able to "walk through" their "new" home and see it as it will be.
A real win-win for everyone. I routinely provide this service for my clients for both furniture and cabinets. Everyone likes to see what the new stuff will look like when it is in their house.
I'll have some more projects later this weekend.
