3D animation, also known as Architectural animation or Flythrough \/ Walkthrough, is a powerful tool which can be useful for real estate agents and everyone involved in the architectural industry. Flythrough videos have gained popularity in the last decades as a quick and simple way of showcasing a property, no matter if it is already built or still under construction.<\/p>
Briefly, it is a video clip that allows users to have an aerial view of a building, as well as fly or walk through the adjacent territory. While being quite short (2-3 min), it has also proved to be effective as it allows seeing the whole picture of the building and its surroundings, as well as its details. If you would like to find out more about how 3D animation is being created, how it works, why it is so popular nowadays and what factors should be taken into account when estimating its cost, please read on.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
A typical architectural animation video would consist of the following \u2018modes\u2019:<\/p>
These can be in different order but the most common and probably the most logical one is moving from the outside to the inside of a property. All of the modes, or phases, are smoothly and seamlessly combined into one video animation.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
2D animation, as the name suggests, is a video animation that has only 2 dimensions (height and width) and looks a lot like hand-drawn images or old-time cartoons.\u00a03D animated objects consist of height, width and depth. This helps us to get a more realistic picture of what is shown because you can see all the things almost as if they were in real life.\u00a0And while 2D animation is still and probably will be quite popular with artists because of its uniqueness, most people consider 3D animation to be a more effective tool for the real estate industry.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
Probably the main questions that come to mind when you are considering having an architectural animation done within your budget is \u2013 how to estimate its cost per minute and what factors should be taken into account in terms of price?<\/p>
Certainly, the pricing of a 3D animation video varies depending on the scope of work and each project should be quoted separately. But the key points to be taken into account would be<\/p>
\u00a0<\/p>
Before we commence development of an architectural animation, we would need the following input information from a client<\/p>
\u00a0<\/p>
What does the process of creating 3D animation look like? When making animation for an off-plan real estate, we must take into consideration the fact that it does not yet exist in real life. In this case we will have more 3D modelling work to do. This sometimes includes modelling not only of a building itself, but also of surrounding landscape and hardscape.<\/p>
However, it is possible to use photographs of existing landscape and surrounding buildings and combine them with a 3D environment.<\/p>
How do we make a 3D animation? We can divide this process into two phases \u2013 static (making 3D objects which will later be incorporated into a video) and dynamic (creating an actual animated video).<\/p>
First, we need to create static objects that are usually modelled from scratch, but sometimes we use photographs from the site or stock images\/videos if necessary. After that we integrate 3D content into real video footage and add some stock video to bring up more emotions into the video.<\/p>
Now that we have 3D static images, the next step would be to proceed to creating animation (\u2018dynamic\u2019 phase), which includes<\/p>
There is a lot said and written about the wonderfulness of 3D animation but let us try to recap the most prominent benefits that you as a property developer, a real estate agent or a broker can achieve with the help of this technology<\/p>
\u00a0<\/p>
All in all, it is a well-known fact that a video makes a greater impression and it\u2019s rather more engaging for people than static images. It might initially seem pricier but will definitely be more beneficial in a long run, as it appears to be a more vivid way to present your architectural ideas.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
