About this service

Summary

Suhas provided realistic 3D modeling, texturing, and visualization to create highly detailed architectural designs. His use of AI tools ensured high-quality results tailored to client needs.

Process

1. Initial Consultation & Requirement Gathering

Objective: Understand the client's vision, project scope, and deliverable requirements.

Actions:

Discuss design preferences, style, scale, and usage.

Gather sketches, blueprints, or references for accuracy.

Determine the type of visualization (realistic, conceptual, architectural, etc.).

2. Conceptualization & Design Brief

Objective: Develop an initial design concept based on the client’s inputs.

Actions:

Create rough drafts or concept designs (2D sketches, mood boards).

Get client feedback and make adjustments.

Finalize materials, textures, and color schemes.

3. 3D Modeling

Objective: Construct the digital 3D model from the provided design or concept.

Actions:

Start by building the basic structure (walls, floors, ceilings).

Add architectural details (windows, doors, stairs, furniture, etc.).

Ensure the scale, dimensions, and proportions are accurate based on the client's brief.

4. Texturing & Material Application

Objective: Apply textures and materials to make the model look realistic or stylized.

Actions:

UV map the model to ensure textures fit properly.

Apply materials such as wood, metal, glass, and concrete.

Adjust material properties like glossiness, roughness, and reflectivity.

5. Lighting Setup

Objective: Create realistic lighting for the scene based on time of day and environment.

Actions:

Add key lights, fill lights, and ambient lights for different moods.

Simulate natural light (sunlight) or artificial lighting (interior lamps, streetlights).

Adjust light intensity, shadows, and reflections to match real-world behavior.

6. Rendering

Objective: Generate high-quality images or animations based on the 3D model.

Actions:

Set up camera angles, views, and perspectives for desired shots.

Use rendering software like V-Ray, Corona, or Unreal Engine for photorealistic output.

Configure render settings (resolution, anti-aliasing, etc.) for final output.

7. Post-Production & Image Refinement

Objective: Enhance the rendered images or videos with final touches.

Actions:

Edit render outputs in software like Photoshop or After Effects.

Add effects such as depth of field, color grading, or lens flares.

Adjust brightness, contrast, and saturation to improve visual appeal.

8. Animation & Walkthroughs (if applicable)

Objective: Create dynamic, moving visualizations to demonstrate the design.

Actions:

Animate the camera movement to showcase different areas of the design.

Implement transitions, keyframes, and path tracking for smooth animation.

Export animation in video format or as a real-time 3D experience.

9. Interactive Elements (VR, AR, Web)

Objective: Provide interactive experiences for the client.

Actions:

Prepare models for VR walkthroughs or AR experiences, if required.

Optimize the model for web-based interactivity (like 3D viewers).

Test and debug the interactive experience for smooth performance.

10. Client Review & Feedback

Objective: Present the work to the client for feedback and revisions.

Actions:

Provide rendered images, animations, or interactive prototypes.

Collect client feedback and suggestions.

Make adjustments as necessary to ensure satisfaction with the final deliverables.

11. Final Delivery

Objective: Provide the final output in the agreed formats.

Actions:

Deliver files via cloud storage, FTP, or as physical media.

Include all requested formats (images, videos, interactive files, etc.).

Provide any necessary documentation (CAD drawings, technical specs, etc.).

12. Post-Delivery Support (optional)

Objective: Assist the client with any post-delivery needs.

Actions:

Provide troubleshooting support for interactive models.

Offer revisions or updates as required after the project is completed.
