3D Services

The highly skilled team at G-Net can enliven and animate conventional architectural plans through the use of 3D modelling, light adjustments, applying textures and 3D rendering. The high quality of our architectural CGIs is achieved through painstaking attention to detail when dealing with the surrounding landscape and infrastructure. The addition of roads, cars and people help to further authenticate our photorealistic images, and any plants and other features outlined in the supplied plans are accurately included as directed.

3D images for interiors are achieved by creating interior walls, ceilings, doors and windows, applying colour and texture, and installing furniture and decor to complement and enhance the building design. Our 3D visualisation service provides custom furniture and decor to suit the project requirements, but models may be requested from our own portfolio. We’d love to hear about your next project – contact us today.

G-Net takes 3D visualisation to a whole new level through the powerful medium of animation. Animated interior walk-throughs and external drive-throughs can breathe life into projects that are still in the planning or building phase. Animation is the ultimate visual aid to give life and realism to a development or product. The addition of visuals and audio further enhances the overall experience for your audience, who will be effortlessly transported through a new home or any other building complex.

Our dynamic team will transform your architectural plans into an accurate 3D model that also incorporates the surrounding environs and landscape features of your proposed development. 3D animation is highly effective as a visual aid when communicating a project to clients, planners or investors, forming the focal point of a presentation or the centrepiece of an exhibition, as well as for use in marketing materials such as videos, DVDs, or posted on a website. We can also upload the animations to video channels like YouTube and Vimeo. Contact us today for a free, no obligation quote.

PHOTOMONTAGE IMAGES

We superimpose a photorealistic CGI of a proposed development into a series of high-resolution photographs to give an accurate representation of how the planned project will look when completed and situated in its wider environmental context. Arranged and presented as a photomontage, these images accurately communicate the visual impact of a planned development to the decision makers. This perspective is particularly effective when set against the backdrop of its intended surroundings and viewable from predefined vantage points. During the planning process, the use of a photomontage to present a prospective project can be hugely beneficial for a client seeking planning permission. Our professional G-Net team works closely with clients to ensure that any images produced for this purpose are accurate and delivered on time.

VERIFIED PHOTOMONTAGE IMAGES

This specialised service proves particularly useful at the planning stages of a development and requests by planning authorities for verified views are becoming increasingly commonplace. A surveyor is enlisted to inform the creation of this type of photomontage, which is produced by capturing verifiable viewpoints by camera and taking note of relevant key points. We use this verified data to create a visually accurate representation of a development within its wider context, so that the impact on its proposed location can be easily assessed. The camera information collected is submitted along with our method statement and visualisations of ‘before and after’.

VERIFIED PHOTOMONTAGE PROCESS

1: Following consultation with the client, plans are supplied to us and viewpoints of the location are identified.
2: A site visit is arranged for photographs to be taken. Careful records are kept regarding the camera’s optical axis height, lens type, the time of day and the camera’s approximate position within the national coordinate system (when available).
3: Our surveyor visits the site to consider each viewpoint location and key points.
4: An accurate 3D model of the planned development is generated and the appropriate lighting and materials are applied.
5: Virtual cameras are created using the detailed information collected when the photographs were taken, such as focal lengths and key points.
6: Final renders are applied to the 3D model before accurately positioning it within the site photography.
7: Clients will receive draft images by email and any feedback or adjustments suggested will be addressed before the final images and methodology report are supplied.

Our 3D floor plans are generated from traditional 2D floor plans and are an extremely useful visualisation tool for architects, builders and property owners trying to clearly communicate their designs to their clients. Depicted from a bird’s eye view, these 3D images allow the viewer to easily comprehend even the most complex architectural concepts. This means that any issues can be easily identified and changes implemented early in the design phase.

This type of study illustrates the shadows that will be cast by a proposed development and is extremely useful for planning authorities trying to identify the impact a building will have on its intended location. A 3D visualisation of a shadow study can also demonstrate how shadows will fall at any given time of year. Industry standard times are 21 December, 21 March and 21 June at 9am, 12pm and 3pm (winter and summer solstice and spring equinox) and cover the full spectrum of shadows, from shortest to longest, that will be created. It should be noted that shadow analysis is distinct from daylight analysis, which is the calculation of lost light in an existing building due to a proposed development.

G-Net can produce high-quality photorealistic visualisations and animations of your product from sketches, photographs and computer files, such as dwg, solidworks and autocad. Through this important service, our team has successfully assisted various clients in clearly visualising and marketing their new products, as our large portfolio of product animations can testify. These 3D visualisations and animations allow the viewer to better understand even the most complex products, and are invaluable as a visual aid for promotional purposes, when uploaded to websites or displayed at seminars and trade shows.

What is Matterport?

Matterport is our powerful all-in-one 3D service that lets you create 3D Walkthroughs and 360 Degree Tours of your space.

Creating experiences like nothing you have seen before, G-Net 3D’s Matterport service digitises your house, office, shop, and everything in between from multiple angles and data points.

This is brought expertly together into a full, expansive 360 Degree Twin of the space that be shared with clients, potential buyers, on a website, social media or as an interactive way to engage with the public.

3D Walkthroughs, 360 Degree Tours and Doll House Views are increasingly becoming the next generation way for property agents, buyers, marketing departments, interior designers and portfolio investors to get the big picture of a space and to share this digital asset with the rest of the world.

So, what is the process? We are delighted to say incredibly easy:

1- Make sure the space and property you choose is organised and presented in the way you wish it to appear in your 360-degree tour/ 3D Walkthrough. Our professional Matterport Data capturer will arrange to come on site for photography and data capture.

2- The captured data points are collected, merged, and rendered into a cohesive 360-degree experience. The 360-degree experience is then edited to include certain hotspots (navigational viewpoints in the tour) or to include specific information in the form of Mattertags, slideshows or highlighting interesting elements of the property

3- The Finished 360-degree Tour/3D Walkthrough can then be shared to a list of clients, on a listing for a property, embedded on a website or shared with your audience over social media.

So, what are you waiting for? Reach out to us through our contact button above, tell us about your project that you would like to capture in a 360-degree experience and let the team at G-Net 3D take care of the rest.
