Are you a new home builder or architect?
Computer generated images ( CGI’s ) or 3 dimensional rendering has changed the face of new homes marketing and brought an early sense of visualisation to the buyer. This ability to see the final product at an early stage often way ahead of construction has become an excellent tool to the real estate industry.
The advantage of winning forward sales at such an early stage of procurement is enormous and CGI’s can often be considered as paying for themselves over and over again.
The creation of CGI’s has spawned a new industry which has become known as Architectural Visualisation.
Architectural Visualisation is the terminology used in the construction industry when a CGI is used to create an image of a future real estate project. Its values when submitted with a planning application are tremendous as it enables the planning officials to immediate see the architects vision.
Often CGI’s are merged with existing street photos to show how the site road scene will appear once the development has been completed. This is referred to as Photomontage and can show the surrounding properties and landscaping.

External CGI (Eye Level)
These are your typical everyday CGI. They are generally of the front elevation of the property, showing two of the better looking facades from an angle. Camera is at eye level.
External Aerial Image CGi
Also known as 3D Site Plans - these CGI’s are distinguished by their high camera level, looking down on the site from an angle.They can show one building or a whole site and work well to show a grand property and it’s grounds/pools/decking etc.
External Street Scene CGi
Usually at eye level, these images are similar to conventional property CGI’s but the main difference is they show a cluster of buildings; either in a row, or private driveway where there are 2 or more properties all in view.
Top Down Site Plan CGi
These are flat site plans which are cut from a 3D model.They therefore have depth and shading, as well as sunlight. They make excellent site plans for small to medium size developments.
Internal CGI
These are designed to emulate showhome photography Cameras are usually at eye level and sit in the corner of the room looking towards the window or other features. Kitchens and Bathrooms are more involved than other rooms and involve additional costs.

3D Floor Plans CGi
An attractive alternative to boring 2d black & white floor plans. These show the furniture and layout of the property, instantly helping purchasers appreciate the merits of the property and look great in brochures. These are PRICED BY FLOOR.
External Virtual Tour CGi
Also known as a Fly-through Animation. These usually consist of a mixture of eye level, aerial and close up camera pans, which are then cut together into a video clip of 1-3 minutes.
360 degree building/site spin CGi
These animations see the camera spin slowly around either a single building, or a small cluster of buildings. This gives an overview of every facade and aspect of the site. They make useful bite-size video clips for an interactive website or DVD.
Internal Walkthrough CGi
Fairly self explanatory, these walkthroughs can either cover all the main rooms of a property, or just a selection of the main featured rooms - depending on budgets.Cameras move slowly with lots of camera pans as if filming a show home.
