Architectural 3D Visualization Before Construction
SHORT ANSWER
Architectural 3D visualisation should trace every sales-critical view to approved BIM, CAD, drawings or material schedules. Live action can establish the existing site, while CGI carries future spaces; labels keep filmed reality and planned construction distinct in every property-video version.
Files required before modelling
Architectural visualisation needs approved drawings, BIM or CAD data, material schedules, landscape information and the sales route through the property.
Claims CGI cannot make
Future views, finishes and amenities must follow approved source material. CGI should be labelled and should not imply completed construction where none exists. Motion design carries approved plans and labels, while post-production matches filmed context, CGI views and the property colour pipeline.
Model and render scope
Cost and schedule follow model cleanup, number of spaces, detail level, vegetation, people, simulations, render resolution and client approval of each camera route.
Website and sales-office assets
The package may include a website film, sales-office loop, short property views and still frames from the approved CGI camera path. Each export keeps the same geometry, materials and status labels; future visualisation remains clearly separate from filmed reality.
