Using Actual Photos in 3D Walkthroughs


3Dwalkthroughs.com's goal is to create extremely realistic 3D Walkthroughs, 3D Renderings, 3D Floor Plans and Interactive 3D Presentations that effectively demonstrate a development project before the first shovel hits the ground.
We are often approached by developers that tout the views their development has to offer as one of the biggest selling points of a project. When this is the case we can often seamlessly integrate actual photos into the finished Custom 3D Walkthrough. Without giving away all of our tricks we will simply say that we have come up with creative ways to integrate photos that blend in naturally with the rest of the 3D presentation.

For development projects with a limited budget, using actual photos instead of modeling the entire environment is the perfect way of staying within an affordable range. It is important to mention that the quality of the photos must be top notch to match the quality we can render with our 3D presentations. If low resolution or blemished pictures are integrated into a 3D Walkthrough, it will only serve to turn off a potential buyer.

Panoramic images often work the best as you pan across a very wide area, capturing the entire view a project has to offer. Not too long ago we completed a NYC project that overlooked Central Park South. As the building already existed we were able to get up to the gutted apartment and capture the exact views the apartment had to offer.

Here is the result>>
