What is a 3D Virtual Tour?
A 3D Virtual Tour is a simulation of a virtual environment that has been 3D modeled. This simulation is generated by powerful software representing the project, providing an interactive, immersive experience. The user can navigate and interact within these Virtual 3D scenes, which are rendered in real time. This helps users (potential customers, designers, investors) understand the project from a human scale which can give a deeper understanding of the proposal as a whole
Are there different types of 3D Virtual Tours?
There are two types of 3D Virtual Tours
- 360º Virtual Tours – These are a collection of combined 360-degree views. They allow customers to virtually visit each space in a static 360º view through your property.
- Virtual Reality Walkthrough – Viewers are immersed in a fully interactive 3D environment that provides a virtual representation of the building as a whole, including all the interiors, exteriors, and surroundings. The viewer can maneuver freely in this space, understanding the whole proposal on a much deeper level.
A virtual tour is a marketing tool that can help educate and influence new customers and investors about your project. We also offer 3d architectural animation to add another degree of l
What are the benefits of using 3D Virtual Tours?
- Virtual tours are ideal for showing off a proposed property in its entirety because of their immersive experience.
- They’re highly shareable marketing tools. A potential customer only has to scan a QR code or visit a specific URL, and they can see the property.
- Analysis of the property by different people with different usage and experience expectations will allow issues to be found, discussed, and resolved before breaking ground and prevents unnecessary waste of significant amounts of time and money.
- Reduces the amount of back-and-forth between you and customers. The virtual tour gives a detailed overview of the property, so you’ll have fewer questions to answer.
- It can allow you to make real-time changes in lighting, materials, and furniture.
- Offering virtual tours makes you stand out. Most developers and architects will have 3D renderings. However, many have yet to offer 3D Virtual Tours.
How do you create a 3D Virtual Tour
We use 3DS Max, V-Ray & Corona, as well as custom software to produce 3D 360o Virtual Tours for our clients. All 3D Virtual Tours start with 2D Plans with which we build the 3D Model. We then generate the 360o images visible in all available angles which are stitched together to form a full 360o view of a location. These can render in real-time virtual spaces enabling you to envision both the interior and exterior properties before it’s been built.
