About us
3D Virtual Tours
These are a new way to show buildings or interiors, think of it like Google Street View or a game where you can just roam around, check places out. But these are architecture-centric, allowing users to explore a scene in greater depth, moving around instead of being limited to static renderings. With 360 virtual tours, users are fully immersed in the space and see different features of the property.
Why go for 3D Virtual Reality Tours?
3D virtual reality tours offer a unique visualization experience. These services are slightly costlier than static 3D renderings. But, they provide total freedom for viewers to see the object from all angles. Unlike traditional animations, the camera path is predetermined, showcasing almost four times more space than renderings. But 360 virtual tours let users focus on areas of interest.
Architectural 3D virtual tours are ideal for both exteriors and interiors. They excel at showcasing entire complexes or districts. This includes infrastructure and even the landscapes! Exterior virtual tours typically pass through nearby places or objects between structures. These include parks and playgrounds. They offer an immersive walking experience.
For interiors, virtual tours allow walkthroughs of individual rooms. Prospects can immerse into the properties without the need to even visit it. They can also view the entire apartments and houses. These tours became popular after COVID-19. They enabled virtual shopping.
Types of Architectural 3D Virtual Tours
There are two main approaches to creating 3D virtual tours:
Panoramic 360 Virtual Tours
These tours use panoramas created by setting camera viewpoints within a room. Users can move along these points, embracing the potential of the entire space. The tours are made in standard rendering programs like 3ds Max, Corona Renderer, and VR. They offer a mix of photorealism and user freedom.
VR Tours
Created in engines like Unreal Engine or Unity, VR tours offer complete freedom of movement exactly like a game. Users can walk anywhere in the space, turning the camera in any direction. VR tours usually don’t match the photorealism of panoramic tours, looking more like modern computer games.
When choosing a 3D virtual reality tour, clients must choose between realism and limited movement. Or, they can go for more freedom with slightly less realism i.e. the VR Tour.
The Workflow
The workflow for creating a panoramic 360 virtual tour involves several steps:
- Firstly, we build the scene for exterior or interior projects.
- Then, we set up the lighting to create the perfect atmosphere.
- Next, we strategically set the camera points to guide user movement.
- After that, we conduct a round of revisions, understanding clients’ preferences and focus.
- Finally, we coordinate closely with the client to ensure everything meets their vision.
VR Tour Workflow
- To start, we construct the scene for the VR tour using Unreal Engine or Unity.
- Next, we adjust the lighting to create the desired ambiance.
- Then, we define the camera paths to facilitate user navigation within the VR space.
- After that, we integrate interactive elements for an immersive experience.
- Following this, we perform a round of revisions to fine-tune the details.
- Lastly, we work closely with the client to ensure the VR tour aligns with their expectations.
At the of the day, despite these differences, the core workflow remains similar with the only difference being Maneuver Freedom vs Quality.
