What's 3D visualisation?

3D visualisation is the process of creating graphics and rendering designs using 3D software. Many industries benefit from 3D visualisation ranging from architecture, film and games, to engineering and manufacturing. A number of products and visions are created in 3D visualisation prior to execution, saving both time and costs for producers, manufacturers and customers.

Where is 3D visualisation used?

Architecture and interior design

Customers these days are accustomed to seeing final designs at early stages. 3D visualisation provides the ability to show interior and exterior designs, layout, lighting, texture and even geography, prior to development.

Product design and manufacturing

3D visualisation improves the manufacturing process by keeping up with design changes and evolving ideas. Engineers and production teams work together to customise and realise concepts at any scale and iterate faster on designs.

Media and entertainment

3D visualisation provides that ability to create robust characters in games, stunning designs for scenes and engaging experiences with effects in film/TV. Artists can create realistic and imaginary visualisations for a variety of digital media.
