3D Visualization of interiors to order

HOW WE WORK

The process of 3D visualization of interiors consists of several stages:

Conclusion of an agreement and prepayment of 50% of the order amount

Receiving technical specifications (TS) from the designer

Discussion of which models will be used ready-made, and which ones need to be ordered from a modeler for additional money

First sketches

Changing geometry or confirming it

Finalizing sketches

Making possible edits

Renders with post-processing

Payment for the remaining part of the order

LET'S CONSIDER EACH STAGE IN DETAIL

Methods of effective interaction between the customer and the studio. We have several options, tested in practice.

We clarify which specific rooms we will visualize in the project.

We determine whether there are any unique items in the interior that will definitely need to be given for modeling.

We calculate the resulting square footage minus bathrooms and dressing rooms, since we evaluate them individually.

When all issues are resolved, an advance payment of 50% of the total project amount is made. If the project is large, it can be divided into several stages. And then an advance payment is made only for the first stage. As soon as the advance payment is received on the account, we immediately begin work.

Website - miro.com

For us, the most preferable way is to organize the workflow through the website www.miro.com. This board speeds up the interaction between the studio employees and the customer and allows avoiding many problems related to data loss.

Skype / Telegram

Interaction via Skype or Telegram. Here we call each other and demonstrate our screen, showing the project. We have a detailed discussion and simultaneously record the screen. After the conversation is over, the recording is given to the performer. This method allows us to identify the details of the technical task and discuss possible problems when working on the project. Subsequently, edits are made in the same way. Below is a video with a similar recording of the conversation

Chat / Mail

Experience in this area has revealed many problems when working in a regular chat or via mailbox. Therefore, this type of interaction is absolutely not suitable. A chat can be created, but it is usually not worth discussing the project in detail there, since the information can subsequently be lost.

For more information on how to work on this resource, watch the video below. It will take you no more than 30 minutes to master the functionality of the site. At the same time, no additional software installation is required on your computer. All that is needed is just a simple registration.

P R E V E R I A N T

The first option is to make sketches in color with some noise. They are screenshots from the rendering window and look like this

They are done very quickly and do not require post-processing. They can also be shown to the customer.

The second option is to make black and white sketches with some elements in color (background outside the window, floors, glass partitions). In this case, you can get sketches faster after starting work on the project, since we will not have to waste time on texturing.

It may also be easier to approve the geometry using this sketch, since the customer will not be distracted by the color scheme. An example of such a sketch is above.

After the geometry of the project is approved, color sketches are also made as in the first version.

In both cases, we work with sketches until we get approval for the project. But the number of free iterations for making edits can only be three. Further, there will be a discussion of additional payment, since we all need to value each other's time.

I would like to draw attention to one point. Often designers ask to turn on all light sources in the project at once. We are categorically against this approach. Because in life you will never do this. It is very important to work out the scenario of turning on light sources for a particular render.

If we choose a mixed lighting scheme, and this is daylight from the windows, plus a small backlight from internal light sources, then we need to choose a scenario so that, firstly, the power of the internal sources does not interrupt the daylight and does not burn out the shadows with this internal light. If you really need to show full illumination by internal sources, then it is better to choose an evening or night version of interior lighting. All this can be discussed in the process of 3D visualization of the interior of your project.
