COMMUNICATING ARCHITECTURE WITH 3D WALKTHROUGHS
The development in technology over the last decade has led to significant advancement in the Architecture and Design Industry. Hand-drawn sketches, which were once the only form of communicating one’s design, is now a thing of the past. Architectural visualization took a leap forward when digital photorealistic renders were introduced in the industry. Photorealistic 3D renders have now paved the way for photorealistic animation as a tool for communicating one's design. Hence, 3D walkthroughs are now witnessing an age of incredible popularity, particularly in the AEC industry. Designing comes naturally to architects, but presenting it well is the real challenge, and 3D visualization tools such as walkthroughs make this process much easier.
