Visualisation

Design visualisation is a powerful technique which fulfils many roles. From considering sightlines to explaining a design feature, from producing "artist's impressions" to life-like detail, from supporting a planning application to impressing a client to win a project.

Many CAD applications now feature design rendering and even facilities to generate walk-throughs but dedicated software can produce visualisations and movies faster and of even higher quality. Furthermore, the processes for moving design from design applications to visualisation software have become easier so accelerating the process and handling design changes even faster.
