For those not already familiar with blueprints and other such construction documents, it can be difficult to imagine the final product given a set of two-dimensional drawings. 3D rendering is the process of converting those two-dimensional floor plans into three-dimensional models.

The first step in creating 3D Renderings is the same as the first step of Schematic Design: establishing the two-dimensional layout of the new structure or improvement. During this step, we use AutoDesk: AutoCAD to develop the floor plans and elevations.

The next step is importing the two-dimensional plans and/or elevations into AutoDesk: Revit architectural drafting software. This program allows us to create any imaginable volume in three dimensions.

The final step in creating our 3D Renderings is to import the three-dimensional model out of Revit and into a software we use specifically to create photo-realistic renderings (like the one shown above). Using this software, we can create video walkthroughs of the space, panoramas, and even virtual reality tours.
