Software and formats
Professional architectural 3D visualization requires the use of specialized software. Often 3D artists need to use multiple programs throughout the project.
So what special capabilities do these programs provide?
Autodesk 3ds Max
Autodesk 3ds Max is a versatile 3D visualization, modeling, and animation software. It is used in architecture, industrial design, movie industry and game industry. The program allows you to create visualizations of any complexity, model geometric shapes, create textures, work out details and perform UV-drawing. 3ds Max provides access to a variety of libraries and plug-ins that extend its functionality. The program integrates with other software products (Revit, Autodesk, AutoCAD) and supports a variety of file formats.
Unreal Engine
Unreal Engine - program for the creation of 3D-graphics in real time, with its own system rendering and multiple plaginov and bibliothek. Mainly used for the development of video and application, but also simplify the creation of animation in the sphere of visualization. Editor Unreal Engine has intuitive interface that allows easy to start working with the program. Program supports work with audiophile, video and image that allows to create complex multimedia projects with high quality effects. Another advantage is that the program is free.
Lumion
Lumion - program software that converts static renders in interactive presentation, allowing to move the camera and change the point of view in the scene. Program has convenient interface, especially suitable for novice 3D visualizer.
ZBrush
ZBrush is a program that allows you to model projects of any complexity. It is popular in various industries due to its ability to create unique and organic details. The main advantage of ZBrush is its sculpting feature, which increases the level of realism and detail. The program also allows you to change the geometry of models without losing details and is easily integrated with other programs.
