3D Modelling and Rendering
3D CAD
3D CAD focuses more on the visual component of a project than on the accuracy of the data. Such architectural CAD services as 3D floor plans and BIM are basically isometric views of the drawings, which turn flat plans into a clear visualization for non-professionals. Even though 3D CAD projects also can display the measurements, it has to be specifically required by clients’ in a brief.
3D CAD tasks can take up to several weeks, depending on the complexity of the architectural design. The whole BIM process includes both modeling and rendering, which requires at least twice as many efforts. On top of that, more realistic texturing and 3D rendering is going to add to the average turnaround time.
I3D CAD services go through several processes simultaneously on top of the creation of basic drawings. Therefore, the price for CAD BIM includes the cost of modeling and rendering, which increases the standard payments for drafts by three times. On the other hand, if an Architect provides such references as ready-made manual drawings and 3D models, the total price decreases in proportion.
3D and BIM architectural CAD services are not as important because Architects can conduct the construction process without them. Many experienced contractors still work without any involvement of CGI. However, most forward industry leaders are already using 3D technologies because they simplify and speed up the work of builders. For example, VR and AR apps require BIM objects for laying them on top of real structures to show contractors next steps in progress. Also, the advanced rapid prototyping fully depends on the 3D printer technology, which allows printing ready-to-use construction pieces instead of slowly building them.
3D CAD services are perfect for a presentation because they visualize all architectural ideas in a clear and spectacular way. BIM displays drawing results in three-dimensional images but adds to it realistic elements like materials, textures, and lighting. The most updated 3D CAD software even allows creating 3D live tours inside BIM constructions, which is equally immersing and self-explanatory for clients at a project presentation.
