A 3D walkthrough is a process of taking a virtual tour of any structure, through the medium of internet connectivity, from anywhere at any time. Basically, if you are considering a real estate purchase, or designing a house or office, or literally anything for a client, you can take a virtual tour of your design ideas before implementing them.
When you’re creating a 3D tour, the first and most crucial step is to set up ‘waypoints’. Wondering what these are? Well, waypoints are just specific spots you pick in the tour that people can click on to move around and explore the design.
Start with a flat sketch. Then, pick ‘waypoints’ or spots at suitable distances where you can move side to side or up and down. You can begin at a certain spot and follow a clear path with these waypoints for the easiest experience.
Another key part of the 3D tour is making sure you set the ‘focal length’ and ‘frame rate’ just right. This helps keep the tour from getting blurry. Also, you need to carefully set the timing for each frame.
The 3D tour needs to look smooth and lifelike. If the camera settings aren’t right, the tour won’t turn out as good as you’d expect. That’s not the kind of tour you’d want to show your clients.
Moving up and down in a 3D animation of a building can be challenging. Especially, when you have to show upper floors, it becomes an essential part of the animation.
You need to set the maximum height for the up and down movement in the animation. When you’re creating stairs, it’s important to focus on these details to make the 3D model of the building look good.
This step is crucial for those in the property business. If you’re a developer involved in real estate, it’s a good idea to add your 3D building animations to your website and share them online.
This feature is useful for drawing in customers who prefer not to travel until they’re completely sure, particularly during a health crisis. It’s a great way to get real, interested people for your property projects.
