Alterations to a 3D architectural renderings
The old fashioned hand painted artwork required that an artist
paint over the original. Sometimes the alterations were so extensive
that a complete re-paint was needed. With 3D we only need to alter
the affected area of the architectural virtual reality scene and
then we re-process (re-render). The alterations can happen at any
stage of the process with relative ease. Archiform 3D's build/price
by scene workflow ensures that alterations take a minimum amount
of time. While the re-processing time requires little or no attendance
by the artist it may take a few hours or computer time.
As an example of timing, assume you wanted to change the color
of the sofa in the above images. It would take less than 5 minutes
for the artist to change the fabric, and then about 10 minutes
for him to see a preview of the final rendering with the alteration.
It may then take a few hours to render the final image, which would
be some on a different computer and not require any attendance.
Alterations to 3d architectural renderings only take large amounts
of time if the scene has been animated.
This is not due to any additional manpower requirements but due
to the extended rendering times. An animation consists of hundreds
or thousands of still renderings combined to create motion video.
One small change to an animated scene can mean days of re-processing!
It's best to ensure all your alterations are done prior to a scene
being animated.
