Our 3D Architectural Animation Services transform blueprints into immersive, photorealistic experiences for architects, real estate developers, urban planners, and marketers. Using Unreal Engine 5, V-Ray, Blender, and AI-driven workflows, we deliver cinematic flythroughs, interactive VR walkthroughs, and marketing animations at 40% lower costs than industry leaders like The Boundary, MIR, Binyan Studios, Arqui9, and Foster + Partners. Our pricing is globally consistent, adjusted for regional currencies (USD, EUR, BRL, SAR), ensuring accessibility and transparency across North America, South America, Europe, and the Middle East.
2. Detailed Service Workflow
Phase 1: Pre-Production & Data Integration
- Client Consultation:
- Define project scope: residential, commercial, urban planning, or heritage restoration.
- Review architectural plans (Revit, AutoCAD, SketchUp), material libraries, and site LiDAR scans.
- 3D Scanning & Context Modeling:
- Drone photogrammetry for terrain and existing structures.
- Tools: RealityCapture, Agisoft Metashape.
- AI-Assisted Conceptualization:
- Generate mood boards and rough animations using MidJourney or DALL-E 3 for rapid client approval.
Phase 2: 3D Modeling & Environment Design
- High-Poly Architecture:
- Detailed modeling of facades, interiors, and landscapes in Blender or 3ds Max.
- Focus on accuracy: window mullions, material seams, and structural elements.
- Procedural Environments:
- Automate vegetation (trees, shrubs) and urban elements (streetlights, benches) using Houdini.
- Material & Lighting Setup:
- 4K–8K PBR textures for materials like oxidized copper, terrazzo floors, and stained glass.
- Unreal Engine 5 Lumen for dynamic global illumination and real-time adjustments.
Phase 3: Animation & Simulation
- Camera Choreography:
- Cinematic flythroughs with drone-like movements, focus pulls, and dramatic reveals.
- Environmental FX:
- Seasonal effects (snowfall, autumn leaves) and weather simulations (rain, fog).
- Tools: EmberGen for smoke, Phoenix FD for fluid dynamics.
- Human & Vehicle Animation:
- Populate scenes with animated pedestrians, cars, and bicycles using Massive or iClone.
Phase 4: Rendering & Post-Production
- Cloud Rendering:
- Distribute frames across AWS or Google Cloud GPU clusters for 70% faster output.
- Compositing & Grading:
- Refine footage in DaVinci Resolve or After Effects: lens flares, depth of field, and color correction.
- Interactive Deliverables:
- VR walkthroughs (Meta Quest, HTC Vive), WebGL tours, and 4K MP4/MOV files.
Phase 5: Client Collaboration & Revisions
- Real-Time Reviews:
- Clients annotate changes directly in Unreal Engine via cloud streaming.
- Post-Launch Support:
- Free minor edits (text updates, lighting tweaks) within 30 days.
