Technical Assignment

To obtain flawless 3D renderings, it is essential to create a comprehensive technical task, also called a project task. This is a collection of all drawings, documents and visual references needed for 3D design visualization. For 3D visualization of interiors, the document should contain information about the functional zoning of the building and stylistic references. The latter are extremely important, because they show in a 3D study exactly how the client’s ideas and concepts should be implemented.

For exterior 3D architectural rendering, an architect needs to provide a little more information. Namely, location specifics, facade elevation, floor plan, roof plan, drawings of complex assemblies, materials, and style references. This way, an architect can get the most accurate representation of their ideas without making a ton of costly corrections in the process.

Another important item to include in the project task is the camera angle settings. If you have a Revit or Sketchup model, you can easily set the desired angles directly on the model.

Another convenient way to display the desired exterior or interior views is to specify them on the design.

For external rendering, the desired camera angle can also be displayed by sending an elevation that is visualized in 3D.

If the architect does not have a 3D model, plans or cross-sections, he can simply draw the required views by hand.
