Architectural Animation
What is architectural animation
Architectural animation is the art of creating three-dimensional images and videos illustrating an architectural proposal. As opposed to architectural rendering, architectural animation lets the viewers see the proposed building from 360 degrees. It is even possible to create an environment around the building to see the its relation to the surrounding area before it is being built.
Who uses it
Commercial demand and computer generated rendering is on the rise. But a 3-dimensional models appear to be more attractive, more accurate, and more popular. Typically members of the AIA (American Institute of Technology) and BASF (Builders Association of South Florida) are required to make 3D animation and rendering models before starting on a construction project. Examples of common providers of architectural rendering and animation are animation studios and companies such as the Diyi Technology LLC.
Place in the future
Architectural Animation is considered to be very fancy by most small firms simply because of the cost to create an accurate 3D model. 3 dimensional architectural animations take a bigger team of computer programmers and much longer time than architectural rendering. But many architectural firms are now opening their arms to architectural animation because it attracts investors and customers who may not know much about builds designs. In other words, architectural animation is considered to have a bright future a head of it as more and more architects are turning to 3-dimensional models instead of 2-dimensional pictures.
