Can you recommend any architect / draftsman in my area?

Can we have the digital computer file?

• The working digital files are often quite large and may contain many copyrighted objects (materials, objects, etc.) that were purchased by Zooboing which can be used in the renderings but can not be resold by Zooboing. The contracts and pricing are framed around providing just the illustration service and the image that comes out of that service. If the working files are required, they would have the copyrighted elements removed from them and an additional fee for the model would be negotiated.

How are the 3D models created?

• Short Answer: Magic Elves.
• Long Answer: 3D Modeling and Renderings are done by creating a full size three-dimensional model of the proposed design generated within the computer. With specialized software, we construct a realistic model of the project according to the clients specifications. By applying appropriate colors, textures and materials to all surfaces, adding lights, backgrounds, and accessories, a very accurate representation can be achieved. Once created, these renderings are very versatile and can be used for a variety of different purposes. They are created at a high resolution which enables them to be used as color artwork for display within a sales model, on brochures, billboards, outdoor signage, direct mail pieces, web sites and print advertisements. Because they are a digital file, they may be futher refined to take on photorealistic or non-photorealistic looks (watercolor, colored pencil, etc.). Digital models also have the unique ability to be exported to your CAD program which makes for quick and low cost plans, sections, and elevations.

What is Zooboing's work atmosphere like?

• While we take every project seriously, we don't feel a serious environment is best for the creative process. Suits, ties, cubicles, etc are great for corporate America, however, not at Zooboing. We enjoy the work we do, the people we work with and the environment we work in.
• On a side note, every day is take your pet to work day. Pets make us all happy, and when your stuck trying to figure something out, nothing helps lubricate the mind more than a quick walk or play with the dog.
