Architectural Animation

Architectural Animation is usually a short architectural movie created on a computer. A computer-generated building is created along with landscaping, and sometimes moving people and vehicles. Unlike an architectural rendering, which is a single image from a single camera point of view, an architectural animation is a series of hundreds or even thousands of still images made by a moving camera. When these thousands of images are assembled and played back they produce a movie effect much like a real movie camera except all images are artificially created by computer. Furthermore, creating a computer environment around the building to enhance reality and to better convey its relation to the surrounding area before the project is built, givies designers and shareholders a realistic view of the completed project.

Commercial demand for computer-generated rendering is on the rise, but three-dimensional scale models are still popular. Typically architects, real estate professionals, and developers prefer to use 3D animations and single renderings for their customers before starting on a construction project. These professionals often find their clients are unable to grasp the complexity and spacial qualities of large projects without the help of computer generated visual aids.

Many architectural firms are now opening their arms to architectural animation because it attracts investors and customers who may not know much about building designs. Architectural animation is considered to have a bright future ahead of it as more and more architects and real estate developers are including computer animations in there marketing programs.

Architectural visualization possibilities:

  • 3D renderings
  • 3D walk-throughs
  • 3D demos of landscape planning 
  • walk throughs and fly by animations (movie)
  • virtual tours
