Visualization Styles
Digital Hand-Drawn Style
Hand-drawn images are traditionally associated with conceptual diagrams and ideas. By combining the same three-dimensional modeling software used to create hard-lined images with the power of advanced photo manipulation packages, the result can be a digital "hand-drawn" image of a community or project.
This style is useful for showing future development that may occur or ideas and concepts for a particular redevelopment project. Hand-drawn images reduce the detail and complexity of a model while providing a "what-if" type of interpretation.
Digital Hard-Lined Style
Hard-lined images give a very rigid and mechanical feel to a model. This style is often interpreted as the concrete image of the existing or future development of a community.
Several variations are possible with this style. Buildings can be shown with actual materials (i.e. brick, siding, stone, etc.) or with only colors. The same is true for ground cover and pavement. The hard-lined style is the most accurate and complex output form as objects are shown in full detail instead of vague shapes or swathes of color.
Clay Model Rendering
Before the development of computer aided three-dimensional modeling, it was not uncommon to use physical models of a community or development in order to visualize future improvements.
Using advanced rendering software, LSL is able to provide a "clay model" style output for any three-dimensional model. This unique style is appropriate for showcasing a community or project in an almost tangible manner.
Many options for this type of style are available including the use of full color, accenting color, and simulated lighting. |
