3D-visualization in interior design: what is it, why is it needed, benefits

Do you want to renovate your apartment? Do not know how it will look like? Afraid that after two months of repair and spending money you will not like it? Order the interior design of the apartment with 3d render service. Today we will understand what it is and why it is necessary. Also, let’s look at the benefits and how the creation of visualization from start to finish.

What is 3D visualization and why is it needed?

In the early 2000s, when ordering an interior design of an apartment you received a maximum of a drawing by hand or drawing. Now – visualization in the form of a three-dimensional model. On it you can see every detail of the interior, to see if it fits.

The purpose of visualization

Show a client how his apartment will look like after the repair. In doing so, you get an accurate image, taking into account materials, textures, colors, lighting and even decor elements.

Good to know: 3D visualization allows you to change materials, lighting, colors, styles and any design elements before the repair begins so they fit in the general style.

Advantages

Here’s why it’s worth ordering a design project with 3D visualization instead of a drawing or blueprint:

  1. Creating a model in just 1-2 days. Changing colors, materials, lighting and other elements also does not take much time.
  2. Ability to create a three-dimensional model. You need to be able to look at the interior from all sides. For example, you will be able to see how the same coffee table looks from different angles.
  3. Creating several options. If you do not know exactly what you want the design, you can order a design project in 2-3 versions, and then choose from them. It could be a completely different layout.
  4. Elaboration of lighting. You will immediately see how the interior will look like with specific lighting. Plus, you’ll be able to change it until you find the right option.
  5. Trying on styles. Useful if you don’t know exactly what style you like. You can look at different styles on the same floor plan and decide which one suits you best.
  6. Arrangement of furniture. You can change the arrangement as much as you need. This allows you in the future not to think about rearrangement, and immediately arrange the furniture conveniently even before buying it.
  7. Replacement of any design elements. For example, if you want to change a nightstand for another, it will take a few minutes. The same situation with any part of the interior. In the case of a blueprint or drawing, the same selection of furniture would take several days at best.
  8. Convenience. Much easier to abandon the style, materials or furniture at the stage of visualization. If you do not make visualization, and you do not like the repair, there are two choices: to remodel and spend money again, or put up with it.

How does the creation of 3D-visualization

The process consists of four stages:

  • terms of reference;
  • creating geometry;
  • fitting of different finishing materials;
  • rendering.

Terms of Reference

Before you order a design project gather documentation about the layout and location of all communications. After you need to make a list of materials for decoration, which should buy. Make a rough plan of arrangement of furniture in the room, so it was from what to move when you create a visualization. At the end of think about lighting.

Important! The purpose of this stage – just to make a big picture, with which you will continue to work.

Creating geometry.

The most difficult and time-consuming stage. Needed to work through each element of the interior design of the apartment in detail and create a realistic picture.

Fitting finish materials.

The stage at which the visualization acquires colors. The designer works with refraction, transparency, the ability of surfaces to reflect light and roughness. Everything can be changed at this stage: the color of the carpet on the floor, the coffee table, the curtains, the texture of the nightstand or the sofa.

Rendering

The last stage, which makes the image real and shows how each element will look in the overall picture of the interior. Plus, after that, you can see how the finishing materials will behave under the chosen lighting.
3D Bathroom Visualization

Visualization saves you and the designer time. Plus, it allows you to see the apartment as it will be after the renovation. Another 1 plus is the ability to change interior details at any time so you don’t have to redo anything in the future.
