Integrating Visualization and Design with Real-Time Rendering

Visualization can be an efficient, integral part of the everyday design process

3D and immersive visualization have changed the game in the AEC industry, enabling architects to showcase their designs for collaborators and clients in a holistic, experiential way without drawing by hand or building a model. But the process takes time, both for the visualization artist to work and then to render the result. That often means pausing the design process while producing the visualization or reconciling changes later. Petr Mitev of Enscape shares how real-time rendering with new tools enables designers to create high-quality visualizations without the need to export, rework, or touch up their models. 3D and VR explorations can be part of the everyday design process, not a detour, enabling teams to engage stakeholders and build consensus as they work.
