Before an accurate interpretation of myspace can be produced, information that fully describes each object in myspace must be entered into a computer.

The computer will represent myspace with information in the form of a rendered (coloured) picture. The goal is to make myspace look as life like as possible.

Initially the computer will generate myspace as a basic coloured picture, but with the gradual addition of real world objects and conditions, a realistic image of myspace will gradually emerge.

The following attributes are what collectively contribute towards being a "believable picture": Colour ~ Perspective ~ Lighting ~ Textures ~ Shadows ~ Reflections ~ Scenery ~ Visual Effects (Lens flare etc) Trees & Foliage ~ People & Cars etc. The illustrations below show the step-by-step process required to achieve a real life effect.

Photorealistic Images when used in your presentations or proposals will enhance details, reinforce specifications and will look highly professional. Photorealistic Images really can tip the balance and win you that contract People who are not accustomed to reading site plans or technical drawings appreciate Photorealistic Images.

The content of our 3D Visualisation are pictorially and dimensionally accurate (all our images are CAD generated). Your client will not have to rely on his or her imagination and therefore ALL ambiguity will be removed Photorealistic Images when used contractually can form part of the “terms of reference” again removing ambiguityClients that have a Photorealistic Image of how their home interiors or new build will actually look like upon completion will be less apprehensive, and easier to deal with. The truth is, architectural drawings or floor plans do not give your prospective client an accurate idea of how his or her requirement will actually look like upon completion. There could be major problems if the plans raise expectations that are not realised when the home interiors or new build is complete. In the world of architecture and property, surprises are always unpleasant and painfully expensive. Photorealistic Images can prevent this happening

The picture on the left is a traditionally produced 2D line representation. Once all the necessary geometry has been entered into the computer a three dimensional picture is produced like the one below, ready for the life like creation of myspace.

This is the result of all the three dimensional information being entered into the computer CAD system. A three dimensional wire frame model. Not very exciting, but the image is already pictorially more informative than the picture above. It's already communicating and promoting the idea of what myspace is about.

Here we are adding 2 more attributes:-

• Texture's

• & Colour

Here "textures" or digital photographs of real objects are used to create the illusion of photo-realism. This is evident of the wall clock, cooker and hob. These bitmaps are digitally wrapped to the 3d surfaces. Now the 3d image is beginning to look photorealistic, but there are still other "real world" effects and enhancements yet to be made to myspace:-

There are two very important "real world" attributes missing from the cad rendering above.

All those spotlights shining down and not a single shadow or reflection. The 3d illustration on the left now has these attributes added, and the difference is striking. These attributes are probably the most important. Now it's looking Photorealistic.

The picture on the wall also helps to create a photorealistic effect. Its actually a digital photograph of a real picture.

Were not finished yet!

Let's add another attribute:-

• What kitchen wouldn't look good with a Houseplant or two.

Without wishing to go overboard, we have staged the dinning table by adding a few more objects to make it look like a "lived in" room, and one of my favourite effects "lens flare". This is basically simulating what can happen when a scene is photographed using flash photography. Lens flare has been added to the cooker hood in this image.

Finally, a lived in room has to have people! "real digital people" can be introduced into the scene. Real as in a digital photographs of a real person, as opposed to computer generated.
