What types of building information are best portrayed in 3D views?
Textures and colors are best communicated through 3D views. They give us a better idea of what the space will look like when we enter. It gives us a better sense of perspective and how we may go through the space.
Give examples of how the building information for a specific location in the project needs to be filtered for different audiences and purposes?
Different stakeholders need different levels of information. For example, contractors need detailed construction dimensions and elements, while clients may only need overall layouts, room functions, and material palettes. Clients may be more focused on aesthetics than anything else.
Should your design ideas always be conveyed through photorealistic renders?
Design ideas don’t always need photorealistic renders. Sketches and diagrams can effectively communicate concepts and spatial relationships. Perception-wise, highly detailed photorealistic renders can create strong impressions and convey materials, while simpler visuals emphasize spatial relationships and design intent without overloading the viewer. Sometimes renders can be too busy.
