Image Renderings Workflow
1. 3D MODEL REFINEMENTS
Check Client-provided 3D model for accuracy
Create 3D model from 2D drawings OR refine provided 3D model
Develop site in visible areas as defined in project scope
Corrections and refinements
Set up preliminary materials
Prepare data & transfer to rendering program
2. DRAFT RENDERINGS
Model lighting and shadows
Map and refine primary materials
Create primary landscaping
Set up camera location
Define image format ratio
Send out to Client for first review
Refine view
Send out to Client for second review
Refine view (if needed)
Final approval by Client
3. FINAL RENDERINGS
Layout and special effects on 2D people
Adjust materials, reflectivity, and mapping
Fine tune sky, clouds
Create and refine supportive landscaping
