& Future of 3D Renderings3D Renderings

3D rendering is a very renowned terminology in the world of 3-dimensional animation. It

forms the basis of every 3D outcome and architectural model makers in Australia employ

rendering to create the best of results.

3D rendering has its origin in 1970s but evolved to the adaptations you can see now.

Originally, they were wireframes but with advancement of technology, 3-dimensional

wireframe objects were translated on screen. Progress in hardware enabled movement to

the 3D object. Thereafter, the wires were eliminated to reveal a more concrete and life-like

shape to the proposed object. 3D perspectives made their entry subsequently supplying

the shape with vanishing points in order to give it some 3D depth. Color was thereafter

introduced but the first colored views were lifeless since they lacked many important

elements to a 3D object such as shading, texture and illumination. While 3D emerged,

rendering was unheard of then.

Advent of 3D Renderings

The first set of 3D renderings was very rudimentary. Although they were better than

colored 3D objects, they were still basic. Some techniques were developed in those days

and these included texturing, shadows and

transparency. Texturing involved development of a

more realistic image to the 3D object. Light plays a

huge role in creating superb 3D renderings. The use

of lights meticulously helped in displaying shapes

and textures appropriately. However, each

technique involved multiple parameters and hence

took several hours to weeks to produce an image.

The scenario is different today. Computers of today

are faster and can hence handle the task with relative ease.

Modern 3D renderings

Today Architectural model makers in Australia use 3D renderings to showcase maximum

impact. Hardware was the biggest limitation during the initial days of 3D rendering. Speed

of hardware determined quality and speed of production process.

It was not until the 90s that hardware gained speed and better processing power to create

better photographic quality. Thereafter, advancement in 3D rendering hardware propelled

the advent of new techniques. Radiosity and Caustics came into play.

3D Renderings and Architecture

3D renderings are used by architectural model makers in Australia for a number of reasons.

They include but are not limited to

Design development and pre-visualization

3D architectural presentations

Fly-through animated presentations

Creating construction plans

Process of obtaining development approvals

Thus 3D renderings have evolved over a period of time;

And their path of evolution has not ceased either.

There is a lot more potential and advancement of technology can make production of

virtual images closest to reality, if not better.
