Word has it the luxury home floor plan has been revolutionized. Best practices involving the luxury home floor plan these days include use of the latest computer-generated graphics technology¡ª3D rendering.
3D is Applied to the Luxury Home Floor Plan
3-D rendering technology has interactive capabilities, animation properties, and the tools for providing marketing take-aways tools such as Flash animation, Javascript, mp3 interface, avi and mpeg formats, PowerPoint integration, VRML (virtual reality modeling language), and RealNetwork, QuickTime, and Windows Media.
The client goes online, searches for luxury home floor plans, and finds more than a blueprint and/or a 2D photograph or artist’s conceptual art piece: he/she finds an interactive point-and-click application that has him/her virtually walking on the floor plan (not just imagining it), entering through virtual doors, climbing virtual stairs, embracing the virtual space of the living room or warmth of the den.
The client’s ability to visualize a potential home is enhanced by the rendering of textures, dimensions, colors, sounds, and light by virtue of animation, 3D montages, and audio and other media ambience.
And so the client’s act of perusing a floor plan is metamorphosed into an act of emotionally experiencing a complete, multi-dimensional, multi-perspective and panoramic, multi-media panoramic walk-through of a 3D floor plan with walls, windows, carpets, furniture, and fixtures in every room, with every room having a theme, motif, scheme, as well as time of day, weather conditions, light and shadow and movement and sound.
2-D Diagram, 3-D Rendering, Luxury Home Floor Plan Still the Artist’s Art
The rendering artist and architect are still at the forefront of the luxury home floor plan. He/she still drafts the dimensions, still formulates the square footage, still sketches the specs. But then the artist gets to turn the total living area, the floors, basement, apertures and walkways into more than lines and measurements and estimated perspectives. He/she gets to create the perspectives, realize the proportions, place the objects creating the environment instead of just mapping out a conception of it.
The 3D Luxury Home Floor Plan More Comprehensive and Accurate
To the lines and words the architect can add walls, by drag-dropping them, along with windows and doors, can have a door where the gaps on the plan show doors, or can create virtual floors and then raise them, where ¡ü once indicated the same. And the model can be built to scale, for even more realism and for retaining rendering accuracy.
3D Luxury Home Floor Plan Aesthetic Virtues
So when drafting and rendering a floor plan for a luxurious French estate, the artist can create a brilliant two-story foyer that with rich, creamy French doors opens into a massive main room of reds and golds. He/she can direct the viewer to a rumbling fire that burns in the wall sized fireplace of the grand chandeliered dining hall, then walk the viewer to the dark study, where books flank walls from floor to ceiling. The architect can escort the client to an overhead wing, taking him/her up marble steps to a master bedroom where another fire burns in a more modest fireplace, casting a glow of peach over the room that matches the pinks of the sky outside the rooms terrace doors. And the architect can add a bedtime touch by having the grand piano playing waltzes and lullabies as the light fades gently to sleep. Which the customer could not experience a few years ago, before 3-D technology.
