Architectural Visualization Glossary

Explore the essential terms in architectural visualization and 3D rendering. Whether you're new to 3D visuals or an industry veteran, this glossary will help you better understand the terminology and concepts we work with at Oblik3D.

3D Architectural Visualization

The process of creating detailed 3D models of buildings and spaces to visualize architectural designs before they are built. Often used by architects and real estate developers to showcase projects, our services cover all aspects of 3D visualization, from concept to final image.

Photorealistic Rendering

A rendering style that aims to create images indistinguishable from real photographs by simulating light, materials, and textures with precision. This technique is widely used to make architectural models more realistic and engaging for clients. Learn more about how we deliver photorealistic visuals for our projects.

Architectural Animation

A short animated sequence that showcases the details, design, and flow of a building. It brings the space to life by allowing viewers to experience the design through dynamic visuals. See some of our animation work in our project portfolio.

Interior Visualization

Focuses on the interior elements of a building, such as furniture, lighting, and decor, allowing for realistic previews of completed interiors. We offer specialized interior 3D visualization to make your spaces stand out.

Exterior Visualization

A rendering technique that captures the building’s exterior design and its surrounding environment. Exterior visualizations often include landscaping, lighting, and natural elements to give a complete picture of a project. Explore examples of our exterior work.

Virtual Reality (VR)

VR allows users to experience architectural designs in an immersive virtual environment. Through VR technology, clients can "walk" through a project before it’s built. Discover how we implement VR in architecture.

360° Panorama

A 360-degree image that offers a fully navigable view of a space from any angle. This is a popular tool for virtual tours in real estate and architecture. Learn about our approach to 360° panoramas for various projects.

3D Rendering Cost

The cost associated with producing 3D visualizations. It depends on the complexity of the project, the level of detail, and any additional post-production work. For more details, check out our pricing page.

Real-Time Rendering

This technology allows changes made to 3D models to be instantly reflected in the render, enabling quick adjustments. Real-time rendering is ideal for interactive presentations and VR applications. Discover more about our real-time rendering services.

Shader

A tool used in 3D rendering to add textures, lighting, and effects that make materials and surfaces look realistic. Shaders help achieve the photorealistic quality in images, like those seen in our projects.

Post-Production

The final stage of rendering where adjustments such as color correction, lighting tweaks, and additional effects are applied to enhance the visual quality of the 3D render. See how we use post-production techniques in our portfolio.

Lighting Design

The simulation of natural and artificial lighting within a 3D scene to enhance realism and showcase architectural elements. Check out our lighting-focused visuals in projects like modern apartment visualizations.

BIM (Building Information Modeling)

A process that involves creating a comprehensive digital representation of a building, providing detailed data on every aspect of its construction. BIM helps streamline collaboration and improve accuracy in large-scale projects. Learn more about our 3D BIM integration on the services page.
