Architectural visualization & physical model
Frequently Asked Questions / BOOK of MISS3
WE NEED TO KNOW
-
Name of the project and location.
-
Total number of pictures and their size - our standard resolution (16:9) is 4000x2250 px.
-
What kind of data you are going to send us (2D, 3D).
-
Type and size of project.
-
Our deadline (not yours) - unless it is said otherwise, we always assume the deadline to be at the end of the day.
-
We accept following file formats :
-
3ds Max 2016
-
AutoCAD 2015
-
ARCHICAD 22
-
Rhinoceros 6
-
SketchUp 201
-
-
All requests should be made 2 weeks in advance.
LET´S START
-
Please send all input data at once (one package.zip or in email).
-
Partial or incomplete data in multiple emails cause problems.
-
Please send all input data in time.
-
Try to keep CAD documents and models as clean as possible with organized layers.
-
We need only relevant information, no hidden layers, old versions e.t.c.
PROCESS
-
First previews are always sent as soon as possible.
-
Main purpose of first previews is to fix camera & sun position, check geometry and materials - we always try to set the camera and sun in a way that will yield the best picture possible.
-
Once camera and sun position are fixed and confirmed, we start with postproduction, so any changes of camera & sun position after that becomes more time-consuming and can be charged.
-
In further rounds of comments we add people, cars, trees, atmosphere/mood and we adjust light and materials according to your comments.
-
Sometimes we may suggest our opinion on how to improve the picture based on our experience, but the final decision is y ours.
-
After everything is resolved, our job is done.
COMMENTS
-
Please appoint one person responsible for communication and comments - notes and comments from several email addresses are often confusing and counterproductive.
-
Please consolidate your comments - send all comments at once.
-
Comments written and sketched directly in our pictures are best.
-
Comments in plain text can be misinterpreted.
-
Comments sent in time always make your images better.
-
Comments received until 15:00 are usually incorporated until next day.
COMMON ISSUES
-
Setting sun behind camera is always a bad setup and we try to avoid it. (Picture looses shadows, contrast and depth).
-
Poor quality insertion photos result in poor quality images.
-
Google Earth does not substitute drone photos.
-
Changing picture ratio and camera position in the last minute. (This request can take hours and cause delays).
-
Changing 3D model during production.
-
Sending archicad file in *.pln (*.pln has missing libraries). We need *pla.
IMPORTANT
-
Please respect agreed deadline.
-
We do not work late nights nor on weekends.
-
We need final data - final model, final drawings; sending update model or drawings in the middle of our production causes delays and errors.
-
In case you still need to update the project and send new data, please inform us as soon as possible, so we do not work on model that is not up-to-date anymore.
