Our Visualization Process
No matter what kind of project we’re visualizing, we firmly believe the best results are the product of a tried and tested process. At Cortland Design, we achieve great renders using a careful, meticulous approach based on data and refined with an experienced designer’s expert touch.
Source Data
- We gather as much project source data as possible to create a detailed visual that accurately reflects design intent.
Modeling
- Starting with either a 3D model (from Revit or similar) or 2D CAD drawings, we create 3D representations of the structure, millwork, light fixtures, furniture, accessories, and landscape.
Texturing
- Once we have a clean 3D model, we proceed to add materials and finishes chosen throughout the design process.
Lighting
- To achieve a near-photographic look in our imagery, we add realistic lighting that takes into account the sun, sky, and any artificial lighting in the space.
Rendering
- We offer many different deliverable types of the final rendering based on your needs, budget, and target audience.
