Description
As mentioned in previous episodes, visualization in the civil engineering industry may not be as ‘advanced’ as that in the architecture world. Fortunately, there are some visualization firms that we can hire to provide 3D models, renderings, videos, etc., to make our projects look good and help us communicate to all stakeholders what the project will look like. Although 3D visualization services should definitely be something to invest in, hiring such firms may not always be attainable for a variety of reasons. Therefore, most professionals are left with the hard task of creating great 3D models and other visualization-related content out of the existing design and visualization tools, such as LumenRT, InfraWorks, and even SketchUp. Today, Sam talks about such tools and, given his experience in the field, dives deeper into the pros and cons of each one of them. These tools have played important roles and helped in many particular aspects concerning visualization in the civil engineering field, but there’s still a gap to be filled. Vision is the software that will fill in that gap, providing an easy-to-use, built-for-civil-engineering, real-time visualization tool.
