I think the above video gets most interesting (to me anyway) about 2:06 in, proving that 3DVIA ‘Scenes’ appears to take the integration of immersive, avatar-based, shared experiences seriously – even including realtime chat and geo-specific contextual model placement. With the feature list they’re planning to include, I think they could have edited a much [...]

The Next Generation of Virtual Visualization: Vray Rendering + Dynamic Shade and Shadow

Check out this Vray rendered model uploaded on the ArchVirtual grid by Jules Vos. The rendering quality, combined with the dynamic shade and shadow create a visually stunning and comparably low-cost way to experience an architectural design. We added finishing touches and entourage directly from SketchUp – via Google 3D Warehouse (row boat, landscaping elements [...]

It happened exactly 1 year, to the day I first contacted Jani Pirkola former project manager of the Realxtend team. I heard rumors late in 2007 that they had goals to accelerate the development of the ‘opensim‘ platform, and one of their priorities was 3D model imports. The conversation continued until a few weeks ago, when [...]
