Keith Bradshaw, principal, Speirs + Major, London and Edinburgh Design is not a linear process, and the more avenues we can quickly explore and pursue with detail and accuracy, the greater the value we can bring to our clients. With this new iterative rendering process, our designers can evaluate the initial effects of a lighting scheme without waiting for the entire model to run to completion, allowing them to change course as needed.

This system, which can process more data more quickly than our existing platform, uses multiple 16GB water-cooled, professional Nvidia GPUs and can deliver photometrically accurate renderings of entire scenes virtually in real time. Lam’s Advanced Computing Team built and implemented a second high-density, high-memory graphics processing unit (GPU) array-a render farm-to run Nvidia’s Iray software.
In turn, we have found that as these capabilities grow, so do our clients’ expectations.įor a recent sports stadium and entertainment project, we found that the complexity of the building geometry along with the client’s demand for super-high-resolution renderings necessitated the expansion of our firm’s rendering platform. High-end renderings are no longer reserved for special projects rather they have become part of our normal design process. However, the rapid rise in our designers’ modeling skills and in the compatibility among modeling programs has drastically changed our internal workflow over the past three to four years. Parametric modeling is not new to the design industry, especially in architecture. Perry, principal, Lam Partners Architectural Lighting Design, Cambridge, Mass. While the advances offer new opportunities in design workflow and project execution, they also present their own challenges, such as added costs, increased client expectations, and the potential for inaccuracies to slip into computer models.īuilding on a conversation that architect’s sister publication Architectural Lighting began last year (see “Promising Innovations for the Lighting Profession”), here are accounts by leading designers from academia and practice on the impact that the digital revolution has had on their work. Every aspect of a lighting designer’s toolkit has been affected by the shift to digital technologies and digital light. The change is palpable on two fronts: the actual light sources themselves, and the tools with which designers create and develop their work. Technology has redefined the process of lighting design. Load path from file… – Opens the ‘Load Path’ dialog to allow a previously created camera path to be loaded into the project.Courtesy Speirs + Major Speirs + Major deployed virtual-reality technology in “The Third Age,” an installation about the city of the future. Save path to file… – This will open a ‘Save Path’ dialog to allow the current camera path to be saved for re-use in the same or in other projects. The plugins can be integrated with multiple 3D software, which helps designers and architects work easier.7 mar. … Enscape on the other hand provides nice and realistic rendered pictures in a matter of seconds. Lumion is growing a lot better and making a noticeable progress in terms of the quality of renders. (To edit the custom render quality settings, select Edit in the Setting drop-down.)19 avr. Render speed depends on the custom settings. Use the settings specified in the Render Quality Settings dialog. With just one click, you can start virtual reality directly from your project. … Rendering for Revit with Enscape gives you the option to experience your designs through virtual reality. What is Enscape for Revit?Įnscape allows you to explore your Revit project in a high-quality, real-time environment. Position yourself at the start location for the walkthrough and press the “Add Keyframe” button. The Enscape controls will now display the video editing controls.ģ. Launch your project in Enscape and from the Enscape tab in Revit click the “Toggle Video Editor” button.Ģ.
