Our Production Process...
Here at FOV we know if you haven't previously commissioned computer generated visuals or if you have experienced problems in the past; the processes and technical aspects can seem a little daunting at first. We are here to guide you through each stage of the process and are happy to answer any queries which may crop up along the way.
Which is why we thought it may be helpful to outline our working processes.
Exteriors - Architectural Visualisations
Brief
The details required for production of exterior property visuals are as follows -
1 - AutoCAD .DWG Elevations
2 - AutoCAD .DWG Site Plan

On receiving a brief our relevant team members will review all of the provided information. At this stage we compile any initial queries, highlight any areas where further details may be required and put together a production schedule.
White Block Visuals
At the first stage we produce white block visuals, these are progress models rendered with a simple texture and lighting set up. We use these for approval on any technical aspects, camera angles and basic layouts.
Low Resolution CGI
Once the white block visuals have been approved we apply textures and materials and adjust the lighting set up. At this stage we ask for any final tweaks and adjustments.
Final High Resolution CGI
Once the low resolution CGI has been approved we produce a beautiful high resolution visualisation suitable for marketing purposes across websites and brochures. Click on the below house visual to take a closer look!
