Interactive 3D Architecture Vizualization

[Sergio]

Hello all,

for sometime I am trying to find the way to make my 3D arch models (which i made in 3DS max 10, vray) interactive, so user can interactively walk around, interior and exterior.

 

I have seen Quest3D can do it, but looks like is very difficult, after you import 3DSmax models into Quest3D, you have to almost start from the beginning not being able to import texture and lights, all in all interface is way to difficult...

 

Another interesting one is Unreal Development Kit but not sure can you make a program for user, or they have to have a game engine.

 

Is there some easy way to make architecture models interactive, and good quality preview?

 

Regards

I'm a big fan of http://unity3d.com/ at the moment.

Hello Dave,

thanks for the reply

 

Looks interesting on the first glance. If i am not mistaken, you require some programming knowledge. Did you manage to do something already?

 

Best regards

wow i am actually doing my thesis on this subject and i am working with a company who's developing a architectural VR software product especially for the archi viz branche. i want to put a survey online soon to help gather data, this could be very interesting for u

Quest 3d is not being able to import texture and lights because this is not some simple "importer" or "viewer" or so on. This is complex and powerfull aplication for real time 3d. Even games.

I made few projects with this - there is no other tool like this. Strongly recommended but like you said - very difficult. In my opinion this is tool for programmers, however, camera walk throuth projects (like Doom itp.) are very simple.
