House Client...

[hockley91]

I have a potential client that want to visualize his home in real time. He would like for me to show his house and walk through it with him using the mouse.

 

I am using 3D studio max, and the only way I can do this is to show it to him in shaded mode. There isn't going to be much detail here. Just so he can get a sense of what the spaces will be like.

 

I'll just have to have some free cameras and move through the spaces, and be wary of the camera height as I pan around and move. It's a huge house....like a 1.5 million dollar home.

 

I don't like to do these tyes of projects, but I could sure use the money. I was thinking of doing this on an hourly basis, because who knows what will happen with this or how much he'll want to do after he sees it.

 

I haven't investigated the "real time" options that I've read on the other threads, but I am going to look into it in the future. For now, this seems to be the only option for me.

 

Does this all sound correct to anyone? I can't think of another way.

For VR projects that isnt part of your day to day services and production pipeline(yet)

I'd recommend Turntool. http://www.turntool.com

 

You can just download the plugin and render your project via radiosity, afterwhich

you can send the generated turntool file to turntool.com and have that file licensed.

Then show the project to your client.
