we provide specialist CAD services for EIAs and landscape assessment from photomontages to zvi (ztv) analysis and animated photomontage - while video-montage and compositing techniques can be labour intensive, we are finding that a popular alternative is to animate the photomontage instead, which dramatically reduces overall production costs

highways visualistion

Working closely with WSP Civil Engineers and Cooper Partnership Landscape Architects Citrine UK Ltd have created a real-time drive through simulation for a sensitive bypass project. Well received by the highways authority and used throughout the highway design process and for mitigation impact it sets the standard for presentation and communication of design proposals

racecourse visualisation

Citrine UK Ltd has taken visualisation to a new dimension with a stunning new fly-through of a proposed racecourse and forest park for peel holdings plc and randall thorp landscape architects - the virtual reality model was widely appreciated giving the press and public instant views of the development in context of the existing landscape and woodland including a new golf course, forest centre eco-village grandstand and equestrian & eventing facilities -  the visualisation technique gave the designers instant feedback to help refine their proposals in site planning and visual impact within green belt

visibility assessment

Citrine UK Ltd has been pioneering a new visibility analysis technique to take account of built form in the cityscape - using building height data for central London we have been working recently with London based architects & planners Halpern, and EPCAD Landscape Architects, producing visibility studies to help develop a prominent site within the local masterplan - our services include preparing virtual reality fly-throughs over the city and modelling the visibility of different building proposals to assess their relative impact on the skyline

visualisation

an architectural visualisation can be misleading without the right context - we bring our landscape architectural experience to bear in creating sensible landscape design portrayal to complete the picture by taking the 3D landscape visualisation to the next level

with a client oriented approach, he now leads a network of highly skilled staff which is becoming known for quality and efficiency

research has led to ground-breaking developments in the techniques for virtual reality modelling and terrain visibility analysis culminating in recent national television coverage of our interactive model of peel holdings’ proposed racecourse and forest park in salford, as well as skyscraper visibility studies in london and road schemes for highways agency appointed engineers WSP, "...setting the new standard for presentation" (HA representative)

Citrine UK Ltd has developed a successful ongoing working relationship with several large and small practices where full use of modern communication methods and the internet ensure a fluid and efficient communication of design ideas and visuals - the company takes pride in its high standards, never failing to win repeat work and recognises that a successful project outcome relies upon good communication with the client to ensure satisfaction at all stages
