interactive fly-throughs

3D terrain model draped with map of area to create an interactive fly-throughchoose your flight path

our virtual reality models are popular with developers and designers to communicate the wider context of their proposals to planners and interested groups.

we combine height data with aerial photography to create an interactive base model - then we add your proposals, from wind turbines to housing estates, with woodland planting to complete the picture - the model can be delivered on CD-ROM to play on your computer - simply fly around over the landscape from your desktop.

The basic colour rendering used here meant that the model was quick to produce for planning analysis. Original data courtesy of McCarthy Taylor Systems Ltd

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bypass visualisation using aerial photograph draped over terrain model modified to include new road features and tree planting

example project

problem
- greenfield development sites
- sites outside urban fringe
- sensitive landscape and visual character

our solution
- created a 3D virtual reality model of the proposed by-pass
- showed tree planting growth for a 15 year period
- delivered an interactive CD-ROM for client and planning officers to view

successful result
- planning permission granted
- the way has been cleared for housing development
- the client's relationship with the planners was improved
- the final design was sensitively routed to avoid high visual impact of the new road
