How to make architectural animation

Architectural animation is a direction of three-dimensional animation. With the rapid development of computer hardware, the improvement of 3D technologyand the diversification of creative techniques, the comprehensive level of architectural animation is becoming more and more comprehensive. Architectural animation technology can shuttle to the virtual space of the building, browse every detail of the building, and feel as if you have entered the real architectural space. It has an increasingly wide application prospect in the fields of architectural Design, real estate and construction and repair.
Before understanding how to make architectural animation, first follow the footsteps of LIGHTS to briefly understand the role of architectural animation?
In the process of real estate sales, the application of architectural animation technology can bring incomparable sense of reality and scene to the target customers, so as to make order decisions faster and more accurately, and accelerate the speed of commodity sales.

Architectural animation is more intuitive than the floor plan, and can give the viewer an immersive feeling. Even if the property has not yet been built, architectural animation can still enable you to appreciate the wonderful results after completion in advance. Real estate companies have their own architectural animation, which can not only expand publicity, but also establish the image of corporate products. As a marketing tool, architectural animation is gradually recognized by people. It is playing a huge role both in the publicity of developers and in meeting the needs of customers.
Architectural animation production process:
1. Design idea
The production of architectural animation is very particular about the production idea, production direction, etc., before doing it, we should fully do the script planning and design, that is, the animation script, we need to formulate the main body of the performance, design the shooting and the expression method of each shot, and formulate the production plan of special effects, which is conducive to post-production and is also conducive to the division of labor and cooperation of the team
two storyboard
In architectural animation, the process of drawing the sketch is actually the process of making the storyboard, how to handle the shot, what elements need to be in the picture, how to edit the final shot, what effects need to be added in the post-digital synthesis process, and so on.
3. Modeling
In the process of modeling, the main body is established first, and the secondary can be simple. In general, the model should be as simple as possible. The modeling process is the basic guarantee for the realization of animation, and the rationality and accuracy of the model directly reflect the production level of animation.
4. Animation design
After the basic model is completed, the camera animation is adjusted according to the design and performance direction of the script. When there is only the theme building in the scene, the camera animation is set first, which is very helpful for your graphics card refresh.
5. map lighting
After the animation of the model is completed, give the model materials and set the lighting. Lighting is crucial to the effect of the entire animation, which directly affects the real and visual effects of the entire animation, which is also a very complex production and adjustment process.
6,.scene rendering
After the adjustment of the map lighting, it is also necessary to render the scene model into a video or image. The choice of renderer has a key impact on the quality of the rendered image output, and the selection of different renderers also has different requirements for model making, surface material, lighting Settings, etc.
7. post-processing
After the architectural animation is rendered from the 3D software, we need to adjust the color and add special effects in the post-production software to make the picture more impact.
