    Explore a space before you visit it in person. Our 3D Walkthrough services will allow people to virtually “walk through” the facility to see and understand every perspective of any structure or facility, from the inside view, outside view, and miniature view to the view of a floor plan! 

    3D walkthroughs are meant to communicate & deliver the complete picture of the factory with clarity, convenience & transparency. 

    So, let us begin by understanding everything about 3D walkthroughs.


    What is a 3D Walkthrough and Why Use a 3D Walkthrough?

    3D walkthrough animation is the process of developing a virtual tour video of the space’s interior or exterior using rendered images. This technology allows viewers to “walk through” the project before construction begins. 

    3D walkthrough on the other side comes with many different names such as virtual tour, 3D tour, 3D virtual tour, and digital walkthrough. 

    3D walkthrough is used to give a real-time experience of a space to users as if they are physically present there while allowing them to move through the entire space virtually. Also, this virtual tour animated video brilliantly highlights design elements, textures, and lighting effects of both the exterior and interior spaces that ultimately improves decision making, visualization and engagement among viewers. 


    Benefits of 3D Walkthroughs in Industry Animation

    Better interpretation than 2D

    2D facility plans were a thing of the past as 2D deals with two dimensions: Width and Height. It is flat with no depth to the facility. 

    However, 3D walkthroughs are meant to highlight the entire facility inside out along with all the details, where a viewer can easily see, understand, and analyze all the parts of the facility stepwise because all the visuals in the walkthrough are powerful, precise, and straightforward. Following that, plans created in 2D animation cannot offer the scope of correction, but plans created in 3D animation provide that benefit.

    A clear understanding of the surroundings

    One of the essential advantages of the 3D walkthrough is its ability to visualize the overall look of the facility because people want to know what the surroundings would look like when investing in a facility. 

    Using our 3D visualization services, we create a detailed walkthrough of your facility in a manner that would make you feel like you are physically present there in the facility. This walkthrough will let you see the critical areas, landscape, textures, elevations, etc, precisely. 

    It simplifies the process

    With the adoption of this technology, there is no scope for confusion, errors, and delays right from the beginning. The reason is simple: 3D walkthroughs will alert you about what needs to be done, how, and when before actually implementing any of them in real life.

    Also, this technology comes with a super detailing aspect, where you can easily zoom in and out every area of the facility that can be easily overlooked by 2D or any other traditional method. 

    3D virtual tours of facilities that are yet to be built

    Witness the entire facility, where you can quickly check the position of lines, processes, and fixed layouts. 

    Understand and see where you can arrange machines and equipment within a factory with precision and transparency. The best part is that you can visualize everything by sitting in your place. 


    3D Walkthroughs Across Industries

    1) Manufacturing Industry

    3D walkthroughs in the manufacturing industry are the real game changers because they have changed how manufacturers idealize their factory plans; this technology makes it easy to see the facility before it is made. 

    Days are gone when this industry used to rely heavily on 2D animation & blueprints. This virtual tour will create an experience to remember and take you towards every corner of the factory floor.   

    Imagine virtually walking through your plant, witnessing the assembly line, and inspecting equipment placement from any angle. Sounds great, right?

    2) Construction Industry

    The 3D walkthroughs will let you witness the complete replication of the actual project, where you will see each floor, critical area, elevation, landscape, and texture. 

    3D walkthroughs are practical in the construction industry because it has the potential to visualize the entire structure or location where you can easily see, observe, and understand the layout. 

    Also, it has a huge role to play in marketing because it showcases a well-defined virtual tour of locations (offices, buildings, shopping centers, etc) that can help you conquer the market before anyone does.

    3) Architecture industry

    The entire architectural industry can use the best advantage of 3D walkthroughs. 

    For example, architects and builders use it to highlight designs of homes, apartments, office spaces, and villas as if the person is watching the spaces live. 

    At the same time, interior designers can also best utilize it to display potential interior designs that mainly include light placements, furnishings, and color combinations.


    Conclusion

    3D walkthroughs shifted the perspective of how we see spaces- exploring a plant design virtually, checking the entire space, and getting a feel for the layout – all from the comfort of your chair.
