Once you’ve established a baseline for your ArchVIZ Art, you will need to effectively leverage technology to scale your operation and stay up to date.

Yesterday we kickstarted a 5 parts series about The ArchVIZ BIZ by Norm Li. Read the introduction on the Job Board Blog to get a sense of what is coming… it’s GOOD!

Lot’s of insight coming your way – brace yourself!
360 degree 3d panoramic virtual tours aren’t new. I remember a period more than 10 years ago when we played with this a bit until it was put aside in favor of conquering photorealism.

Let’s start with the most basic of things, introduced by Robert Dukes from Brisbane based rdvisualization studio – A creation of a 360 degree 3d panoramic virtual tour… we will tackle how to get this working inside an Oculus Rift or Gear VR later on.

David Santos is no stranger to the blog, with a very popular article already posted before – The Making of Lake Lugano House.

Follow David in this article as he takes us from start to finish on this one. Enjoy!
