Architecture appears in manifold ways and therefore also the purpose of use for 3D pictures and animations in this area is diversified:
•	Exterior views from all perspectives
•	Interior views with and without furniture
•	Virtual walkthroughs with which you get the room feeling of an object
•	Show the lighting conditions and the illumination
•	Show the integration in the scenery and the environmental compatibility
And with this some objectives can be accomplished:
•	With a relatively low effort you are able to bring new and existing objects closer to the customer
•	Show realistically what the customer will get
•	Put objects in the “right light”and represent in an attractive and transparent way
•	Show the room feeling which appears only in a limited way on plans and drawings
As basis for such 3D pictures and animations are used plans, drawings and sketches in paper form or in special files from CAD systems (Format dwg and dxf).
For architecture objects there exists a variety of design possibilities:
•	material specific colouring
•	material structures (textures for wood, metal, textiles, synthetic material, ...)
•	lighting conditions (direction, intensity, natural or artificial, ...)
•	photorealistic representation of the environment (trees, meadows, streets, sky, ...)
And with this your ideas become reality!
