Working closely with iCreate, we were able to communicate our vision for Swansea over the next 15-20 years, showing how the key sites could look if they were re-developed in line with our strategy. When people can see what the City Centre could look like, they are more enthusiastic about the...

Photomontages
Merging Our 3D Models with Your Photos
What really matters to planners and other key decision-makers, is what impact a proposed new development will have on its existing location. How will it relate to neighbouring buildings? How will it change the overall feel of the landscape? This is where photomontage can be a highly useful approach, showing a realistic virtual model merged with a photograph of the site.
Whether you're interested in showing distant views from the other side of town, aerial views of an extensive site, or close up 'street views', a photomontage can provide a reliable impression. For enhanced accuracy, consider opting for Verified View Montages (VVMs), which enable us to plot the precise location of our virtual model within the contextual photograph. Although somewhat more costly than traditional photomontages, VVMs are increasingly requested by Planners, who are keen to ensure that photomontages are more than simply 'artists impressions', but instead are verifiable and guaranteed to be accurate.
Photomontages
By combining a photograph of the existing location with a 3D exterior rendering of the proposed new development, our seamless photomontages are invaluable for submission in support of planning applications and for presentation and promotional purposes.
Visually-Verified Montages
More advanced than our traditional photomontages, VVMs are created using global positioning systems and accurate surveying techniques, so 3D model is reliably positioned.
