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...

Photomontage involves merging a photograph with a computer generated image (CGI) to create a perspective that shows a new building in the context of its surroundings. We begin by creating a 3D model of the building from the CAD drawings, complete with photo-realistic surface materials and landscaping.
We then output a CGI of the building from the right camera angle to match the base photograph of the existing site. Where necessary we can clean up the original base photograph to remove unwanted elements and cheer up the scene.
Next, we overlay the CGI onto the photo to create a seamless photomontage view that helps Planning committees, and others, to understand how the proposed development will impact upon its surroundings.
This is an ideal technique for creating credible street scene images of a new development, but it equally helpful for master planning. We can source high resolution satellite photography of a proposed site, and merge our 3D virtual model into this, effectively showing how the development will impact upon the surrounding landscape and allowing people to understand the extent and location of a new scheme.
We can also provide Visually Verified Montages, or VVMs, which offer another level of accuracy and reliability by using GPS and surveying equipment to position the new development in its context.
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.
