Photorealistic rendering of the riverfront in Brunswick, Maine: a mill building on the water, the bridge beyond and the town on the far bank

Photorealistic renderings, from sketch to finished design

In addition to the photorealism built into 3D Visualization, RDV Systems is a full-service visualization studio: high-resolution renderings of existing conditions, final design and everything in between, from a napkin sketch to the finished project.

Time of day and season

On-demand photorealistic rendering comes back in a fraction of the time a traditional studio needs, and the same raytraced model renders under different environmental factors.

  • Sun angle
  • Season
  • Water levels
  • Fog
  • Shadow

A morning raytrace of a redesigned bridge or street shows stakeholders the project the way they will actually experience it, not a flat daytime rendering that hides how the design reads at rush hour or in winter light.

Construction staging

Layer controls show construction staging and information overlays on the same photorealistic model used for the finished design, so a public meeting can see each phase of the work instead of only the end state.

That staging view is rendered from the identical raytraced scene as the final image, so there is no separate model to keep in sync as the construction sequence changes.
