3D Rendering/Walkthroughs

What is a 3D Rendering?
A 3D rendering is a photorealistic image that is 100% computer generated. The 3D rendering is based off of construction blueprints and is a great marketing tool that helps demonstrate what something will actually look like after it is built.

Why do I need a 3D Rendering?
A 3D rendering is not only helpful to show your Clients what you have to offer prior to it being constructed, but it can be especially helpful during presentation to the local community review board.

What is a 3D Walkthrough?
Basically a 3D Walkthrough is a computer generated animation that utilizes technology to produce highly detailed results when a property is not yet built. (Just like a virtual tour only computer animated because there is nothing physical that exists to photograph) The walkthroughs are a great marketing tool to pre-sell new developments.

What information do you need to complete a 3D Walkthrough of my property?
A detailed list of documents and other information can be obtained HERE. *link “here” to the .PDF I sent you.

What can I do with the 3D Rendering once it is completed by Getz Virtual Tours?
The 3D rendering may be used for marketing material and handouts, uploaded to the MLS under a listing or place onto your website.
