Virtual Building Explorer for captivating presentations for client

Using Graphisoft Virtual Building Explorer and ArchiCAD architects and designers can explore their project designs with greater clarity than ever before.

Real-time 3D navigation in an architectural design – enhanced with gravity, layer control, fly-mode, egress recognition and pre-saved walkthroughs for the ultimate design exploration.

Element information – surface finishes, volumes, sizes and quantities – can also be displayed with a click of the mouse. Exact measurements can be taken during the real-time walkthrough to help design decisions and forecast cost related design issues.

Communicate

Virtual Building Explorer for better project communication

VB Explorer provides shaded, Open-GL or Global Illumination view styles combined with grayscale, hidden-line or edge-outlined presentation modes for the ultimate design understanding and communication.

The Sun altitude and azimuth; the camera height and viewing cone as well as the image brightness and transparency can be altered for professional project presentation and design communication.

The Virtual Building Explorer “flavors”

• VBE creates 3D virtual design presentations with the help of its built-in shaded Open-GL rendering engine ensuring professional presentation quality. Edge outline can also be activated to provide greater contrast between elements.
• VBEG creates 3D virtual design presentations using the shaded Open-GL rendering engine combined with Global Illumination - produced by the built-in radiosity rendering engine. GI ensures even more realistic visualization – incorporating soft shadows and diffuse inter-reflections.

Share

Virtual Building Explorer for interactive consultation with clients at remote locations

Share your design intent and the architectural project with virtually anyone without installing any application or learning any new software.

All stakeholders - clients, consultants, builders, etc. - can explore and fully understand the entire architectural project design at any stage of the design development process in a user friendly 3D navigation environment. And all this without the need to hold a license of Graphisoft ArchiCAD or Virtual Building Explorer!
