From Design to Reality

Testing Interior Finishes

It’s plain to see, from the two images above, just how helpful pre-visualization can be. For “lay-designers” who don’t have the time to learn AutoCadSketchUp

I love that Scmakes it so easy to add textures and finishes to your rendering. If you can’t find an object, furnishing, or finish in their “3D-Warehouse”, it’s a simple matter to create it yourself.

I created the IKEA finish used in my rendering by taking a photograph of the sample we got at Ikea, did some color corrections to make sure the effect was right and then added it to the textures in the Paint Bucket tool.

The awesome Cole & Son wallpaper we used, “Woods”, had a digital texture available on their website, as many companies do.
