Bruck3D and its animation studio, Pygmy Studios Inc. is pleased to announce a new design service: architectural virtual tours. The still images that accompany this are selected screen captures from a demo tour.

What distinguishes our tours from others is the meticulous care we take in designing every component of the interiors, their furnishings, accessories, lighting, textures and colors. We believe that a well executed tour must go well beyond simply documenting a space; it must exploit its design potential to the fullest.

Initially everything is modeled in form·Z, our software of choice. We do panoramic renderings and animate these in a variety of other applications, with toutchup done in Adobe Photoshop. Finally, we add musical accompaniment to the tour and publish it on custom imprinted CD's branded with our client's logo and made available for posting to their website. Additionally, high resolution still images of the interiors are available for print collateral purposes.

We find it an exciting challenge to transform what would otherwise be a mundane photographic documentation into a motivating visual shopping experience for our clients' customers, with lots of built-in interactivity like scrolling sideways and vertically and zooming functions. Inquires about this service may be addressed to: "movie@pygmystudios.com".
