Presentations are a surprisingly big challenge in the architecture community. It's easy to wow clients with stills and videos, but if they want changes architects and arch viz studios have to re-render shots and animations.
Barcelona-based company CL3VER has created a clever solution to this issue - a browser-based system which can render realistic 3D models. In this podcast, Chris talks to CL3VER's creative director Nimrod Friedman, and marketing manager Carlie Pratt.
Despite its simple premise and intuitive, Apple-like controls, Nimrod reveals the huge amount of behind-the-scenes work on a system which reproduces masses of geometry on limited hardware and software. He talks about how it can handle global illumination, ray tracing and reflections, its VR applications, and how they've built a cloud-based backend from scratch.
Chris's enthusiasm and curiosity for the potential applications of CL3VER makes this an animated and interesting discussion.
