Visibility analysis (ZTV / ZVI)
Terrain modelling and visibility studies are an essential tool for planners and
design professionals, for environmental impact assessment and planning applications. We
are able to produce visual envelopes in a variety of formats from simple point counts to
subtended angle contouring, taking into account curvature of the earth and refraction.
Virtual reality for planning
the next step in large and small scale projects is to prepare basic massing models
which can be further enhanced as the layout and concepts develop. A system which is easy
to update and disseminate throughout the design team is extremely useful to communicate
the design and allow a full iteration of ideas.
Photomontages and verified views
Photo-realistic and stylised images are suitable for final stages of planning
submission, with agreed viewpoints and a near final design. For wind farms sometimes an
animated photomontage can be a cost effective way of representing the movement.
3D modelling and animation
Fully rendered views and animations are excellent for presentation and marketing at
concept stage or worked up designs.
