Understanding the right real-estate visualisation formats
The vocabulary of real-estate 3D can vary between teams, agencies and the phases of a development. This glossary clarifies the terms used in a brief, a quote or a sales plan.
A 3D rendering shows a fixed viewpoint, a 3D floor plan explains a home’s volumes, an orbital model reveals the development from every angle and a virtual tour lets you move through a space. The right choice depends on the message to convey and the stage of the buyer’s journey.
