3D ILLUSTRATIONS & VIDEO RENDER

3D rendering is a creative process that is similar to photography or cinematography, because you’re lighting and staging scenes and producing images. Unlike regular photography though, the scenes being photographed are imaginary, and everything that appears in a 3D rendering needs to be created (or re-created) using powerful software.

null
DRONE TECHNOLOGY

Photography with drones is a great way to create breathtaking, high-quality aerial cinematography, which is perfect for marketing and research purposes. You can instantly show the viewer what you are envisaging and give them a perspective they may have never seen before. Photogrammetry: using the drone, BPAS can create a point cloud model (digital model) of any site or building to be used in drawing software such as Revit. A model like this would include most of the detail of the site’s fall, existing structures and even existing vegetation.

null
3D PRINTING & MODEL BUILDING

An architectural model is often used to express building design or a masterplan. Our architectural models show the scale and physical presence of a proposed design. The model is a 3-dimensional replica or expression of the design, usually at a level much smaller than full size.

null
3D LASER SCANNING, 3D MEASUREMENT, IMAGING & REALISATION SOLUTIONS

3D Scanning provides the most precise 3D measurement, imaging and realisation technologies for manufacturing, construction and public safety analytics industries. Laser Scanner is enabled to capture fast, straightforward and accurate measurements of complex objects and buildings.

null
COMPUTATIONAL DESIGN

Computational design using programs such Dynamo in Revit and Grasshopper in Rhino allows 2D and 3D workflows to be automated to increase design quality and efficiency. We combine these tools and the Python programming language to automate documentation and design processes.
