Sketchup Model for a Planning Application in Croydon Borough

We are pleased to present a series of perspective views created in support of a planning application in the London Borough of Croydon. The scenes show ground level views of a proposal for new homes on a sloping site in South London.

Aerial views also show the new proposal in relation to an earlier application for the site and demonstrate how the scheme has responded to earlier reasons for refusal.

3D Modelled Perspectives of a Planning Application in Hounslow

Studio 425 were recently commissioned to create a series of first person perspective views in support of a planning application in the London Borough of Hounslow. The views explore the relationship between an existing church spire and a proposed 7 storey apartment building.

Using Photosynth Desktop to Create DIY Streetviews

Photosynth Desktop allows you to stitch together photographs from many viewpoints and move between them in real time. In theory, this could be used to create home-made, DIY versions of Google's Streetview. This article looks at Studio 425's attempt to create a home made Streetview of Watney Market, in East London.

Photosynth Desktop builds on the panorama software and smart-phone apps, reviewed by Studio 425 in February 2013. The Desktop software create 'synths' composed of multiple 2 dimensional photographs. The software creates a virtual model of the photographed scene and displays the whole scene as a series of overlapping images.

Free Sketchup Models – a High Quality Furniture Collection

The Trimble Sketchup 3D Warehouse showcases thousands of free Sketchup models available for download and is an invaluable resource for Sketchup users of of all abilities. However, finding the right component for use in your own Sketchup model can be laborious as the quality of free models ranges wildly. With that in mind, Studio 425 have created the Designer Furniture collection, a high quality collection of designer furniture pieces, ready for download and ideal for use in design models and animations.

Virtual Model of a Home and Garden

Studio 425 recently prepared a virtual 3D model of a private home and garden in the London Borough of Merton. The site, a single family home in an affluent area near Wimbledon Park, slopes dramatically and includes a number of terraces, embankments and retaining walls. The site topography made it hard for the home owners to visualise how to make best use of their available space.

3D Walkthrough for Bathroom Interior

Studio 425 is pleased to present this 3D walkthrough for a high-end bathroom interior for a domestic extension. The walkthrough lets anyone with a web browser enter a virtual 3D model and explore the bathroom design from eye level.

Using simple controls you can walk around, look up, down, left and right and switch to pre-prepared views.

Road Testing the Sketchup Web Exporter

Google Sketchup’s 3D Web Exporter allows you to generate web-based 3D views of your Sketchup models, that can be rotated and viewed from 360 degrees. We took the Sketchup Web Exporter plugin for a test drive to see how easily it can be used.
