3 Types of Changing Color in Architectural Visualization
3 Types of Changing Color in Architectural Visualization
As an architectural visualization specialist for more than 16 years, AIMIR has confronted various
situations about “changing color”. Some at the early stage such as first round rendering, some,
however, at the final stage. This actually is the merit of architectural visualization – you can
change your mind any time before it’s built. However, in certain cases, extra charges may apply.
How does “color changing” work? Does it really as easy as falling off a log? How to avoid extra
charges? Vegacadd has summarized two different scenarios on “changing color” that you should
know before starting that journey.
1. Change the Real Color or Pattern – Post-production
This is the most straightforward situation, where you’d like to have the actual color or pattern
changed. It could be simply change the color or pattern of a small area, or have the logo changed.
There is not much work involved normally, and it can be done by post-production, such as
Photoshop. Below is a project where the client wanted to change the color of the wall after the final
delivery. It is very clear that only the color of the bricks is being changed from red to grey, which
can be performed by post-production. The same comes to a logo, a drawing on the wall or
anything similar.
2. Change the Texture or Material – Re-rendering
While you believe color seems to be the only part being changed, it is not true in some of the
cases. This means that most, not all, of the situation that requires a “color change” is more than
just colors. Let’s take the following project for instance. The client hoped to have the colors of the
cupboard, benchtop and wall changed. Apparently this color-change needs to re-render because
not only the color but the textures were changed. It is not difficult to tell the difference, as long as
you focus on the changing areas. Is it just the color, or the texture or material? The answer is
obvious when you think this way.
