We recently worked with Connon Design on the Easdale WwTW (Wastewater Treatment Works) project. This project is to support the construction of new plant buildings, access track and bridge on the Isle of Seil, off the west coast of Scotland. TrueViewVisuals produced the photomontages for the Scottish Water public exhibition. To produce the visualisations we had to
Following the recent launch of the new iPad Pro 12.9, we have decided to simplify our offering to our customers. The new iPad Pro features the A12X Bionic chip with a Neural engine. This will help transform how you experience our very clever augmented reality tools. You are now able to choose from one of our three licensing
The visual impact of a Solar Farm is a key consideration in getting a development through the planning system. The Department for Energy and Climate Change specifically mention visual impact in their Planning and Practice Guidance for Renewable and Low Carbon Energy the visual impact of a well-planned and well-screened solar farm can be properly addressed within the
Scottish Natural Heritage have been trialling TrueViewVisuals and how it can be used when considering the potential landscape and visual impacts of various projects. Fish Farms For the purposes of this trial they looked at a fish farm development off the west coast of Scotland and explored how TrueViewVisuals (TVV) could be used to aid the assessment of

I watched a webcast and was struck by the amount of work and systems involved in creating a “real world” 3D model. The webcast was an Autodesk webcast called Visualisation for the Next Generation of Power Engineers. I’ve embedded it below if you fancy a watch. This webcast takes the watcher through the process of creating
One of the features we added recently is drawing realistic looking Conductor lines between towers on our Grid projects. Prior to VentusAR 5.4 we drew straight lines between the connector points on the tower models. This had the effect of fairly unrealistic looking conductor lines as even across the shortest distance the conductor lines sag slightly
We were reminded today that the latest version of the SNH “Visual Representation of Wind Farms” came out of draft and was published last month (February 2017). Version 2.2 of the guidance is an iterative update following the major release update (v2.0) in summer 2014 and the v2.1 revisions in December the same year. A summary document
