- Ann Orwig, Director of Tidewater Operations for
Gwaltney Fleming, Inc.
9Our Solution
- Smart Design
- A software package that renders a room (or more)
in 3D to allow on the spot preliminary designs
through a company oriented, customizable database
for instant customer feedback.
10 Design Process
11Goals
- Expand a commercial 3D package to allow it to
include detailed furnishings stored in a
customizable database - Provide on the spot real-time 3D renderings
during initial client meetings
12Solution Objectives
- Research the current design process to determine
the steps to be automated - Create an intuitive Graphical User Interface
- Find a suitable package to adopt and modify
- Find catalogs of products to render 3D models of
and create the database - Provide database updates
- Allow the product to print a billing list of the
furniture items being used in the design
13 Solution Characteristics
- Contains Customizable Database
- Gives Immediate Prototyping
- Performs 3D Object Rendering
- Models Lighting Styles
- Renders Rooms Via User Input
