- Bringing a Small Town Vision to Life with Advanced 3D Modeling Software
The City of Dickinson, TX, wanted to revitalize their central business district that had fallen into decline after repeated flooding. They hired our parent company, Kendig Keast Collaborative (KKC), to develop a plan to transform the area into a true city center. KKC accomplished this using enCodePlus advanced 3D modeling software.
The Challenge
To gain community support, we needed to find a way to bring the 2D plans to life and allow stakeholders to experience the vision interactively. Traditional static drawings can be difficult to interpret and fail to generate excitement.
The Solution
We utilized our expertise in advanced 3D visualization powered by enCodePlus’ 3D development modeling software, CityEngine, and SketchUp to construct immersive models of the proposed redevelopment. Stakeholders could visualize different scenarios and provide feedback.
A 2D conceptual site plan emerged through collaboration. We built an ArcGIS Urban model to bring the plan into 3D and generate development metrics. Detailed SketchUp building and landscape models made the vision more realistic.
The Outcome
The result illustrates the power of 3D development modeling. We created a fly-through video simulating the future city center from a street level view. Stakeholders could virtually walk through the revitalized district past businesses, residences, offices and public spaces.
Our advanced visualization tools empowered stakeholders to experience the plans interactively. The video brought their vision to life in a way static drawings could not.
