Project Overview
In 2026, 3D Praxis Studio had the opportunity to collaborate with a client on the retail mixed-use exterior project named “Barks and Board.” Located in a bustling urban area, this project aimed to create a vibrant space that would attract both shoppers and visitors. The client envisioned a modern design that would seamlessly integrate retail and leisure, providing a welcoming environment for the community.
The project was a routine yet fulfilling task for the team, showcasing their ability to deliver quality work consistently. Senior visualizer Ketan took the lead on this project, coordinating with the client to understand their vision and requirements. The team worked diligently to ensure that the design reflected the client’s aspirations while adhering to the local architectural guidelines.
Throughout the process, the team engaged in regular discussions with the client, refining the design and making necessary adjustments based on feedback. This collaborative approach helped in building a strong relationship and ensured that the final outcome met the client’s expectations. The project was completed on schedule, demonstrating the efficiency and expertise of the 3D Praxis team.
Technical Approach
For the “Barks and Board” project, the team utilized 3ds Max and V-Ray to create the exterior visualizations. A key technical detail involved the use of a specific lighting setup that mimicked the warm glow of late afternoon sun, enhancing the inviting atmosphere of the retail space. The team also employed ForestPack to add realistic greenery around the building, which contributed to the overall aesthetic and contextual integration of the design.
The Result
The final renders successfully captured the essence of the client’s vision, showcasing a lively and engaging retail environment. The client was pleased with the outcome, which not only met their expectations but also provided a valuable tool for marketing the space.
