Photomontage
A photomontage CGI is a normal photograph, with the proposed building or development dropped in using CGI. The photograph can be either supplied by the client (in which case positional info should also be supplied) or an in-house architectural photographer can capture the shots you need.
Using the recorded position of the camera, along with some of the metadata stored within the digital photograph itself, the camera's position, angle, focal length and field of view can all be determined and replicated inside a 3D model with your building or development.
This data is then used to produce a cutout image of your building. This is then passed to a digital artitst who will merge this image with your photograph, adjusting colour, white balance, gamma curves and tones to match the original photograph. The result is a convincing photomontage showing your building as if it were already there!
For more contentious sites, which require supporting documentation for planning applications, Blue Cube Studios also offer Verifed Views. These are similar in appearance to a photomontage, however, they are created using survey coordinates and/or GPS data. They are then supplied with method statements which verify the accuracy of the image created. This is important for large projects, and situations where the CGI's accuracy needs to be proven.
