Blender is a freely available 3D modeling software that enables the use of professional modeling, texturing, highlighting, and rendering tools. The visualisations we make can be displayed as static images or interactively enhanced. The thesis aimed to upgrade a 3D modeled apartment into a virtual tour interactively.
Much of the theory was devoted to underpinning the experimental work. In the theoretical part, we describe the interior design and tiny apartments. We described the software and modeling techniques, explained the use of materials and textures, and defined the importance of lighting. Finally, we describe how to render the visualisations and convert them into a virtual tour.
In the experimental part, we first presented the references of the chosen apartment and then described the whole process of creating the virtual tour. We started with modeling, describing the modeling procedures for each part of the apartment. We then describe the texturing and highlighting processes. This was followed by a description of the rendering and a presentation of the settings. Finally, we explained how we made the virtual tour.
The thesis results are static visualisations, panoramic images, and a virtual tour. In the discussion, we analyze our work, the problems we had, and describe the visualisations.
