3D Capability

With the advantage of detailed terrain models, aerial photography and highly accurate 3D cityscape models Terralink International are able to produce a new and exciting service.  Using a variety of software Terralink can provide 360 degree Virtual Reality Environments, Fly Throughs and Animations of existing and/or proposed future developments.

Sophisticated software with the ability to include moving objects such as cars and people as well as realistic lighting and environmental effects has enabled Terralink International to produce highly realistic models for use within Television Documentaries, Property Development projects and Tourism Displays.

Property Models

Why use street maps or aerial photographs when you can demonstrate your development area or your commercial properties for sale or lease within an interactive 3-dimensional environment?  Put the buyer in the spot, show them the views and the surrounding infrastructure, you can even show them the proposed new property itself!

Fly-Throughs and Animations

Make an impact and get your message across using Terralink International's Virtual Reality services to produce a highly detailed model of your area of interest.  Whether that is the whole of New Zealand or focussing on a new development Terralink International can produce an animated model or fly through to impress.

3D buildings are stereo captured typically to a spatial accuracy of +-0.5 meters from 1:5000 – 1:8000 imagery (subject to the usual constraints – photo scale, AT etc).

In stereo, all building roof shapes are captured as polygons in true position and height above sea level, these are then extruded to ground level to create 3d solid objects. Other features (street lights, tree position etc) can also be captured as required.

The buildings can then be textured with digital images and combined with a digital terrain model and “draped” orthophotography to create a 3d digital environment.

Building data is captured in Microstation design file format and can be supplied in:

• Microstation design file
• Autocad dxf or dwg
• Esri Shape
• Studio Max 3ds

3d Building data can be used for:

• Resource consent and Planning
• Public “approval”
• Line of sight study
• Shadow study
• 3d animation and modelling
