 Newlands & Company is delighted to
announce that our work will be featured in "Architecture in
Perspective" (AIP), the world's
pre-eminent exhibition of Architectural Illustration. Our rendering
of The Mirabella, a slender 25-story tower designed by Ankrom Moisan
Architects, was selected as a winner from a field of over 500 entries. All 60
winning entries will be on display in the 23rd annual
Architecture in Perspective show when it opens Sept. 4, 2008 at Montana State University's Cheever Gallery.

From a Portland Tribune
editorial published August 10, 2007 titled, “Help Residents
Visualize Growth .”
“As Gil Kelley of the Portland
Planning Bureau notes, “dots on a map” are inadequate to convey
to citizens the impact of new development on their neighborhoods or
their city.
Kelley proposes computer-generated
imagery to show what developments would look like. We agree and
recommend that city and Metro planners enlist the talents of
Portland’s high-tech and digital graphics community to develop
creative ways to visualize growth management options and the
trade-offs that each option would bring.”
We couldn't agree more.

Photo-simulations are illustrations which attempt to accurately simulate the visual appearance of something using photography, digital "paint" and 3D graphics. The following article, originally written in 1993, describes the steps of the process.

The images are from a series of visual simulations produced for the Minnesota Department of Transportation to illustrate proposed highway design alternatives. The simulations were used to explain the project design alternatives to the affected communities.

 Working with engineers, we can capture the output of traffic simulations and link them to detailed 3D urban simulations. This allows us to "drive" vehicles in our animations.
In 3D Studio Max, our 3D modeling and animation software, we then fix errors in
the simulation and employ sophisticated modeling,
animation and rendering techniques than is possible in a real-time
application. Combining these tools allows us to produce
animations that accurately illustrate both what the design looks and
how it works.
