Dalton Pump House
THE BRIEF
Until the enormous and lengthy refurbishment of this impressive 19th-century water pumping house was completed, the client had no visual representation with which to facilitate bookings, so they approached Space VR to create some internal 3D renders to show potential customers what the two main areas would eventually look like.
THE SOLUTION
CGI Still Images
Due to time constraints, we needed to produce some visual renders as quickly as possible, so we advised the client to go with still images of the main areas. From our long experience we could accurately give the client a delivery date which helped them plan the commencement of their marketing strategy.
THE RESULTS
This was a wonderful project to work on. The rustic materials and textures of the main reception gallery starkly contrast with the heavy industrialist feel of the pumping house ceremony room, and I think shows our flexibility and adaptability to bring two such different areas to life when time was a factor.

Salerno
THE BRIEF
This exciting new Italian restaurant in Edinburgh was designed with a very traditional look, using rustic and natural materials. As is often the case with such projects, the client wanted to start their marketing campaign long before the project construction had commenced so they needed solid CG images that conveyed the feel and experience of what was to come.

Harbour View
THE BRIEF
Having received interior design direction from Space ID, we were requested by the client to produce CG still images and animations of this multi floored leisure complex, including a bowling alley, restaurant/bar, and private residence, for marketing purposes.
THE SOLUTION
CG Still Imagery and Animations
We suggested multiple CG images and animations from multiple angles for a more complete record of the premises. Often hospitality projects benefit from animations as they show exactly how the artificial mood lighting will affect experience. Within the real-time postproduction section of our 3D software, we were also able to give the client almost instant lighting colour options which eventually influenced the actual build of the project.
THE RESULTS
Images such as these do more than simply supply content for a marketing strategy, but also give the end client confidence in the knowledge that a blueprint has been created for everyone involved in the build to follow. Lighting contractors, tilers, bar fitters, ducting specialists etc can all see what the final product is to look like, and then, as a team, work towards.

Ashoka
THE BRIEF
To create evening CG images of a new high end Indian restaurant that successfully conveys the focus on the interior mood lighting and an opulent environment.
THE SOLUTION
CG Still Images and CG Animation
Hospitality is a sector in which we’re most at home, having over 25yrs experience producing CG imagery for countless leisure and hospitality projects in the U.K and internationally. From that experience we have come to understand the importance of creating atmosphere and mood in our visuals, something that was vital in conveying the high-end eating experience of Ashoka. The CG images were led by the interior design of Space I.D which placed a high level of importance on concealed mood lighting that was adjustable throughout the day.
THE RESULTS
As an atmospheric representation of the restaurant was so important in this case, we produced a number CGI’s along with brief animations to further round out the campaign. All were used in online and printed marketing.

Ramside Hall
THE BRIEF
These self-contained, luxury ‘treehouse’ accommodations needed multiple visual outputs to fully showcase all facets of the property. The clients needed marketing images for their online presence, so we advised a broader package of still images and animations fitting for such a striking development.
THE SOLUTION
CG Still Images and CG Animation
As the properties are regularly booked for a constant period of time, we felt it important to show time of day variations of what could be expected. The outside terraces were also important to visualise as they add to the desirability of the properties. Because of its wonderful forest setting we felt it important to show the site in its entirety, so an animation was also commissioned visualising the approach, aerial views, and populated with characters and leisure equipment.
THE RESULTS
While the interior and exterior images were created using our usual software pipeline, this was the first project creating animations for which we used brand new architectural visualising programmes custom designed for rapid production and photorealism. Animations are often a very labour-intensive time heavy output, but this new technology produces breath taking imagery in a fraction of the time traditionally required. Altogether, the visual outputs create a solid, complete picture of these magnificent hospitality properties that made a marketing strategy available months before the construction was completed.

Lancastrian Suite
THE BRIEF
This much loved and much utilised premises underwent a huge re-design and upgrade to a multi-use function room complete with cutting edge lighting rig design. We were requested to produce an all-encompassing visual report of the interior and exterior spaces paying specific attention to the exterior lighting design which was colour changeable.
THE SOLUTION
CG Still Imagery
Using our vast asset library, we were able to quickly set out the interior setting with relative ease, leaving most of the time to reflect accurately the specialist lighting effects. For the exterior we once again were able to give the client a choice of coloured lighting impressions in a matter of hours rather than days due to the advanced postproduction technique, allowing us to keep our costs extremely competitive yet at the same time delivering considered and accurate renders.
THE RESULTS
The exterior images inspired the client to further their thoughts on continuing the colour changing neon themes to other projects in their portfolio. 3D modelling software has become so usable that even major changes to the design may not impact on the creation time of the visual imagery at all. Space VR feels confident in giving its clientele a continuing advancing level of imaginative and cost effective visual outputs.

28 North Terrace
THE BRIEF
Our client procured a new office to their café catering business and needed CG still images for design agreement and marketing opportunities.
THE SOLUTION
CG Still Images
For an added level of realism, we decided to composite 3D modelling and lighting of the new property design onto a photograph taken of the site. This is beneficial as we then don’t have to model the surrounding buildings and roads, and the clients appreciate the reduced financial implications of this method.
THE RESULTS
As the unit would be open for most of the day, we were asked to give two visual representations of the view, during the day, and what to expect when viewing the property in the evening. Due to advancements in our modelling and lighting software we were able to produce the first daytime image, then adjust the lighting and environment in real time post-production to produce the second evening image without having to re-render, something that can take many hours.

Redhurst Hotel
THE BRIEF
With their broadening portfolio of traditional Scottish hotels, our client wanted CG imagery for design appreciation and marketing opportunities.
THE SOLUTION
CG Still Imagery
As the client opted for a rapid turnaround for visual representation, we opted for CG still imagery as that process is more controllable in terms of production time and the amount of modelling and lighting required.
THE RESULTS
For hospitality visuals we know that creating atmosphere is key for telling a successful story. The evening images being particularly successful demonstrating a luxurious environment with hot tubs and fire pits, and a sumptuous master bedroom.
