Rough Questionnaire to send to those who work in / know about the field
- Do you believe that using signs of occupation in a 3D visualisation makes it more believable? Y/N and Why box
- Tick one of the following two methods that you think makes a 3D visualisation more believable :
- use of objects in a space to show that the space is occupied (without actually using people).
- Use of images of people in a space to show that the space is occupied.
- Do you think that clients would like to see images of their proposed building showing what your building may look like in use five or ten years from now? Y/N and why box
- Do you think that 3D visualisations are more effective than 3D card/wood models for showing clients what their building will look like when constructed? Y/N and why box
- Which method of visualisation do you think that clients prefer: [Why box after this question]
- Card/Wood model
- 3D Visualisation prints/walk-throughs
- They like both
- How important is it to clients that 3D visualisations are photo-realistic? Not important 1 to 4 extremely important
- How important is it to clients that 3D visualisations are believable? Not important 1 to 4 extremely important
- Which do you think is more important. (Tick only one.)
- The photo-realism of the scene due to the quality of the model, materials used and the rendered output.
- The believability of the scene due to the additional elements added such as objects, people etc.
- What do you think makes high standard architectural visualisation stand out? (comment box.)
- Do you think that the following things have value in a scene in terms of its believability?
- Wear & Tear Y / N
- Clutter in peoples lives Y / N
- Graphitti Y / N
- How do you feel about adding provocative elements like these into your work? [Comments box]
- Do you think that a 3D Visualiser is obliged to make allowances for what people may do to the building during its life? Y/ N [why box]
- Should the 3D Visualiser be concerned with the mutability of the use of the building? Y/ N [why box]
I need to assess whether the questions are worth knowing the answers to before committing to them.
[update] I have re-read them several times and altered the wording in places. I think a second opinion during tutorial will seal it. Once they are ok I’m going to post the questions onto Survey Monkey.com and send a link to the groups I’ve joined on LinkedIn.com most of the people in the groups are either working in the field or are students wanting to. So they are appropriate people to ask these questions.
[update2] The tutorial raised some nice extra questions (10 to 12). I’m going to check the wording finally as I put them into the online questionnaire system.
