   where can I find how much it costs to make a 3d walk through of my house?
  Im interested in doing this.Where can I find out how much it will cost me to get a professional company/person to do this?THX 
  I do some realtime quarry mine walkthroughs for my client, with collision, obstruction and lighting analysis.For an average mine, I have to charge about €4000 - not because it is extremely difficult but because it takes almost two week''s work full-time.I would think that modeling a house is conceptually similar, and so would be the cost; however the actual price is fully dependent of the detail level (and therefore the amount of work).Sorry, I have my hands full of work, so I can''t be hired right now -NikPS. And do check other prices, our range may not be the cheapest (but my work is of professional precision to justify the price). ;  I could model it for you in Unreal  (I''m only half serious here)Out of intrest though:Do you have plans and such you could provide?What about textures? Would you have them take photos (or provide photos), or just make it up? ;quote:Original post by Andrew Russell   I could model it for you in Unreal  (I'm only half serious here) Unreal is quite good at very rapid room prototyping, however the modeler isn't very precise (though the format itself can be).For professional architectural modeling, I recommend AutoCAD and 3D Studio Max.- and back to the original topic -A house can have practically infinite details, from lamp models to tapestry designs and floor patterns. If the modeler surfs around to find info on every little aspect of the original design, that takes enormous amounts of time, and as we know, time correlates almost linearly to money in context of business -NikEDIT: Quarries are much easier to model (at least for me), because the actual site does not usually even exist at time of the modeling, therefore giving me much "artistic freedom" in cosmetic details.    [edited by - Nik02 on February 7, 2004 6:15:27 AM];  thanx for the repliesbut could someone please recommend a site or company where I could get more details on quality of work and pricing. Im in a situation where I dont know enough  of 3D modelling/walkthrough. I need to see what is possible and its associated price.THX ;  Look for an architect... they should be able to help you. ;  My dad wanted me to model the yard a few years back. We took the measurements with a laser range-finder, but never actualy made the model. Although I did do a pool design of his with POV-Ray.Architects do this all the time, though. The software they use costs a packet, though. Perhaps if you know of one, you could talk to them (or just email any old one out of the blue).(edit: MrBeaner beat me to it)On the other hand I have seen quite a few house-3D-visualisation software peices about the place. Usualy fairly cheep (but not particularly great quality).

I used to make accurate Quake I levels of my friends houses, down to every object. You can do it with just about anything..or WorldCraft.  shortcurves.com | /josh
