What is Unreal Engine for real estate?
Initially developed by Epic Games for the game industry, Unreal Engine is a powerful real-time rendering tool. It has also found its uses in plenty of other industries, including architecture and real estate. Here, Unreal engine enables professionals to get reasonably priced marketing materials that offer an unparalleled degree of immersion, realism, and engagement.
What is real-time rendering?
Real-time rendering is the process used in video games, AR, VR, and special apps to rapidly generate images from a 3D model. This is achieved using a GPU that quickly calculates positions, colors, textures, and other properties of all pixels, based on a defined scene, to create a 2D image. It's called ‘real-time’ because these calculations happen swiftly, often at rates of 30 to 60 frames per second. This creates a smooth experience. The advantage of real-time 3D rendering is that it allows users to interact with the visualization as it is being generated.
How much does it cost to get an Unreal Engine scene created?
The cost of a real estate presentation made in UE depends on the characteristics of your project and the specific features you would like to add. To get a precise estimate, contact our manager via email or phone below.
What do I need to order an Unreal Engine scene for my project?
To order an Unreal Engine scene for real estate, you will need to provide us with comprehensive information about your project. The more details, the better. Your brief may include 3D models, drawings, and references to materials, furniture, decor, outdoor amenities, and landscape features, as well as lighting and general atmosphere. Also, we will ask you to list all the elements that you would like to be interactive, along with a description of their intended functionality.
What is the turnaround time?
The turnaround time for making an Unreal Engine scene for your real estate project can vary greatly based on your particular needs and chosen features. Depending on the project complexity, the duration can range from as short as one week to as long as a few months. For a more precise estimate, please contact our manager using the details below.
Pixel streaming is a technology that allows for high-quality real-time rendering of interactive immersive 3D tours. It enables the streaming of an Unreal Engine application from a cloud or local server to any device with a web browser and an Internet connection.
What equipment is required for using Pixel streaming?
Pixel streaming requires a server with substantial computational power to perform the heavy-duty processing of rendering 3D content. This server can be either local or cloud-based. On the client side, no special hardware is needed as the rendered content is streamed to any device with a web browser. That makes the technology widely accessible.
What will I get as a result if I order Pixel streaming production?
We can provide you with a project folder containing all necessary files, including the .exe file You will be able to run this file on any computer, which will allow you and your clients to explore and interact with your real estate project. If you prefer to host your project on a cloud server, we will assist you with deployment and settings. In this case, it will be possible to open your interactive presentation directly in a browser. It will be streamed from the server, allowing one to view the project using any device connected to the Internet.
How much will I need to pay for the maintenance of my online Pixel streaming immersive tour?
The cost of the online 3D real estate streaming presentation involves a nominal subscription fee for server maintenance. You'll be charged 0.05€ per minute of viewing, and an additional fee of €15 for every 10 simultaneous views.
Let's say over the course of a month, your website was visited by 5,000 users, and each of them interacted with your Pixel streaming presentation for an average of 2 minutes. The maximum number of users interacting with the presentation simultaneously was 198. Based on this, the calculation formula for that month would be: 5,000 users × 2 minutes × €0.05 + 19 additional slots × €15 = €500 + €285 = €785.
Which VR headsets are compatible with the immersive tours you create?
By default, we develop for Oculus. However, upon your request, we can customize the experience for other virtual reality headsets.
