Real-time 3D for urban areas and cultural heritage

Brussels Leopold Area - Montois-Partners Architects

  • Interactive and real-time 3D digital mockup
  • Running on Haeva and Unity3D

This pilot project was developed for the Montois-Partners architecture office in order to use our 3D real-time Haeva technology to aid in the decision-making process by evaluating various versions of a same real-estate project virtually inserted into the european area in Brussels.

The customer gave us the original real-estate's CAD model.  We have then rebuilt the volumes of the neighboring buildings located in the existing place.  The digital mock-up construction phase of the European area took a few time.  We started from 2D plans and aerial photographs and we did on-site visits to collect additional information. 

The goal of Montois-Partners was to visually estimate the volumes of the neighboring buildings and to compare them with the different versions of their real-estate project. Our solution has allowed them to confirm their arguments for the regional authorities in favor of the more profitable version of the real-estate project.  We have still the rights to re-use the digital mock-up for other architecture offices working on the same area.

Brussels Sablon area

  • Immersive digital mockup in real-time 3D
  • Unconstrained virtual tour
  • Running on Haeva and Unity3D

In order to prove our technical skills, we have initiated an internal project consisting in the reconstruction of the touristic Sablon area in Brussels in high-quality and in real-time 3D. This area is known for its old antique dealers, luxury chocolate shops and restaurants. The simulator let you fly around the "Notre-Dame des Victoires" church (a gothic church from the XVth century) and let you navigate in front of typical ancient houses.

Bruges - Beguine convent

  • Immersive digital mockup in real-time 3D
  • Unconstrained virtual tour
  • Running on Haeva

This a reconstruction project where we model an historical area of Bruges next to the canals. The Beguine convent, funded in the XIIIth century and occupied in the past by the beguines, is registered in the Unesco world heritage. We work on this reconstruction with the help of students doing their end study work at our office. Our goal here is to promote a famous and highly touristic place in Belgium. This is also an opportunity to work on technical challenges in real-time such as the canal's water or the grass and the trees in the Beguine convent's park.
