Tools for interesting and beautiful presentation of data

Information is absorbed better if it is presented in a more memorable form than just a set of numbers and letters. If you want to quickly create beautiful infographics for your website or work with a more massive amount of data.

Quadrigram

A beautiful service with three “levels” of visualization - from very simple graphs and tables to complex diagrams with heat maps, polygons, 3D networks, and so on. The big plus is that the infographics will look quite unique - these are not templates with icons, but rather a set of tools. The service is well suited for “serious” infographics with a lot of numbers - if you need to design something complex and show dynamics, you should pay attention to Quadrigram.

TimelineJS

An interesting way to present information is using a timeline. TimelineJS is an open source project that allows you to build interactive timelines and embed them on your website. Everything works extremely simply - a Google Spreadsheet is created with all the data divided into columns, then the service needs to provide a link and it will create a timeline from the table. TimelineJS loads information from many sources, including Twitter, Flickr, Google Maps, YouTube, Vimeo, Vine, Wikipedia and so on.

Price: free

Infogram

Suitable for creating simple infographics from templates. It’s impossible to place a lot of information in this form, but the templates look nice. Ready-made infographics can be embedded on your website. The information in it can be compiled in real time if a data source is connected to it.

A free account comes with a limited set of functions - about 30 types of charts, import of XLS, XLSX, CSV and online posting of infographics. The downside is that the templates are already somewhat boring and are unlikely to cause a wow effect.

Price: free, premium available ($18 and $50)

Ease.ly

Probably the simplest and most popular of all infographic services. If you need to do something quickly, you can take a free template and just type in numbers and some text. It is unlikely that it will be possible to do anything more complex.

Price: free

Visual.ly

Another popular visualization service. In addition to infographics, the service also offers the development of marketing campaigns - they make videos, presentations, and so on on a turnkey basis for companies. An interesting service is the creation of micro-content aimed at greater virality, such as a 6-second video for Vine, a bright image for Pinterest or Instagram, and so on.

Price: depending on content type

Tableau

Using Tableau, you can create interactive infographics using a large amount of information. The Wall Street Journal loves the service. The thing about Tableau Public is that once someone publishes their visualization, it becomes available to everyone on the network.

Price: Tableau Public is free, there are paid versions of Professional Edition ($1,999), Personal Edition ($999)

Scrapple

If you like mind maps, then you may like this alternative to the usual "mind maps". Scrapple helps you visualize any type of connections and is more like a text editor for images.

Price: there is a free trial, the program itself costs $15

Qlik

The platform is suitable for analyzing business information - finance, IT, marketing, sales and so on. Solutions are divided by industry, from retail to biotechnology. Everything looks pretty nice - reports turn from boring numbers into dynamic panels. Among the advantages are the Russian language, cross-platform and intelligent search. According to the company itself, their indexing engine “allows you to uncover all the relationships between data dimensions and gain insights that would remain hidden using traditional hierarchical query-based data models.”

Price: free version available

The profession of a visualizer is a creative work, which usually begins as a hobby, and then completely fills our entire professional activity. This is one of the most promising professions today. After all, we work miracles: we turn black and white drawings into real photographs or videos; dry script into an exciting game or cartoon.

Let's talk about all the programs that we use to create a project.

  1. AutoCAD, as a rule, it is in this program that the drawings are created, which are received by visualizers as a task. It’s not worth going too deep into the study of this program, unless of course you are preparing technical documentation. It is enough to be able to draw a line around the future building for subsequent import into 3ds Max and perform simple actions with the file (save, open, export).

  1. Revit or ArchiCAD- many create architecture in these programs, and then export the models to 3ds Max for subsequent processing and visualization. These programs are optional; buildings and structures can be modeled in 3ds Max itself.

  1. Beloved by all of us 3ds Max, the highlight of the program. This is a basic program that needs to be studied thoroughly and constantly monitored for new features. In this program you can create models, architecture, characters, and make animation, as well as texture and visualize objects, giving them realism. In addition, to work professionally in 3ds Max, you need to learn a large number of plugins that simplify your work and make the result more realistic.

  1. So, we have created a model in 3ds Max, now we need to finalize it. Programs can help us here Mudbox And Zbrush. These are programs for modeling high-poly digital sculptures and texture coloring of models. Using these programs (we choose one, you can read a review of them in the article on our website) you can add all kinds of folds, abrasions, etc. directly to the geometry of the model. It’s also easy to unwrap the model for further texturing.

  1. We create plants using SpeedTree. It is a powerful toolkit used to create 3D animated plants and trees for games, animation, visual effects and architectural rendering.

  1. We create and edit seamless textures in Photoshop and various plugins that are installed in PS, for example, Quixel dDO designed to automate common texturing tasks. Bitmap2Material- a tool for creating full-fledged seamless materials (normal maps, height maps, specular maps and others) from any raster images. This is a separate program.

  1. We have come to a rather complex, but very interesting task - texturing the model. You can draw textures in Photoshop. But you can use a more convenient and innovative program for 3D artists Substance Painter. This is a powerful program for creating procedural materials for 3D models, with export support for programs such as Photoshop, 3ds Max, Maya, Modo and Unity, in which you can customize materials directly in Realtime.

  1. Now you can use Substance Designer- a powerful tool for creating, editing and processing complex textures. The program is used for texturing assets and for baking various information about the model, for example, for baking normal maps, displacement and other things.

  1. Marmoset Toolbag- a small, convenient and full-fledged material editor and tool for quickly presenting three-dimensional models in real time, makes it possible to easily and effectively display models, sets of textures and animations. This way you can check the quality of the model and materials.

  1. To visualize the project and create materials, rendering programs are required. Currently the most common are Corona Renderer And V-Ray, which divided visualizers into two camps. We will not discuss the advantages and disadvantages of these visualizers; we will do this in a separate article. Follow our news.
  1. To create real-time visualizations you can use UnrealEngine- here you can create both architectural visualization and games.

If you want to master all the programs listed above and create a professional, high-quality project, we invite you to attend!

In the current era of information technology, few Clients approve the design of an event based only on a verbal description. It's no secret that the agency receives an additional 20% of votes only if it has a visualized idea. More recently, to visualize their ideas, agencies hired professional 3D designers who created a model of the space to demonstrate to the Client his future event. Obviously, this was quite an expensive pleasure, and such expenses were justified only on very large projects. In most cases, we made do with collages in Photoshop or hand-drawn sketches. Now, thanks to technological progress, many visualization programs have become not only free, but also accessible to any event manager.

We have made a selection of the most popular programs used by event industry specialists.

Space modeling programs

AutoCAD

A program known among architects, engineers and designers. It is not so easy to learn, so it is not actively used among event managers. Nevertheless, many professional event industry designers work there.

AutoCAD has a very convenient system of additional software modules, and it is these modules, created taking into account the needs of event organizers, that make it popular in our business. In addition, many stage and technical equipment companies offer free libraries of pre-built objects representing their entire product line. Thus, an engineer from a technical company can completely create the entire technical project of an event on a computer. After this, the designer will add decorations and arrange furniture - and the picture is ready.

Allows you to create technically accurate drawings and very realistic illustrations.

– Difficult to learn; high cost of the program.

There are AutoCAD options for Windows and Mac.

Google SketchUp

The release of this program revolutionized computer 3D design. Thanks to the intuitive technology for constructing three-dimensional elements and a series of perfectly prepared video tutorials, after just a couple of hours of using the program, anyone can create sketches that look quite professional. It was this simplicity that enabled Google to make full use of a tool like Crowedsourcing for the first time: anyone who created a model could put it into the World Library. This idea has made available to us hundreds of millions of different objects already created by other people.

The program is free; very easy to learn; huge library of models; allows you to make simple animations and show the scene from different points.

– Despite acceptable technical accuracy, it does not allow the creation of drawings or layout plans; the end result is always similar to a drawing; The professional appearance of the resulting illustrations still does not allow us to call them photorealistic - these are sketches, albeit of very high quality.

There are options for Windows and Mac, as well as a paid version of Google SketchUp Pro.

Specialized visualization programs

Vivien

An intuitive program designed specifically for event industry employees. It is convenient for visualizing future events and has a complete set of what is needed for this.

Programs for visualizing light patterns and special effects

They allow lighting designers to write out a “lighting” program for a concert or event on a computer, show it to the customer, adjust it and approve it. Unfortunately, this practice is quite popular in the West, but has not yet become so in our country. Nevertheless, there is something to strive for... Moreover, even judging by the latest interview with the popular singer Zemfira, who is always very scrupulous about her shows, we do not have enough professional lighting designers: “... I want to find a cool lighting designer. The Russian world is poor. You can immediately recognize it if you turn off the sound and look at the picture. It hurts me. And the lighting market is empty. I tried to find someone for two years: there are light workers at some rental offices serving City Days and Retro FM discos. And for the group to have a lighting director who thinks artistically, who comes up with a concept, who helps the song during a concert - there is nothing like that in this country at all...” (Zemfira: “I need silence”, COLTA.RU)

These programs include:

WYSIWYG

The name of this program is an abbreviation of the English expression What You See Is What You Get, which translates as “what you see is what you get.” This package has the widest possible capabilities. Since it is developed by the same company as the Vivien program, they work perfectly together. Having created the space for the event, arranging the furniture and decorations, you can transfer the file to the lighting designer, and he will carry out all the necessary work directly on the computer, which would have required several dozen hours of lighting rehearsal on the site.

Huge libraries with all possible devices; the ability to work directly from the light control panel; ability to import from other programs.

– Very high price; requires professional skills of a lighting designer; only in English.

The WYSIWYG program gets along well with both Windows and MAC systems.

LIGHTCONVERSE 3 D SHOW PLATFORM

This, as the name suggests, is not even one program, but a whole series of packages created on one platform. You can choose what you need to implement specific details of the project. In addition to solving the lighting designer's problems, the package also allows you to visualize the operation of various video screens, pyrotechnic effects, laser graphics, stage machinery and much more. The 3D visualizer reproduces in real time and with a high degree of realism a light image similar to a real video image, taking into account the parameters of lighting devices, the parameters and texture of the room, including furniture and architectural lighting.

In the past, architects, using professional ink pens called rapidographs, created unique construction projects on special inclined boards installed vertically at an angle. Such painstaking work required maximum care, patience and perfect accuracy in calculations. The era of global computerization has allowed us to take a different look at activities in the field of visual design. Interior visualization programs have marked a breakthrough in the field of architectural design, making life easier for millions of professionals around the world.

The review is dedicated to the three most popular 3-D design software products. The list contains programs for interior modeling and visualization that are widely used among professionals:
  • Cinema 4D;
  • Google SketchUp;
  • 3Ds Max.

The user is given a choice: or, after evaluating the characteristics of the presented programs, create their own unique projects.

Popular package for animation and 3D graphics production

The most attractive for Russian designers is the universal interior package, the Cinema 4D program from the leading manufacturer for creating three-dimensional animation, graphics and other special effects - MAXON Computer GmbH. The benefits of the product have been appreciated by millions of users:
  • has a simple accessible interface;
  • stores a wide variety of “blanks” that allow you to use ready-made animations, built-in images, advanced shaders, rather than creating objects from scratch;
  • has built-in Russified support;
  • Can work with third party renderers. The most popular is Cinema 4D Vray - a universal rendering system that has proven itself in all areas of professional visualization;
  • There are 10 additional modules: simulation of the dynamics of soft and hard bodies, control of particles using a node system, formation of volumetric (volumetric) effects (sun rays, dust, rain) and others. The system has excellent compatibility with third-party programs such as Adobe After Effects, ArchiCad.

Cinema 4D is the best program for interior visualization, according to experts from various fields of professional design, architecture and construction design.





Google ScketchUp - modeling simple 3D objects

The program for creating interior visualization, coupled with the Google ScketchUp Vray render, allows you to quickly and efficiently design three-dimensional building objects, furniture and other elements in the design of premises.
Excellent for visualizing objects in architecture, outdoor advertising, landscape design, engineering design, as well as for modeling objects for printing on a 3D printer.
The main disadvantage is the limited solution to more complex problems, in which it is difficult or impossible:

  • build models with complex structural elements;
  • give natural curvature to objects;
  • create reliable detail.

The Google ScketchUp system is not suitable for working with large and energy-intensive projects. Looking at the result obtained, it is easy for a specialist to understand which program is used to visualize the interior; for example, the appearance of the shadows looks unnatural. It is also impossible to manipulate raster textures. There are no tools for fully creating animation.




Autodesk 3ds Max - a modern tool for multimedia professionals


For designers studying programs for interior visualization, experts recommend the popular software that allows you to create accurate scene visualization systems 3Ds Max Vray. Embedded Vray rendering is not included in the standard 3Ds Max package.
Features of the system include editing and creating professional animation and three-dimensional graphics in the production of films, games, animation, and videos. The program is focused on the design of complex architectural objects. It contains many useful tools:

  • photorealistic visualizer;
  • tools for adjusting illumination and detailed analysis of three-dimensional objects;
  • additional modules for creating realistic special effects: explosions, water splashes and much more;

Considering the disadvantages, it should be noted that the design and visualization of the interior in the program is quite slow. To create complex volumetric structures you will need high-tech hardware. Some novice users complain about the difficulty in mastering the program, but this product is not intended to work with typical elementary tasks. The interior visualization programs reviewed in the article are necessary for the effective work of professional designers and designers.
