IFC/BIM to animation
BIM Visualisation & Animation
Visualising Architecture Directly from BIM Models
At Arcolana, we specialise in BIM-first visualisation and animation, working directly from BIM and 3D models to create accurate and reliable architectural visuals.
Our process is built around architectural data, not simplified geometry. By working directly with Revit, Archicad, IFC, Rhino, and SketchUp models, we ensure that every visual output remains consistent with the design intent, spatial logic, and technical constraints of the project.
What We Do
We transform BIM and 3D models into:
-
Photorealistic interior and exterior visualisations
-
Walkthrough and fly-through animations
-
Phasing and process animations
-
Presentation and marketing videos for architectural projects
These visuals support projects throughout design development, competitions, client presentations, and approvals.
From 2D Documentation to BIM-Based Visuals
In cases where BIM models are not yet available, we also support projects starting from 2D drawings.
Our team can:
-
interpret architectural plans and sections
-
develop a BIM model as a project foundation
-
use the model consistently for visualisation and animation
This ensures a single, coordinated source of information throughout the visual production process.
