From large scale event design to project design renderings, Lumen & Forge excels at creating synergy between creativity and technical application.
Lumen & Forge provides comprehensive Event & Project Design services using industry leading CAD, 3D Modeling and Rendering tools—transforming initial concepts into build-ready layouts.Â
This critical first step in any creative technology project involves a collaborative process, working with both existing and to-be created spaces to precisely integrate advanced technology. By modeling and designing spaces for accurate estimating, fabrication, and development, stakeholders can visualize the final product through photorealistic renderings and animations—ensuring alignment, setting clear expectations, and enabling an iterative design process.
3D rendering transforms concepts into photorealistic visuals by combining precise modeling, detailed texturing, and advanced lighting techniques. The process typically starts with creating a virtual 3D model, followed by adding materials and lighting to simulate real-world conditions. High-powered software then calculates how light interacts with these elements, producing lifelike images or animations. This iterative workflow allows for adjustments and refinements, ensuring the final output accurately reflects the intended design and storytelling vision.
3D image rendering is one of the most popular uses for 3D modeling and computer graphics. It allows you to create photorealistic images that are sure to impress clients and/or donors.
3d image rendering uses software such as Cinema 4D and Octane Render to convert information from a 3d model into a photorealistic image render.
There are many photorealistic renderings created for different reasons, but they all have one thing in common – they create a vision of something that doesn’t exist yet. This is incredibly valuable when you’re creating an event design and looking to convey the look and feel without having to build or hire model makers to do it.
Render compositing can make the render seem more realistic by combining it with a real picture or Google Earth scan. The render acts as an extension of the original photo, bringing it to life in a way that was not possible without render compositing. Our event design composites use photographs or Google Earth imagery to show you exactly what your activation will look like on location.
At Lumen and Forge, our render compositing services deliver high resolution images for digital presentations. With render compositing, we deliver accurate visualizations in real world settings.
There are many additional elements beyond the structure and the dome projection technology that go into producing an event with an immersive dome venue. These critical elements include anchoring and ballasting, decking, flooring, heating, cooling, power generation, installation and more. We offer turn-key solutions to make sure your event and venue has everything it needs to be successful from top to bottom. With such a broad range of options and needs, L&F can assist and plan the foundation of your immersive event and ensure a flawless deployment.
In addition to fabricating custom geodesic fabricated domes, our team can also create custom inflatable domes, like we did for the world’s largest projection dome in Miami and Atlanta, which we had custom built in an oblong shape. Our team is highly skilled in custom dome fabrication and we can create any size or shape dome you need.
Adding video to your website, promotional material, social media postings and other mediums is a novel approach to generate a “WOW” factor for your project. This video would dynamically highlight the aesthetic, scale and functionality of a project while showcasing its surrounding environment. Our video renders are done from accurately calculated dimensions, allowing us to produce video that is accurate and true to scale.
As 3D animation using CAD software becomes more common, video is now being used as a way to market architectural projects and upcoming events. In lieu of video animation, enthusiasts are turning to video renderings to bring video to life. A video rendering can be a video of any length, from a few seconds to a full video advertisement.
Visualizing your event is the first step toward making it come to life. And with Lumen and Forge’s 3D event rendering services, that process has never been easier or more accessible. Our visualizations and renderings let you see the big picture (literally), putting your event design on display before anything else — which means you can make the necessary changes in the early stages of the process, saving you time and money later.
With event design, our 3d artists to capture the vision behind your event and develop it into a concept illustration or presentation model. The event renderings are then used by designers, marketers and project managers alike as a tool to convey the look and feel of what the event will be like.
Not only do we supply the tech and equipment for an event, but we can handle everything involved in putting on a great show. We have a team of highly talented audio-visual technicians who are experts at making any event spectacular. In addition to providing top-notch equipment and technical support, they are also skilled at handling logistics and keeping everything running smoothly. And of course, we also have a team of skilled VJs who are adept at creating visually stunning displays that will keep your guests entertained throughout the entire event.
At Lumen and Forge, we also create detailed technical drawings for your product or event design. Because if you want to sell your concept, the most important factor is the details. We make technical 3D drawings so we can show clients exactly what they will get, and also use them for planning and approval purposes.
These technical diagrams consist of cad drawings like building layouts , cabling diagrams, technical schematics , material lists, winch deck layouts and technical drawings in general. For added accuracy, we can take our conceptual 3D renders and turn them into to technical drawings that can be used at the approval phase. We use software such as Rhino, AutoCAD and Solidworks to create schematic drawings that enable you to meticulously plan the logistics of your project.
Product visualization is an exciting new application for 3D modeling. It combines the latest rendering technology with computer graphics to help you see your product before it’s produced, saving development time and money by minimizing prototype iterations. The 3D model serves as the basis for all future stages of manufacturing, so proper visualization results in lower production costs and fewer errors.
