Elevate Your Ecommerce Studio Design with 3D Tools

In the fast paced world of ecommerce, establishing a productive studio space is vital, and this process starts at the planning stage. Sometimes, traditional 2D design tools come up short, especially when architectural plans need translating at the studio level. They call for a level of expertise in spatial plan interpretation that might not be within every studio team’s skillset.

We list our Top 5 reasons for using 3D design tools for planning ecommerce studios.

We strongly advocate for the use of 3D design tools to enhance the planning process of ecommerce studios. Interpreting 2D plans can result in errors and misconceptions about the proposed designed studio spaces. But 3D Design Tools and Virtual Planning can reduce error and bridge the knowledge gap making a significant time saving and cost impact.

How does a 3D design tool help in planning?

3D Design Tools offering a realistic visualisation of your ecommerce studio before a single physical move is made. Transitioning from 2D to 3D makes objects more tangible and spaces more comprehensible, even for those without a background in design or architecture.

Virtual tools allow real world application

Lets look at a real world example. On a 2D plan, a small circle that represents a supporting pillar, may not stand out to a Senior Photographer as a real barrier to a PDP permanent set build and they may give it the go ahead. But on a 3D planned space, it would be easy to see that a Key Light, with its large footprint of legs, weightbags would not fit into the space and still allow space for a photographer to stand, move and shoot. This may seem trivial but it can be the difference between a great working set or a non-functioning, dead space.

Top 5 Reasons to Use 3D Design Tools for Your Ecommerce Studio

1. Bridge Communication Gaps

Transitioning to 3D design tools bridges communication gaps among team members and clients, thanks to the visual clarity and realistic representation they offer. Your in-house experts become empowered to input on decision making. There is a reduced margin of error with a solid 3D visualisation and easier rounds of feedback.

2. Visualise to Optimise with Virtual Planning

Virtual Studio Planner tools allow a thorough visualisation of studio space, aiding in determining the optimal layout and facilitating smooth workflows. This can be vital to see Product Flows, Rail Access and other ease of use factors.

3. Realistic Renderings, Accurate Planning

The lifelike 3D renderings enable accurate planning and client communication, making the transition from planning to execution seamless. These renders can be shared to relevant Stakeholders without the need of detailed 2D explanations.

4. Industry-Standard Modelling

Incorporating industry-standard equipment in 3D renders creates a familiar and comfortable virtual studio space, aiding managers in finding the perfect layouts. This can also be used as a basis for Kit and Equipment predictions.

5. Experience the Future with VR Integration

The potential for integrating Virtual Reality (VR) takes studio planning to an immersive level, providing an almost tangible feel of the planned studio space.
