EVALUATION FOR 3RD ARTEFACT

From the previous artefact I have learnt that using CGI to visualise is the best method for a customer to accurately visualise the proposed design quickly and them understanding what they are buying into quickly. However client tends to steer towards looking at quick sketches so they can give more input and get the sketcher to sketch out their idea at a much faster and cheaper rate.
But what happens if the customer wants to visualise the design using CGI and has asked for modifications? According to the interior design Mitchell Brewer he tends to give the customer the visualisation around 2-3 days after discussion of design.
This artefact will show if using CGI gives the customer the flexibility it has to give their input towards the design.
How I tested this was by having a fully rendered design of a café but the customer has asked to have the walls changed to flowerily wallpaper and have the floor wood laminated. This took 10 minutes to change which is nothing because all I had to do was upload a few bitmap images (maybe chosen by the customer) and simply changed the original texture to the new one.
Second change, the customer asked to change the furniture to a wooden Victorian style. This took 30 minutes which involved me to completely model the furniture from scratch and texture it. But making multiples of the same furniture in 3D takes no time at all as it’s simply copying and pasting it again on the same scene. This is a big advantage over hand-drawn methods as they have to draw each one out from scratch which is time consuming.
This artefact has proven that using CGI not only gives the customer an accurate understanding of what they are buying but can give the customer the chance to ask for modifications at a quick easy manner.
