## Services
### 3D Architectural Walkthrough Animation Services
URL: https://100cgi.com/services/3d-walkthrough-services/
A 3D walkthrough turns a floor plan into a film of the finished space, shot at eye level the way someone actually moves through a building. We build it from your CAD or Revit, add AI voiceover and a 4K cinematic edit, and deliver the kind of film that wins a tender before a brick is laid. Setup and the first 60 seconds of 4K cost 2,500 pounds, and your estimate lands within 1 hour.

### Architectural Visualization
URL: https://100cgi.com/services/architectural-visualization/
Turn blueprints into pre-sold properties. We create photorealistic exterior CGI that helps developers secure planning permits and drives early-stage sales. Our visuals bridge the gap between architectural concepts and emotional buyer connection. Architectural CGI starts at £700 per view, with your estimate within 1 hour.

### CGI 360 Virtual Tours
URL: https://100cgi.com/services/360-virtual-tours/
A CGI 360 virtual tour lets someone walk through a space that does not exist yet, in a browser, on any device. Not a Matterport scan of a finished room, a photoreal tour built from your drawings, so you can sell off-plan, win approvals and show a scheme before a brick is laid. Most of our virtual tour services are property virtual tours (off-plan homes, offices and hotels) from 1,500 pounds per tour. We built the VR tour for the Siro One Za'abeel project in Dubai this way.

### Office & Commercial Interior Rendering
URL: https://100cgi.com/services/office-3d-visualization/
Office 3D visualization is how a design-and-build firm shows a client the finished workplace before the strip-out even starts. We make photoreal office CGI that wins fit-out tenders: stills that turn a floor plan and a mood board into a room the client can already picture working in. The same team handles interior rendering services for commercial space: offices, lobbies, showrooms and amenity floors. London studio, 500+ projects, most of them workplace.

### Virtual Culture
URL: https://100cgi.com/services/virtual-culture/
We transform physical heritage and artistic vision into immersive digital ecosystems. Our virtual culture solutions break geographical boundaries, preserving history and showcasing art through high-fidelity, interactive 3D environments accessible on any modern device.

### Virtual Showroom
URL: https://100cgi.com/services/virtual-showroom/
A virtual showroom is a branded 3D space your customers walk through in a browser, the same idea Amazon is testing with Amazon Beyond for LEGO, Samsung and Star Wars. We build bespoke ones on Babylon.js: a storefront you own and shape around your brand, not a rented template. No headset, no app, just a link. Call it a virtual showroom, an online showroom or a digital showroom; the job is the same, a place your buyers can walk, not scroll.

## Guides and articles
### Online Showroom: What It Is, Platform vs Custom Build, and Costs
URL: https://100cgi.com/blog/online-showroom/
An online showroom is a browser-based 3D space where customers walk your products instead of scrolling a grid. Rent one from a SaaS platform for speed, or commission a custom build you own (ours start around 20,000 pounds). Virtual showroom and digital showroom name the same idea.

### Verified Views and AVRs: What Planning Applications Actually Require
URL: https://100cgi.com/blog/verified-views/
A verified view, or AVR (Accurate Visual Representation), is a planning-grade image of a proposal built from surveyed camera positions to a documented methodology, so a committee can trust what it shows. AVR levels 0 to 3 set the detail, from wireline outline to fully rendered materials.

### 3D Walkthrough vs Flythrough: Which One Sells Your Project
URL: https://100cgi.com/blog/3d-walkthrough-vs-flythrough/
A 3D walkthrough keeps the camera at eye level and walking pace to show what a space is like inside. A flythrough (fly-through) is an aerial camera for context and scale. If the value is inside, walk; if it is outside or above, fly.

### Office Walkthrough Animation: The Asset Most Fit-Out Firms Waste
URL: https://100cgi.com/blog/office-walkthrough-animation/
An office walkthrough animation costs 2,500 to 6,500 pounds and runs about 60 seconds per 500 square metres. Brief it as a year of content, not one pitch file: vertical LinkedIn cuts, a reception loop and hero stills all come from the same 4K master.

### Cat A vs Cat B Office Fit-Out: What to Visualize at Each Stage
URL: https://100cgi.com/blog/cat-a-vs-cat-b-office-visualization/

### What a 3D Walkthrough Is, and When You Actually Need One
URL: https://100cgi.com/blog/what-is-a-3d-walkthrough/
A 3D walkthrough is a film of a space that does not exist yet: built from your drawings, shot at human eye level and walking pace, so the client feels the building instead of reading a plan. For offices it starts at 2,500 pounds, with an estimate within 1 hour.

### What a 3D Walkthrough Actually Costs in the UK
URL: https://100cgi.com/blog/3d-walkthrough-cost-uk/
An office 3D walkthrough costs 2,500 pounds for setup plus the first 60 seconds of 4K, then 1,000 pounds per additional 30 seconds; a two-minute film runs about 5,500 pounds. Per-minute quotes of 6,000 to 20,000 pounds describe broadcast animation, not offices.

Matterport scans what exists; a CGI virtual tour shows what does not yet. A studio that uses both explains which to choose for off-plan and new-build.

### How AI Actually Fits Into a 3D Walkthrough in 2026
URL: https://100cgi.com/blog/ai-3d-walkthrough/
AI earns its place in a 3D walkthrough for voiceover, people and concept passes. The as-designed film still comes off a real 3ds Max, V-Ray and Chaos Vantage pipeline. An AI slideshow of stills with a slow zoom is not a walkthrough.

### What Is a Virtual Store? How 3D Shops Work in 2026
URL: https://100cgi.com/blog/what-is-a-virtual-store/
A virtual store is a 3D shopping environment in a browser: products sit in a designed space you move through, not in a photo grid. Amazon, Walmart and Shopify all run programmes. It sells best for high-consideration goods; get one by renting a platform template or commissioning a build you own.

### What Is a Virtual Storefront? The 3D Front of House, Explained
URL: https://100cgi.com/blog/what-is-a-virtual-storefront/
A virtual storefront is the branded 3D face of a shop online: the window display and entrance, not the whole store. It stops people and routes them inward (or out to your product pages). Smaller and cheaper than a full virtual store, and the common first step into the category.

### What Is a Virtual Tour? Types, Costs and How They Are Made
URL: https://100cgi.com/blog/what-is-a-virtual-tour/
A virtual tour is a walkable view of a space on a screen: linked 360 panoramas or a real-time 3D scene. The key split is captured versus constructed: photograph or scan a space that exists, build a CGI tour of one that does not. CGI tours start at 1,500 pounds and need no headset.

URL: https://100cgi.com/blog/interior-rendering-ultimate-guide/
Interior rendering turns drawings into photoreal images of unbuilt spaces: modelled in 3ds Max, lit, rendered and graded. Quality lives in the lighting and staging, not the GPU. Professional stills run from 700 pounds per view; a single room takes about a week, a full set two to three.

### What Is CGI? Meaning, How It Works, and CGI vs AI in 2026
URL: https://100cgi.com/blog/what-is-cgi/
CGI (computer-generated imagery) is any image or footage made with 3D software instead of a camera. A scene is modelled, textured, lit, rendered and graded. Unlike AI-generated images, CGI is measurably accurate to the drawings, which is why architecture and product marketing run on it.

### What Is 3D Rendering? The Definition and the Buying Guide
URL: https://100cgi.com/blog/what-is-a-3d-rendering/
3D rendering turns a 3D model into a finished image: software simulates light inside a digital scene and computes the photograph a camera would have taken. Buying one takes about a week and starts around 700 pounds per view; the craft lives in the lighting, not the button.
