In a typical architectural office, the method of modeling you choose often depends on the comfort level of those performing the work. You should, however, familiarize yourself with all three methods to have a variety of tools options.

There is no right or wrong way of creating 3D presentations and the last thing you want to do is to rely on only one method of modeling scenes. In the real world, you will use a combination of methods.

Think of it as buying a large set of mechanics tools. You get several cabinets (software packages), each with several drawers (menus and panels). Each drawer is filled with unusual tools (commands and modifiers). Until you familiarize yourself with as many tools as possible and have a feel for where they are and when best to use them, there is no way you can fix a car in a productive and cost-effective manner.

Even though you have the tools to model incredible detail, however, keep in mind that not all detail has to be modeled. Most 3D programs have the tools to create the illusion of 3D geometry when none exists and a productive office must know when it is appropriate to simulate complex geometry instead of modeling it.

Some 3D tools for simulating geometry are:

Bump Mapping

Opacity Mapping

Environmental Backgrounds

A couple of helpful books for anyone creating buildings and everyday household objects are the student or professional versions of Architectural Graphics Standards by Ramsey/Sleeper (John Wiley and Sons) and The Architect’s Portable Handbook by Pat Guthrie. For years the professional version of Architectural Graphics Standards has been the bible for architects and builders as a reference for the determining sizes of almost everything you can imagine from restaurant equipment, to sports field layout, to standard construction methods.

One of the difficulties in building an online business is learning how to convert your prospects into buyers. In this article I am going to discuss some ways that you can increase your conversion rates.

Market research

The first step to creating any product is to make sure that you have done some research so that you have eliminated as much risk as possible in terms of nobody actually wanting your product.

Have a look online at what is already selling and what people are demanding. If there are people willing to spend money and they are already spending money in a particular niche then that is an ideal place for you to start.

Think about the types of products that are doing well and how you can produce something similar but has additional value to the existing products.

Targeting customers

The next important thing is to make sure that you promote your product to those specific people who actually need it. You could have a brilliant product but if you promote it to people who have no interest in your particular topic and don’t actually need it then you won’t make many sales.

Therefore you need to find out where your ideal customer is likely to be hanging out online. Once you have discovered where your target customers are you will then need to form a relationship with them.

Building relationships

Building relationships with your targeted audience is really important if you are going to increase your sales conversions. If you think about it, promoting products online is a little bit like cold calling – you don’t know the people, they don’t know you and therefore it is unlikely they will do business with you. Therefore it is essential that you build a relationship so that your prospects begin to trust you and to see you as an expert in your particular niche.

An ideal way to build relationships is through email marketing. If your prospects become a subscriber then you are able to communicate with them regularly and over time develop strong trusting relationships.

Product Promotion

When you come to actually promote your product the best way to do this so that you see a good conversion rate is to make your subscribers aware of the benefit it will have to then if they purchase it. People buy because they want to see a specific result and having a result makes them feel good.

Therefore when you promote your product you need to know exactly what those results will be for your prospects and then you will be able to convey the benefits far more effectively.

The Institute for Software Research (ISR) in the Carnegie Mellon School of Computer Science (SCS) is a center for education and research in software engineering and computation. The Insititute’s research areas in software engineering include software analysis, software architecture specification, and aspects of cybersecurity.

The team responsible for videography at the Institute for Software Research in Carnegie Mellon School of Computer Science usually records presentations, small meetings, and lectures with the help of Panopto CourseCast. This software is broadly used for capturing multiple video data and its automatical streaming over the web. The remote audience can access the content as it becomes available in popular and easy-to-consume formats. CourseCast recorder installed on PC saves the lectures and other materials uploading them on the website. The target audience can watch the previously recorded content using NetID and password.

The Institute’s team that used this software to capture video stream from PC suddenly came across the following issue. Thomas Pope of the institute says, “Most of the time we were able to use the recorder itself on a presenter’s computer, on conditions that it was a Windows machine. However we deal with different tasks. Sometimes the educational content that is created must include some videos and images from computers running under Linux or Mac. That is why we were looking for a way to capture screens from these machines just like from a PC.”

The Panopto experts helped Pope to solve this problem. The Institute team was recommended to use the VGA2USB LR frame grabber. “Frame grabber has been used successfully with Panopto software.” Pope recalls. “We decided to take advantage of this product since Panopto software was compatible with frame grabbers. Now we are able to capture and broadcast lectures, presentations, and other instructional content using video streams either from PC, Mac or Linux machines. VGA2USB LR’s capability to be incorporated into the existing environment empowers us to capture data from multiple video sources while preparing diverse education materials”.

VGA to USB is an external video capture device allowing a user to capture video with resolution up to 1280×1024. Since it transfers video in original quality with high resolution from any equipment with VGA connectors, educational centers and other organizations can use it for capturing data. Recording meetings and other events, delivering presentations over the web, creating online educational programs – you can benefit from a high-performance frame-grabber in multiple ways.
