Do you guys need any help with photorealistic 3D visualization? I can help with that

hey @abdobelk thank you
excuse my ignorance, i just knew about Photorealistic 3D visualization yesterday from @Sofien-Dahem while we were discussing business opportunities for local artists with @islem and @matthias . This seem like a great tool to connect local artists with global market. Not sure how I can use this now myself but indeed this will keep me thinking of using this concept one day in my life

Guys this is looking dope. Really like the clean design. Reminds me a bit of the work my students did as part of our class on design for social and demographic change - different situation and context, but I liked their participatory approach in having people who would use the stuff also build it.

@HadeerGhareeb, you’re welcome! Glad to help

@m_tantawy, thank you Here is how I can help with 3D visualization:

To obtain better results, it’s better to have schematic files (blueprints with measures), so I can create the models and do the renders. Otherwise if you have the models already made, I can use them to create the visualization for you.

I’ll be waiting to hear what you think!
