Visual Simulation methodology for Summerset Boulcott Retirement Village Photomontages 9 June 2016 pages 1 of 3 Introduction: Refer to photomontage collection Summerset Boulcott Retirement Village Visual Simulation. The 9 positions selected for visual simulations are shown in Dwg VSO1 - Index and view point plan 1. Intention The intention is to show in the selected views the visual effect that the proposed development will have. They are not real life views but rather simulations of a two dimensional view of the proposed activity from the given viewpoints. The degree of accuracy of +/-.05% of output size of image. The final imagery of built forms is not photorealistic but indicates bulk and location with indicative detail only. The survey data supplied is surveyed verified and was sufficient to provide accurate assessment of the buildings and landscaping visible. The steps outlined below describe the process and information used to develop the photomontages. 2. Process Methodology The process follows the guidelines of the NZILA Visual Simulation BPG 10.2 The simulations, created in the form of photomontages, utilise surveying architectural & landscaping information. It involved a series of processes to ensure as accurate as possible impressions of the proposed development within the photomontages. Final images are dependent an accuracy of information supplied. 3. Architectural Information (Summerset Design team & Aurecon) Information supplied included: A digital model of development. Site plan with FFL s, existing and finished site levels. 1
4. Landscape information (Wraight + Associates Landscape Architects and Summerset Design team) Master plan including: planting species and design. Direction re positioning of trees Information regarding scale of the tress. The simulations included versions showing tree specified 5 years = 4 m & 10 years =6m 5. Survey Information Information supplied by Spencer Holmes Surveyors. (Refer attached data) Survey PDF showing the viewpoint positions and R.Ls of the selected locations visible within the photographs used in the Visual Simulations. Surveyed site markers established on site (visible in the photo) Supplementary true scale markers measured and recorded photographically. 6. Site Photographs Site Photos were taken by Stantiall's Studio Ltd. for the development of the visual simulations. The 9 locations were survey verified by the surveyor and recorded on the survey plan. The camera used was a Canon Ixus 115 Digital with a 28 mm lens. Photos were taken between 10.30 am and 2.30 pm, horizontally and on a tripod. 7. Model Development Building models supplied were imported into LIghtwave 3D modeling software. Indicative tree markers based on the landscape plan were placed into the model to provide a guide for proposed planting. These showed maturity to suit the various stages required. 8. Virtual Camera Placement The steps to place the 3D model into the photograph included: Using Lightwave 3D, the digital model is scaled 1:1 and placed into 3D space, then positioned in relation to the site plan and given a height relating to the RL on the site plan. Site markers are then modeled to match those in the photograph, using the height and RL information supplied by the surveyors, and placed into 3D space and positioned in relation to the site plan. 2
A virtual camera is then positioned to match the actual camera plot point on the site plan and given the camera height value based on survey information. Interpolation was used where required The photograph is brought into Lightwave 3D as a background image. The Markers within the 3d model are matched with those in the photograph. Further manual trigonometrical checks are carried out where required. 9. Rendering & compositions 1) A high quality image at the same resolution of the original photograph is then rendered out from Lightwave 3D. 2) Using Photoshop, the 3D model render was placed onto the original photograph 3) The render was then edited to fit into the surroundings, adding foreground elements from the original photograph and placed into their position in front of the 3D model. 4) Lighting and tonal adjustments were made to create a suitable bulk an location graphic appearance 5) Proposed tree planting added based on the indicative tree markers (Refer Model Development above). 10. Consultant Review To finalise and confirm the architectural and landscape detail visible the final content of the photomontages were reviewed by the design consultants. 11. Reading Distances (RD) By viewing the images from a particular distance, the actual scale of the view on site can be represented. This is termed the Reading Distance (RD) and is noted on the photo montages and is dependent on the size of image printed or projected. 3
140618c01 site survey.docx 11 th May 2016 Stantiall Studio PO Box 27 210 Marion Square WELLINGTON 6141 Attention: Ian Stantiall Dear Ian, Boulcott Farm Heritage Golf Club, Lower Hutt We have completed the site survey at Boulcott Farm Heritage Golf Club and surrounding areas. Positions and levels for the points you requested have been surveyed and shown on our attached plans S14-0618-SS1/A & SS2/A. The survey has been completed by GPS and total station observations. Coordinates are in terms of New Zealand Geodetic Datum 2000, Wellington Circuit. Levels are in terms of Mean Sea Level, Wellington Datum 1953. The source of coordinates and levels has been derived by GPS. Coordinates have been checked on to NZGD2000 geodetic survey control marks SP I DP 34946 & SPS II SO 370156. Levels have been checked on to Hutt City Council benchmark C.31. Each surveyed point shows a point number, description and reduced level. The points we have surveyed and shown are: - the points shown on your photographs Control Points 060516.pdf. - viewpoints 1 to 8 - points where a staff has been held for site photographs from viewpoints - extra points as requested. Please contact us if you have any questions or require anything further. Yours faithfully Spencer Holmes Limited Zane Oosten Senior Survey Technician Spencer Holmes Ltd Directors: Associates: Consultant: Jon Devine, Ian Leary, Philip McConchie, Hudson Moody Jo Cushen, Vaughan England, John McNaughton Peter Smith
