3ds Max Script: Verified Views for planning application

This unique new tutorial takes users through the step-by-step process of creating an entire new Verified View Accurately, with one click of a button, using this Amazing New 3ds Max script.

Within less than one second, this amazing new script Automatically and Simultaneously creates accurate survey points in the scene, based on the surveyor’s information.

With one simple click, this new 3ds max script, will save users countless hours of work per verified view, or days, if working on multiple camera views.

Creating verified views for planning applications has never been easier, quicker and more accurate. 

Key 3ds Max Script features instantly/automatically created simultaneously with one click:

1-Accurately creates and places the survey point coordinates in the 3ds Max scene instantly using/sourcing the data from the surveyor and the photographer’s data spreadsheet.

2- Accurately creates and places the physical camera in the 3ds Max scene instantly using/sourcing the data from the surveyor and the photographer’s data spreadsheet.

3- Accurately creates and places the daylight system in the 3ds Max scene instantly using/sourcing the data from the surveyor and the photographer’s data spreadsheet.  

4- Accurately creates, names and places the physical camera in the 3ds Max scene instantly using/sourcing the data from the surveyor and the photographer’s data spreadsheet.

5- Accurately sets up the render Output Size and padlocks it based on the background image size instantly using/sourcing the data from the surveyor and the photographer’s data spreadsheet.

6- Automatically enables the “Show Safe Frames” functionality and inserts the camera viewport background image being directly sourced from the "images" folder.

7-And much more…

Key Notes:

The 3ds Max script requires two separate spreadsheet files in order to instantly generate the entire scene with accurate survey points, physical camera, background image, daylight system, etc:

1-One spreadsheet file with survey coordinates

2-Another spreadsheet file with the scene settings.

The spreadsheet file formats need to be *.csv, otherwise the 3ds Max script will generate errors when running.

The folders and file names cannot have spaces between the words. Use underscores instead. Otherwise, the 3ds Max script will generate errors when running.  

The surveyor’s spreadsheet file with survey coordinates needs to be in the same folder as the 3ds Max script.   

The spreadsheet csv file named “settings” needs to be in separate folder named “settings”.

The background viewport image needs to be in separate folder named “images”.

There can only be one main spreadsheet csv file in the main Folder/Directory named “settings” for the script to reference from.

Key Aspects of Verified Views

"Verified Views" are distinct from standard artistic photomontages due to a rigorous, data-driven process: 

• Survey Data: The process involves a professional surveyor recording the exact camera location, height, lens details, GPS data, and specific key points in the physical environment.
• Accurate 3D Model Alignment: This survey data is used to accurately align a detailed 3D model of the proposed development within the real-world photograph, ensuring correct scale, perspective, and spatial relationships.
• Council Compliance: This methodology ensures the final image is a robust and defensible representation of the proposed development, which is often a key requirement for local authorities when assessing visual impact. 

Companies work with architects, developers, and planning consultants to produce the necessary documentation to aid in securing planning approvals.
