Providing VR assets as part of an architectural visualization project is gradually becoming the norm. We’ve seen a few solutions before, and today I’m showcasing a new one by Biganto, called Virtoaster. Exciting features to consider are the overall 3d model explorer (open scale model style) and customizable interactive hotspots.

Biganto is an ArchViz Studio and a Digital Solutions supplier for developers, architects, designers, and CG artists. They are best known for creating interactive tours of large scale, such as Rumyantsevo Park, the “Making of” posted here a couple of years ago.
