Anderson Street: 360° VR Experience (Case Study)
A detailed look at how we build immersive 360 VR walkthroughs—from plan review and grayscale modelling to photoreal rendering and 360° tour preparation for architectural and property presentations.
Overview
The Anderson Street case study highlights a typical workflow used for 360 VR experiences in architectural visualisation—helping teams communicate spatial flow, finishes, and atmosphere through an immersive 360° view.
If you’re comparing formats, this type of experience is often used alongside photoreal 3D renders, 3D floor plans (if applicable on your site), and architectural walkthrough animations for presentations and marketing-ready assets.

How the 360° VR Walkthrough Was Developed
Below is the end-to-end process used for this project—structured for clarity so architects, builders, and stakeholders can understand what happens at each stage of a 360 VR walkthrough.
1
Initial Consultation
We begin by understanding objectives, audience needs, and the experience requirements for the 360° tour.
2
Plans & Specification Review
Project plans, material specifications, and colour schedules are reviewed to align the visual direction with the design intent.
3
Grayscale 3D Modelling
A grayscale model is developed to confirm composition, key structural elements, and spatial flow before detailing.
4
White Render for View Approval
A white render helps finalise the selected view and camera direction—keeping focus on form and layout.
5
Materials, Lighting & Photoreal Finish
Textures, materials, and lighting are introduced, followed by post-processing such as colour grading and visual refinement.
6
Feedback & Refinements
Updates are applied based on feedback, and versions are shared for review until the output aligns with expectations.
7
360° Tour Build Preparation
Final high-quality renders are prepared and optimised to support smooth 360° viewing across devices and platforms.
8
Final 360° VR Experience
The completed immersive experience is packaged for handover and intended viewing environments.

Where 360 VR Walkthroughs Are Commonly Used
A 360° VR experience can support multiple phases—from concept reviews to stakeholder presentations—especially when the goal is to help viewers understand a space beyond static imagery.
Architecture & Design
- Communicating layout and circulation for client presentations
- Material/finish discussions with realistic lighting
- Design reviews with internal teams and consultants
Real Estate & Development
- Off-the-plan style previews using immersive 360 views
- Marketing support alongside renders and animations
- Remote stakeholder access to spatial context

FAQs
What’s the difference between a 360° VR walkthrough and an architectural animation?
A 360° VR walkthrough lets the viewer look around freely from a chosen viewpoint (or multiple viewpoints), while an architectural animation is a guided sequence (flythrough/walkthrough) that plays like a video. Many projects use both depending on presentation needs.
Can 360 VR be combined with 3D renders and 3D floor plans?
Yes. A typical visualisation set may include photoreal 3D renders for hero images, 3D floor plans for layout clarity, and 360 VR for immersive understanding of space and finishes.
What files do you typically use to start a 360 VR project?
Common inputs include architectural drawings, reference images, material specifications, and colour schedules. These inform modelling, view selection, lighting, texturing, and the final 360° tour preparation.
Do you support projects across Australia?
We work with teams across Australia depending on project needs, including Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, and other major and regional locations.
