Whelans have established a business partner agreement with leading 3D software developer Simurban. This partnership gives extended capabilities for the production of high resolution, immersive 3D environments. We can now bring to our clients an opportunity to view data in a unique and visually enhanced 3D environment, which includes real-time camera view maneuverability. The Simurban software is a photorealistic simulation program that allows the viewer to fly around in a spatially accurate and visually realistic 3D environment just like that of a modern day computer game.      It is currently used by a wide variety of Land and Development Professionals including developers, potential investors, project managers, urban planners and designers, architects, engineers and land surveyors.

•     Advanced 3D Visualisation Engine - simulate single buildings or entire cities with incredible photorealism. •     Realtime interactivity - fly to any vantage point and manipulate any object in realtime. •     Orthorectified and Surveyed Inputs - create models with real-world accuracy to the limit of your data. •     Scenery Engine - simulate millions of vegetation objects in realtime. •     Solar Depition Engine - exact representation of sunlight and shadows for any time of day or year. •     Advanced Shader Technology - cutting edge visual effects, e.g. animated water, particle system clouds and bump-mapping. •     Sound Attenuation Modelling - create spatially correct 3D sound. •     Open Architecture - allows integration with GIS and other urban planning applications. •     DirectX Based 3D Engine - operates on any Windows desktop with advanced graphics card.
