Problems We Faced
Swire Properties is one of the largest property developers in Hong Kong, and like many developers in the region, they have turned to 3D animation to showcase their projects. However, while 3D animation has many benefits, it also presents some challenges for developers. Here are some problems that Swire Properties faced with 3D animations:
- High cost: Developing 3D animations can be a costly process, requiring specialized software and skilled animators. Swire Properties had to allocate a significant amount of their budget to 3D animation, which limited their ability to invest in other marketing and branding activities.
- Limited audience: While 3D animation can be effective in engaging potential buyers, it may not be accessible to everyone. Some demographics, such as elderly or low-income individuals, may not have the necessary technology or skills to access and understand 3D animations. This limited the reach of Swire Properties' marketing efforts and may have resulted in missed opportunities to engage potential buyers.
- Time-consuming: Creating high-quality 3D animations is a time-consuming process, which may delay the marketing and sales process. Swire Properties had to balance the need for high-quality animations with the need to get their projects to market quickly, which may have resulted in some delays.
- Accuracy: 3D animations must accurately represent the physical space they are depicting. Any inaccuracies or inconsistencies may lead to confusion or frustration among potential buyers. Swire Properties had to ensure that their animations accurately represented the physical space and features of their developments, which required close collaboration between their design and animation teams.
