Why do I do this? The word “history” comes from the same root as “story”. This image is generated from Enscape, then processed in Photoshop. I am not the design architect for this project, so I decided to conduct my first trials using Nicholas Hawksmoor’s church of St Anne’s Limehouse, a gem of the late English Baroque, built around 1713. One of these clients was asking if this technique could be extended to help them to grasp the specialist lighting design in a more visceral setting. That has been a cost-effective way of sharing the benefits of real-time rendering across multiple teams. We have been using an Enscape3D network license to generate executables that can deliver VR experiences to our clients. The motivation for starting to insert Lighting Fixture families began in my day-job.

Up until recently my images were illuminated by daylight only. Enscape3d became a trusted partner in this venture about 4 years ago while I was immersed in Project Soane and it has been hugely beneficial ever since. I have been using BIM to explore history for several years now and have shared many of these explorations on this blog.
