"When I first talked to MediaMerge, they actually told me not to spend my money! We needed something we could not yet afford, and instead of wasting money buying something we would only have to replace, they advised us to just wait until we could afford to do it right. That's pretty strange for someone who makes their living selling equipment and installs. I have used several other companies aside from MediaMerge, and, as cliche as it sounds, none of the others compare in honesty or the services they provide. If you're looking for the best system you can find and the best service to back it up and make it work, you have to use MediaMerge."

Predictive Modeling

Fostering Creativity & Improving Communication

Predictive Modeling is the first tutorial in the Inspired Servant video series. In this video, Ken McKibben of MediaMerge demonstrates how computer-based 3D modeling can be used as part of the design process to keep everyone on the same page while exploring all of the creative possibilities for your space.

The traditional 2D approach requires you to look at floorplan and elevation drawings on paper and somehow decipher how a space is going to look and feel. This is very difficult for most non-technical committee members.

The image below represents a typical floorplan drawing used during the concept-phase of a construction project.

Example of 2D Floorplan Drawing

The new 3D approach delivers a photo-realistic rendering that is, in essence, a picture of the final project, complete with textures and colors as they will look in real life. Instead of the entire group coming to separate subjective conclusions on how your new facility is going to look based on drawings, the whole team can view the same image and instantly be on the same page with one another.

The image below represents a photo-realistic 3D rendering. Place your cursor over the image to see an actual photo of the completed facility.
