Short overview

This embeddable web application enables potential buyers to examine a 3D rendered sequence of a property development to see how sunlight hits the building and apartments at different times of the day and from different angles. A slider allows for the selection of the time, and the image sequence changes according to the time set by the slider. This presentation can easily be used as an addition to the Apartment Selector
