We are pleased to announce our partnership with glassAdvisor, which develops a glass composition configuration platform for architects and building industry professionals. This collaboration enables a seamless transition from material configuration to rendering, allowing users to convert their own compositions within our software.
Presenting GlassAdvisor solution for glass composition configuration:
With the GlassAdvisor’s platform users can configure their glass compositions by selecting and combining materials such as glass, PVB, and coatings.
It provides an extensive set of characterization including:
- Solar behavior (Solar Factor, Secondary Heat Transfer Factor, Solar Transmittance, etc.)
- Light behavior (Light Transmittance, External and Internal Reflectance, Color Rendering Indices, etc.)
- UV behavior (Transmittance UV, Material Damage Factor, Skin Damage Factor, etc.)
- Safety in use and solar heat gain breakdown
- Color analysis (Lab* and RGB transmission and reflection, spectral data, etc.)
Direct material integration into Ocean™, glass visualization software
Once the glass composition is generated in glassAdvisor, user will be able to convert the technical and optical data into an Ocean™ format file and use it into our software to visualize their custom glass compositions under real-world conditions.
Through our partnership, we are connecting our scientifically accurate rendering technology with these detailed material properties to offer a seamless workflow. Users will now be able to configure and characterize glass compositions with GlassAdvisor and then visualize this specific composition in Ocean™.
Glass visualization in real-world conditions
Once converted, users can benefit from following capabilities of Ocean™ to get a physically-true visualization of their materials created with glassAdvisor:
- Full-scale visualization on actual building designs
- Real-world weather and lighting conditions
- Complex environmental interactions
Thanks to our advanced rendering engine, these visualizations will be generated in seconds to minutes, allowing architects and manufacturers to make more informed decisions with both quantitative data and predictive visuals at their disposal.
For architects wondering how to visualize glass in architectural projects, this integration provides a seamless solution, enabling them to see their designs in real-world conditions before finalizing material choices.
A seamless experience for architects and manufacturers
This first step of our collaboration provides a straightforward workflow for architects and manufacturers, bridging the gap between material configuration and predictive rendering. With this functionality, users can create their own glass compositions generated with glassAdvisor and use them directly within Ocean™, eliminating compatibility issues and streamlining the design process. This seamless workflow for glass configuration and visualization empowers users to transition effortlessly from technical specifications to final project visuals.
Looking ahead, the next phases of our partnership will further enhance this integration, ultimately allowing for direct simulation within glassAdvisor’s platform with customed pre-defined scenes. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting development!
Comparing glass compositions in real-world conditions is now easier than ever, as this integration provides both technical data and predictive visuals that account for environmental interactions.
