Have you ever wished you could bring the outdoors, indoors? How about immersing an audience in a unique underwater experience in your lobby? 3D photorealistic CGI nature scenes allow us to do just that. Whether you want to add a realistic mountainside scene or a fantasy forest scene, the possibilities are endless when it comes to creating custom, photo-real CGI nature scenes for your direct-view LED video wall. Keep reading to find out more about what is possible and why you should take advantage of this incredible opportunity.

Living Plant Walls with Forced Perspective

While real, living plant walls are not a new concept, a 3D photorealistic CGI plant wall with a forced perspective illusion is sure to WOW your audience. Considering just about any plant can be added to your scene and dynamically animated, you can let your creativity run wild! If you prefer to have plants that are native to your area, a plant wall scene can be created using native species. If you would prefer a more mystical experience, glowing bioluminescent plants are another option to consider. Take your 3D living plant wall to the next level by placing it behind glass in a forced perspective container to truly WOW your audience. 

 

It takes the right mix of a few different elements to make your CGI plant wall appear realistic, and a crucial part of your plant wall that must be pulled off correctly is lighting. Dynamic lighting with HDRI is a technique used to bring natural sunlight into the scene, and create shadows that will contribute to the illusion that your LED plant wall is alive. In addition to using beautiful lighting and shadows to promote photorealism, the use of a gentle breeze causing the plants on your LED wall to sway softly, and incorporating butterflies or birds into the scene (or both - the choice is yours!), will truly bring your LED plant wall to life. 

Architects and interior designers have also recognized the benefits of using LED displays and digital plant walls instead of real, living plant walls, to bring nature into a space. A concept known as “techorating” is often used by these designers as it allows for more flexibility. It is beneficial to use fine pitch direct-view LED as these screens are much more versatile and can be used for content other than a living plant wall. This option would not be available with a real, physical plant wall. The creative possibilities are endless when using digital displays!
