Large-scale projects typically require significant involvement from stakeholders, engross large budgets, and/or the workload is too overwhelming for one person or small group to handle on their own. Personally, I have dealt with two different scenarios: One was working on a project with multiple phases of a large development concurrently being designed, e.g., Project City Center (MGM) shown in the image above, and the other was working on Pier 27 (Cityzen), an average-sized project with many deliverables due in an extremely short time frame.The first scenario, Project City Center involved producing 10 minutes of HD animation and 40 still renderings in approximately 100 days for a design that involved 6 high-rise towers including outdoor amenities, a mega retail center, intermodal transportation hubs, and a casino, all from different world-renowned architects, that included additional modeling of the Las Vegas strip from reference materials. A project like this would be considered large-scale because of the sheer magnitude of 3D modeling required and all the coordination involved in gathering files, comments, and approvals from the different parties involved.The other scenario, Pier 27 consisted of one luxury resort/condo tower with amenities, and the scope included 3 minutes of HD animation and 15 still renderings to be completed in 30 days.
