    uniE621 Intipa - Residencias de Mar
    This project involved creating high-quality 3D visualizations for INTIPA Residencias de Mar, an exclusive residential complex developed by Grupo Caral in Punta del Este, Uruguay. Located on the Mansa beachfront at Parada 22 along the Rambla, the project comprises two interconnected modules of 4 and 5 floors, designed to offer a premium coastal living experience. The main objective was to produce photorealistic imagery that accurately reflects the architectural design, communal spaces, and the atmosphere of the surroundings. The process included detailed 3D modeling, realistic material application, ambient lighting to evoke the serene coastal environment, and post-production to highlight key design elements. These visualizations were used for marketing materials, digital presentations, and virtual tours for prospective buyers. Key Features: Accurate 3D modeling of buildings and surrounding areas Realistic material textures and finishes Ambient lighting that captures the coastal atmosphere High-resolution renders suitable for promotional and marketing use Post-production to emphasize architectural and landscape details This project demonstrates a commitment to quality and attention to detail, providing a visual representation that allows viewers to virtually experience the lifestyle INTIPA Residencias de Mar offers.…
