Interactive Architectural Visualization
Across Canada and the US
Real-time walkthroughs, browser and VR versions, and live material switching, built in Unreal Engine.
Real-Time Architectural Visualization You Can Explore
Charisma Space is an architecture and 3D visualization studio in Coquitlam, BC. Our Interactive Studio turns your design into a real-time experience that clients can explore themselves, instead of watching a fixed video or looking at still images. With over 24 years of experience and 200+ completed projects, we work with architects, developers and designers across Canada and the US.
Clients walk through the space, look where they want and see the design at their own pace, which helps them understand and decide.

What Our Interactive Studio Delivers
- Real-time walkthroughs. A standalone application that lets clients move through the project themselves.
- Web-based versions. Experiences that run in a browser, so you can share a link with clients.
- VR for headsets. Immersive virtual reality experiences for headset viewing.
- Material and option switching. Change finishes, materials and design options live, to compare them side by side.
Who This Service Is For
- Architects. A way to present a design so clients can explore it themselves.
- Developers. Interactive experiences for sales centers, websites and investor presentations.
- Sales and marketing teams. Real-time tools that let buyers explore a project and its options.
Real-Time vs. Pre-Rendered
A pre-rendered image or video is calculated in advance to reach the highest visual quality, but the camera path is fixed. A real-time experience is rendered as you use it, so you can move freely, change materials and look around, including in VR. Many projects use both: still images and animation for marketing, and an interactive experience for presentations and decision-making.
Revisions, Files and Confidentiality
Three rounds of revisions are included. We deliver in the format you need and sign an NDA on request.
Our Interactive Visualization Process
Brief and files
You send drawings, models and references. We agree what the client should be able to explore and on which device.
Real-time model
We prepare the model and the environment in Unreal Engine.
Interaction and testing
We build the movement, the options and the interface, then test it.
Delivery
We deliver the experience in the version you need: application, browser or VR.
Read more about how we work on our Our Process page. We build in Unreal Engine, with 3ds Max and Blender for modeling. For fixed images, see our 3D architectural rendering services.
