Case Studies
Case Study: Seashells Jurien Bay Development – 360° CGI Drone
For a new development in Jurien Bay, Viewtech3d created an interactive 360° CGI drone overlay, combining real aerial imagery with photorealistic renders of the future site. This allowed the client and potential buyers to rotate the view and explore the project from every angle. The client was thrilled, using the visuals for the soft launch and new brochures, which generated strong early interest.
Case Study: RAC Ningaloo Retreat – 360° Drone Overlay
To bring the RAC Ningaloo Retreat to life, we produced a 360° CGI drone overlay, seamlessly blending aerial footage with realistic renders of the retreat. The interactive overlay allowed viewers to rotate and experience the development from multiple perspectives, giving a true sense of scale and design. RAC used the content for their website and advertising, capturing excitement well before construction began.
Case Study: Eden Life Lifestyle Village – 360° Drone Overlay
For Eden Life Lifestyle Village, we created a 360° drone overlay that showcased every planned home within the development site. The interactive model allowed viewers to rotate and explore the village layout from all sides, offering a complete preview of the future community. This became a powerful marketing and planning tool, helping Eden Life communicate their vision and attract early buyer interest.
Case Study: Drone Overlay for Trigg Surf Club Concept Design
Viewtech3d supported the Trigg Surf Club by creating a CGI drone overlay to showcase their proposed concept design. By integrating 3D renders with real aerial drone imagery, we placed the new design directly into its coastal setting for a realistic preview. The 3d visualisation was used for design review and stakeholder discussions, giving everyone a clear perspective of how the surf club will look within its environment. This provided an effective and engaging tool to guide the decision-making process before moving forward.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a CGI drone overlay?
A CGI drone overlay (or 3D drone overlay) is a visualisation technique where a 3D model of a future project (like a building or road) is seamlessly blended with real 4K drone footage of the current site. This allows you to see exactly how the new project will look in its real-world environment.
How is this used for unbuilt property?
For unbuilt property visualisation, we fly a drone over the empty land and then “place” the 3D model of the finished development onto the footage. This is a powerful sales tool that shows buyers the actual views, scale, and context of a property that doesn’t exist yet.
What is the difference between a 3D render and a drone overlay?
A 3D render is a 100% computer-generated image. A drone footage with CGI overlay is a hybrid. It combines a 3D render with real-world photography, making it far more realistic and believable for stakeholders and community presentations.
What do you need to create a drone overlay?
To start, we need your architectural plans or 3D models (e.g., CAD, Revit, SketchUp). Our team then conducts a professional drone capture of the site, and our artists merge the two, matching the lighting, camera angles, and scale perfectly.
