Visualization agencies, particularly those serving the AEC industry and working with Unreal Engine, face a core challenge: reliably delivering their complex, interactive 3D projects to clients who often lack the necessary high-end hardware. This mismatch between the agency's powerful tools and the client's limitations leads to significant delays, technical issues, and misinterpretations of the intended experience. This use case demonstrates how a visualization agency – a firm specializing in high-end interior design projects – overcame these obstacles by adopting Eagle 3D Streaming. By replacing complicated file transfers with a simple URL, they achieved dramatically reduced delivery times, increased client satisfaction (by making the project accessible), the elimination of client-side install issues, and a substantial boost in internal efficiency. Eagle 3D Streaming's cloud-based pixel streaming platform empowers these agencies to deliver Unreal Engine projects instantly to any device via a browser, effectively bypassing the client's hardware constraints.,
Visualization agencies create immersive and interactive 3D experiences with Unreal Engine for various industries, including architecture, product design, and interior design. These experiences are increasingly vital for client communication, marketing, and design review. However, traditional delivery methods, relying on large file transfers and often encountering compatibility issues, hinder effective communication and collaboration between agencies and their clients. The process of getting these visually rich, interactive experiences into the hands of clients for review and feedback has long been a bottleneck, slowing down project timelines and adding complexity to the workflow.The primary cause of this bottleneck is that the clients of these visualization agencies frequently lack the high-end hardware needed to run these demanding Unreal Engine applications. Asking clients to download and install large files or meet specific hardware requirements creates a major accessibility barrier. This is the fundamental reason visualization agencies seek out pixel streaming solutions: to make their work accessible to clients regardless of the client's hardware.
This use case illustrates how a visualization agency transformed its project delivery process by implementing Eagle 3D Streaming. The agency shifted from delivering weekly updates, sometimes involving 50+ variations, through large Unreal Engine builds to sharing a single URL that streams the interactive 3D content directly to clients' browsers. Eagle 3D Streaming's cloud-based pixel streaming technology made this transition seamless, enabling the agency to provide clients with instant access to Unreal Engine projects on any device, without the need for any installations. This directly solves the problem of the agency's clients not having the necessary hardware.
Visualization agencies, especially those focused on delivering Unreal Engine experiences to clients in the AEC industry, face a unique set of challenges in their project delivery workflow, largely centered around their clients' limitations:
Client-Side Hardware Limitations: As heavily emphasized, clients often lack the necessary high-end hardware to run complex Unreal Engine projects. This is the core problem and the primary driver for visualization agencies to adopt pixel streaming. The agency's challenge is that their clients cannot easily access or experience their work.
Large File Transfers: Traditional delivery methods involve cumbersome file transfers, which are time-consuming and prone to errors. This problem is exacerbated by the fact that many clients struggle with large downloads due to their hardware or network limitations.
Compatibility Issues: Ensuring compatibility across various devices and operating systems is a major hurdle. Again, this is directly tied to the diversity of client hardware and software.
Version Control: Managing multiple project versions and client feedback can be complex and inefficient. This is made worse when clients have trouble accessing different versions due to technical issues.
Communication Barriers: Static images or videos fail to effectively convey the interactive nature of Unreal Engine experiences, leading to misinterpretations. This problem is amplified when clients can't even run the interactive experience to understand it properly.
Eagle 3D Streaming offers a powerful solution to these challenges by enabling agencies to stream their Unreal Engine projects directly to clients' web browsers, thereby bypassing client hardware limitations. This approach provides:
Instant Access: Clients can access projects instantly via a simple URL, eliminating the need for downloads or installations. This is the key benefit in addressing the client's hardware constraints.
Universal Compatibility: Projects can be viewed on any device with a web browser, regardless of hardware capabilities or operating system. This is crucial because it ensures all clients can access the agency's work.
Interactive Experience: Clients can interact with the 3D experience in real-time, facilitating better understanding and feedback. This is only possible when the client can actually run the application, which Eagle 3D Streaming enables.
Streamlined Workflow: Agencies can simplify their delivery process, improve version control, and reduce support requests. These are all indirect benefits of solving the client hardware problem.
Implementing Eagle 3D Streaming is designed to be straightforward:
Easy Integration: The platform integrates seamlessly with existing Unreal Engine workflows.
Quick Setup: Agencies can quickly set up and deploy their projects.
Scalable Solution: Eagle 3D Streaming can scale to accommodate projects of any size and complexity.
The transition from traditional delivery methods to Eagle 3D Streaming transforms the project workflow, primarily by resolving client hardware issues:
Traditional Workflow:
The agency prepares the Unreal Engine project for delivery, often involving time-consuming file compression and organization.
The agency uses various methods to transfer the large project files to the client, such as cloud storage services, file transfer protocols (FTP), or even physical storage devices.
The client receives the project files and faces potential challenges related to downloading large files, software compatibility, and hardware limitations.
The client attempts to open the project, which may require specific software installations, technical expertise, and significant time investment.
Communication and feedback are often delayed and inefficient, relying on static images, videos, or written descriptions to convey complex 3D information.
The agency spends considerable time troubleshooting client-side technical issues and addressing compatibility problems.
Eagle 3D Streaming-Enabled Workflow:
The agency prepares and uploads the Unreal Engine project to the Eagle 3D Streaming platform, incorporating optimizations for efficient streaming.
Eagle 3D Streaming generates a single, easily shareable URL that serves as the client's access point to the interactive visualization experience.
The agency shares the URL with the client.
The client clicks the link to instantly access and interact with the 3D content in their web browser on any device, without any downloads or installations.
Eagle 3D Streaming handles the streaming process, ensuring a smooth, high-quality, and interactive experience for the client.
Communication and feedback are streamlined and enhanced through real-time interaction and visualization.
