How Many Different Ways Can You Use the 3D Event Designer?: Let Us Count the Ways!

27 Jun

There are so many different ways you can use our 3D Event Designer when planning your next event, let us count the ways…

1. Design in Detail

Your venue has their event space(s) modeled in 3D and your vendors have their products modeled in 3D. Design and watch as your event comes to life … no surprises on the day of your event, what you see is what you get! (**note: Due to the flash and lighting in the real-life image on the right, the walls in Viceroy Santa Monica’s Bristol Room don’t appear to be the stark white color they are, please refer to the 3D Event Designer modeled room for actual wall coloring).

2. Replicate Your Venue

Your venue doesn’t have their event space(s) modeled in 3D (… yet …), but that won’t stop you from using our 3D Event Designer. Simply use the “Create Your Own Event Space” feature to easily insert your room’s dimensions. Then start changing floor, ceiling, and wall color and dropping in decor!

3. Layout and Setup

Drop furniture in and move it around. See the room from all angles and try various setups to decide what you like best.

4. Choosing Colors and Furniture Styles

Not sure if you want to go with the venue’s standard linen color or rent your own tables to bring in? What about the type of chairs? See them all in your event setup before you make a choice. (note: Venue shown above – Ritz Carlton Marina del Rey’s Salon I)

5. Centerpiece Heights and Decor

Easily decide whether you want the same centerpieces, or varying centerpieces and heights, on all tables. Then decide on decor – whether you want votives accompanying the centerpieces, all the same chairs or alternating types of chairs, and more.

There are so many more ways you can use EventsClique.com’s 3D Event Designer when planning your next event, but we think you get the idea! What are you waiting for? Start designing!

The Clique Tip of the Day: If you are designing a large event we recommend limiting the number of items/decor you put into the event space due to load time… but we’ll be releasing a new version of our 3D Event Designer soon to instantaneously support events of all sizes!

Add a Vendor’s Product to Our Growing Catalogue of Items

You asked. We’re answering.

In our series of Blogs, “3D Event Designer – Why Design Your Event in Realistic 3D”, here’s Benefit #6 as to why Events Clique is the solution for you (whether you’re “The Client”, Venue, or Vendor).

6. Love a specific cake or centerpiece? Add a vendor-specific product to our growing catalogue of items.

Our growing catalogue of products is used by venues, event planners, and everyday people (you) to design and create their event virtually and to have it come to life in reality. This is a vendor’s chance to see and be seen! Plus, use the application with your products for inclusion in your quote to clients.

In the event design above we have centerpieces by both Butterfly Floral & Event Design and Flowers on Mars. Our 3D Event Designer provides color override options, so check out how we used the color override option (hot pink) with Flowers on Mars‘ mini-centerpieces to match them to the other centerpieces. We also used a cake by The Butter End Cakery for this event design. Notice how we once again used the color override option to match the ribbon and flowers to this event’s color scheme. You’re also probably wondering what venue we used… any guesses? We used the “Create Your Own Event Space” and inserted custom dimensions… designing the perfect event really is only a clique away!

Make Event Design Changes and See Them in Real-Time

In our series of Blogs, “3D Event Designer – Why Design Your Event in Realistic 3D”, here’s Benefit #5 as to why Events Clique is the solution for you (whether you’re “The Client”, Venue, or Vendor).

5. Make event design changes and see them in real-time.

Event planners and venues… you’ll LOVE this… if you don’t want to share the event design on Facebook because it’s your client’s confidential information, simply click the “Facebook” icon and instead of posting it, just copy the link. Paste that link into an email and send it to your client – they can then see the event design you created for them! Once you get feedback from your client, make changes to the 3D design. They’ll be able to see the changes in real-time with the same link you provided them!

Or, if you want to compare two event designs, simply click on the “Duplicate Event” button at the top of the navigation bar. Your current event will be duplicated (saved a second time) and you can make changes to this duplicated design (we know, you love us for not having to re-create the original design!).
