3D modelling & simulation
Before installation,
verified in 3D
Once a project is awarded, Gravissystem carries out 3D modelling and simulation. We model the building and its surroundings, apply the lighting design, and review beam, brightness and colour with the client before work begins on site.
Images on this page are 3D model scenes made to show the process; the case study photos are taken on site.
From plan to operation
Lighting that continues beyond installation
The same team carries all four stages, so the design intent survives the site.
3D · massing model
3D · detailed model
3D · facade lighting applied
3D · night-time operationLighting simulator
Switch the lighting on yourself
Turn each zone of lighting on a 3D model on or off and change its colour temperature, brightness and effects. On real projects we agree the night-time scene with the client in the same way before installation.
A simplified simulation based on an image; actual illuminance and colour depend on site conditions and fixture specifications.

Lighting by application
3D renderBridge lighting that reveals the structure
Narrow-beam floodlighting and deck line lighting that trace cables, pylons and piers, reflections included.
- Pylon uplighting, cable lines, pier washes
- IP66 or better, narrow 10° beams
- DMX colour scenes by time of night
3D renderFacade lighting that draws the building’s lines
Grazing, washing and accenting corners and window lines give a building a night-time elevation of its own.
- Linear, washer and spot combinations
- 2700–6500K, RGBW
- Optics that limit spill light and glare
3D renderLandscape lighting that invites a night walk
Tree uplights, path bollards and waterside lines make walks safe and comfortable.
- In-ground and spike tree lights
- IP67 with anti-glare louvres
- Handrail and deck line lighting by the water
Underwater lighting that turns water into light
For fountain nozzles, water features and waterside structures, with colour moving in time with water and music.
- IP68 submersible
- Stainless steel 316 housings
- Synchronised RGB and RGBW effects
Media facades that turn buildings into screens
Pixel-controlled LEDs carry video and patterns across the whole building, installed to stay discreet by day.
- Pixel pitch and transparency studies
- Art-Net and sACN control
- Layouts matched to content resolution
Gobo projection on floors and walls
Gobo projectors, lasers and rotation effects project logos and patterns, turning squares and venues into stages.
- Custom gobo patterns
- Rotation and colour effects
- High-output LED sources
