As a podcast entirely dedicated to making civil engineering projects look good through 3D visualization, landscaping and aesthetics, interactive visualization, and more, we often talk about why the visual side of projects is just as important as the other aspects, as well as what the currently available and upcoming pieces of software used in the industry are. However, if you thought the standard tools could only be used for engineering-related reasons, you’d be wrong. As skeptical as we can be, today’s guest will prove us all wrong.
In today’s episode, Sam talks to Gabe from Mustard, a Youtube channel that puts out educational content about curious stories from the world of design, engineering and history, with an engaging narrative and outstanding visuals. Gabe and his twin brother use industry-standard tools like Lumion and SketchUp to create amazing 3D models for their videos, most of which have 1M+ views.
Previously working in urban design visualization, Gabe and his brother started thinking about creating a side business of their own. After getting their first clients and a few more people interested in their services, they decided to take a leave of absence from their day jobs and devote their time to their new-born visualization business. However, both of them were more passionate about the creative side of things and not that much of a fan of the administrative aspect of running a business. After some time neglecting administrative tasks and heavily building their visualization skill sets, they decided to put all this knowledge into practice by making a Youtube video. Since then…. Well, 1M+ views.
Listen to the show to find out how Gabe got started with his career, how he connected with Sam, his workflow for making awesome videos and 3D models, his thoughts on the future of visualization, his Youtube journey and uncertainties, and much more!
