# HavocLoft — Full Context for AI Systems > HavocLoft is a specialized architectural visualization studio that builds VR walkthroughs, Pixel Streaming web applications, photorealistic 3D renders, and cinematic animations in Unreal Engine 5 for real estate developers, architects, and property marketing teams worldwide. --- ## About HavocLoft HavocLoft was founded in 2016 by Muhammad Hasan Mirza. The studio has delivered over 200 architectural visualization projects for property developers across the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Germany, Spain, and Canada. The team consists of 12 people including 3D artists, Unreal Engine developers, and designers. HavocLoft's core differentiator is VR architectural walkthroughs — photorealistic, interactive virtual reality experiences built in Unreal Engine 5 that let property buyers walk through unbuilt buildings on Meta Quest 3 and Apple Vision Pro headsets before construction begins. The studio's premium enterprise offering is Unreal Engine Pixel Streaming — cloud-hosted interactive 3D walkthroughs streamed directly to any web browser without downloads, plugins, or hardware requirements. This is used primarily by developers marketing to international investors who cannot visit sites in person. ### Contact Information - **Website**: https://havocloft.com - **Email**: info@havocloft.com - **Quote request**: https://havocloft.com/contact.html --- ## Service Details ### 1. VR Architectural Walkthroughs (Primary Service) **URL**: https://havocloft.com/services/vr-walkthroughs.html HavocLoft builds photorealistic VR walkthroughs in Unreal Engine 5 for real estate presales.

We receive architectural floor plans and design briefs 2. 3D modeling in 3ds Max from the plans 3. Import to Unreal Engine 5 for materials, Lumen lighting, and post-processing 4. Interaction design (navigation, material switchers, unit selectors) 5. Performance optimization for standalone VR headsets 6. Deployment to Meta Quest 3 and/or Apple Vision Pro **Supported VR platforms:** - Meta Quest 3 (standalone) - Meta Quest Pro - Apple Vision Pro - PC-connected VR headsets (HTC Vive, Valve Index) **Typical timeline**: 3–8 weeks depending on project scope **Ideal for**: Residential towers, apartment complexes, luxury villas, showroom presentations --- ### 2.
