Dimensionally accurate elevation and planview drawings of the proposed construction.  AutoCAD format preferred

Good survey data of surrounding terrain, especially if there is a lot of elevation change.  On some large projects, USGS data has been used, but in cases where the same terrain has been re-surveyed, major inaccuracies were seen in the USGS topography.  Today, much survey data in electronic form is natively three dimensional.  This makes it easy and inexpensive to import it into the computer scene.

High resolution aerial photos.  The higher, the better.  This makes it easy to figure out what objects are in the foreground of our view, especially trees and bushes, which can provide valuable view mitigations.

Precise identification of materials and colors will make the rendered view of your project look like its supposed to look.  Many manufactures have pictures of their products on their web sites.

Exact location of camera for each view.  It is preferred that Videoscapes take the base photographs with a high resolution, GPS enabled digital camera (Nikon D200 with Garmin GPS).  All relevant camera information, such as lens focal length, tilt, and elevation should be recorded.  It is possible, more or less, to find the view of a picture with no data, but when you consider the number of axes that have to be reconstructed, there are three things to keep in mind:  labor, time, and expense.
