Communities often lack specific information about a proposed wind farm as it is being developed. They face an impossible hurdle to obtain professional quality photosimulations of the wind farm from all of the viewpoints people feel are important to investigate. This paper presents a case study concerning one community group’s solution to overcome the skills, tools, cost and time required to produce any number of accurate visualizations of a proposed wind farm. The advantages, disadvantages, and effectiveness of the approach is evaluated by 17 people involved in visual resource activities. They found it a highly effective and accessible way to visualize wind turbines from virtually any viewpoint. They also recognized that it lacked the photo-realism and precision of professional simulations.
