3D ARCHITECTURAL VISUALIZATION
PROCESS

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW

Below you can find the outline of our visualization process which will help you understand how the three feedback sessions work and what to expect during our collaboration.

Clay renders

A clay render features the 3D scenes without any materials, making it a fast and efficient way of showcasing the proposed angles for each scene and the quality of the natural and/or artificial light throughout the spaces. At this stage, the clay renders will serve as the base for our first feedback session.

Feedback session 1: Camera angles

Using the clay render(s) as the starting point, you will be able to choose your desired camera angles. Once you have approved the angles, they are considered final and cannot be changed at a later stage.

Draft renders

For the next stage, we will create the draft renders featuring the 3D scene from the chosen angles, fully modelled, furnished and with all materials and light settings applied. The resolution of the draft renders is of 1500px on the long side.

Feedback session 2: Essentials

This is the most important feedback stage and it should be done thoroughly. Please take your time to prepare a complete list of comments regarding the light, atmosphere, architecture, furniture layout, materials, decorations or plant types.

The best way to leave your feedback is by marking your comments directly on the draft renders. For streamlining this process, we will provide you with access to an online platform which allows for this type of markup.

Each comment should be clearly formulated and avoid any ambiguity. For example, instead of saying “I don’t like this”, try to explain a bit more about what you do like, send some references and describe what you are looking to achieve.

Also, please try to avoid solving an issue in 3D as you would do in reality – for example, if you think that a certain room is too dark, please say that you would like it to appear brighter instead of saying “open the curtains” if that is not really what you want.

If you are part of a big team, please assign only one person for communicating with our studio and who will be in charge with preparing the list of comments.

Preview renders

The preview renders will feature all the edits requested during the previous feedback session, to make sure that everything is in order before rendering the final image.

Feedback session 3: Minor details

This is the last feedback session during which you will be able to submit your final set of comments and corrections, if any.

Final render with watermarks

We will send you the 3D visualizations in full resolution – usually 4000px on the longer side – in .jpg format. The images will present watermarks which will be removed upon receipt of the final payment.

Final payment

The remainder payment is due at this stage. All payments are done by wire transfer.

Final render without watermarks

Upon receipt of the final payment, you will receive the final 3D visualizations in full resolution – usually 4000px on the longer side – in .tiff and .jpg formats and with no watermarks.

FAQ

What files do I need to send?

01.

Before we can start working on creating beautiful 3D imagery for your project, we will need to collect as much of the following data as possible:

- CAD files (floor plans, elevations, sections, site plans and landscape drawings – if applicable);

- 3D model (if applicable);

- project’s location (address, photos of the surroundings);

- materials and furniture indications;

- moodboards;

- other references and special notes or requirements.

What is your pricing?

02.

Pricing depends on each project's scope and complexity. To find out the exact cost for your project, please request a quote by filling the online brief here or by sending us an email at [email protected] with the information mentioned above. We always provide free pricing quotes within 24 hours, so please do not hesitate to place an inquiry for each project.

Can I make any corrections?

03.

Yes, of course. For each project we allow three feedback sessions. From our experience, three sets of revisions should be enough to achieve your vision. If you require more revisions or if your project suffered modifications that completely alter its design (i.e. floor plan modifications, adding or removing architectural elements, changes to the site orientation, etc.), it is possible to add more sessions for an extra fee.

What is your turnaround time?

04.

The exact turnaround time depends on many factors and varies from project to project. As a reference point, the standard turnaround time for a small residential project is of one week. To know how much time your project would take, please fill in the online brief by clicking here or send us all the information mentioned at Q1 via our email at [email protected].
