Questions & Answers
WHAT IS ARCHITECTURAL RENDERING ?
Architectural rendering, also known as architectural illustration and architectural visualisation, is the art of creating 2d or 3d images from a 3d model to showcase an architectural or design project in a visual and unique way. We build this 3d model by following the indications given by an architect, designer, agencies or a private client. They provide us with all the project descriptions through plans, sketches, references, or any other information that may be relevant to understand the project. Sometimes, clients use BIM software throughout their workflows such as Revit, Archicad, Vectorworks, or even some 3d modelling basic ones like Sketchup. This allows them to send us a basic 3d model which can involve a reduction in costs and a better understanding of how the project will look like. We help architects, designers and real estate developers communicate their projects and make them stand out from the crowd through beautiful and atmospheric architectural imagery.
TYPES OF ARCHITECTURAL RENDERINGS
There are many different types of architectural visualizations depending on the way we classify them. According to where we place the cameras, these would be the most common types of renderings: - Interior renderings. The camera is placed inside the building. - Exterior renderings. The camera is placed outside the building. - Aerial renderings. These display the building from above, from a bird's-eye view. Depending on the type of architectural rendering service, we could mention the following types of 3d 3d renderings: - Still renderings. - Animations or walk-through. - Floor plans. - Walk-through animations. - 360º Virtual reality.
HOW DO YOU MAKE ARCHITECTURAL RENDERINGS ?
Every architectural rendering studio has its own workflow. Here is ours: - First, we ask our clients to send us some information to clearly describe the project and set the scope of the work. Basically, we need to know the following: - Project details (brief description, plans, sketches, mood boards and references). - Amount of images needed: (interior, exterior, aerial). - Type of project (marketing, competition). - Deadline. - Then, we carefully analyze all the information and get back to the client with a proposal for both timeframe and costs. Once they confirm the quote, it's time to get started! - First, we build the 3d model. If it is provided by the client, we make all the corrections needed and add every complex-geometry objects, such as greenery, furniture or lighting fixtures. The more detailed the 3d model, the better the result. - Once the 3d model is ready, we place the cameras and send some clay renderings to the client to get some feedback about the composition and overall lighting setup. - Then, we add materials to the model. Once everything is textured, new previews will follow to help the client check that everything is going in the right direction. - Finally, we make the last adjustments in post-production and bring the image to life by adding some people cutouts, when necessary.

WHAT IS YOUR TURNAROUND TIME ?
The typical completion time for an architectural rendering project is one week, while for an interior design rendering project, it ranges from 48 to 64 hours. However, the specific turnaround time is influenced by various factors such as the number of views, complexity, and level of detail. To ascertain the precise timeframe for your project, kindly reach out to us via the website and submit a brief. Our team of specialists will carefully consider all requirements and provide you with the accurate turnaround time information.
