• What is architecture visualization?

When the architecture is not yet built and still a total concept, an architecture visualization, also known as archviz, lets us understand the concept of the design in a digital graphic representation of the structure. With architectural visualization, architecture professionals can eliminate gaps between imagination and practical application of the concept in architecture design.

• What is 3D Rendering?

3D rendering for architecture is one kind of architecture visualization form. It’s a photorealistic architecture rendering that is based on an architectural plan or starts from scratch. There are exterior rendering, interior rendering, and aerial rendering options, depending on which scenes and angles you need for the 3D render.

• Who Uses Architecture Visualization Service?

Architecture visualization is used throughout the building construction process, starting from designing. As mentioned above, professionals in the AEC industry need 3D architecture renderings for easier business:

– Architects rely on architectural visualization to capture all the details of their design.
– Homebuilders and contractors use 3D renderings as a reference to help them execute the design more accurately for the construction project.
– Remodellers create new designs on the basis of the old architecture rendering to make sure the renovation plan is compatible with the existing structure.
– Interior designers prefer to use 3D renderings as the framework when designing the layout and styling the furniture.
– Realtors and brokers use 3D visualization as the listing material to presale the property while it is still under construction.
– Real estate marketers post architecture visualization renderings as the marketing material on their websites, promotion campaigns, or online social media advertising;
– Job hunters add architecture visualization of their previous work in their resume as the portfolio to stand out from the piles of resumes.

• What rendering options do I have?

1. Camera Angle

We can match the chosen camera angles you marked on the architectural plan, and if you did not include the desired angle, we can match the camera angle on your reference photos in most cases.

2. Time of Day, Weather and Lighting

If you let us know in advance, we can usually match time-of-day lighting, and interior and/or exterior lighting. You can set the rendering scene to be in the morning, at dawn or on a foggy day as you need.

3. Landscape Architecture

We can match most regions’ vegetation from our extensive library to create accurate landscaping plans.

• How much does it cost?

Imagist3ds is not keen on going after the lowest price to boost sales.

Quality is our utmost concern like you do. We don’t take orders unless we are sure we can deliver the best quality we can at a reasonable price.

Moreover, it is hard to provide a fixed flat rate for different projects because all our 3D renderings are customized designs and made based on your specific requirements. The price of our previous renderings varies from $200 to $15,000. 3D rendering prices depend on the rendering type, project scope, numbers, and levels of details you require (colors, textures, plants, 3D people, etc.), the technical complexity of the task, and the delivery time frame.

If you would like to get a more accurate quotation, please send a brief about the project via email and we will get back to you with the accurate price.

• What’s the future of 3D architectural visualization?

As technology evolves, rendering accuracy and efficiency are improving.  Photorealism is not the ceil of 3D visualization. Architects can expect more from a 3D architecture visualization. For example, you can use virtual reality for your architectural project. If VR/AR is adopted in a 3D visualization project, you can give your clients a more immersive virtual tour when showcasing your design. 

You provide your architectural plan to us, get a quick render, demonstrate the render to your clients for any changes needed and the changes will be done in an interative almost real-time manner.

Using cutting-edge 3D visualization service for your project makes your work as an architectural professional becomes easier with an efficient workflow. Moreover, with VR integrated, your project approval could speed up and your clients would have more peace of mind funding an expensive project. 

• How many projects can you do at the same time?

As many as you need! Our team consists of a good number of skilled 3D artists, and dozens of project managers to take up projects of any scale. There are no long waiting lines, and your projects can be done at premium quality simultaneously.

• Which software do you use?

3Ds Max is commonly used for modeling, V-ray for rendering, and Adobe Photoshop for some post-production. Our team of skilled 3D artists is up-to-date as regards the latest architectural technology. We are keen on learning, and honing our skills for better visualization results.

• Whom will I be talking to? A project manager or the 3D artists?

To make sure the 3D artists can focus more on rendering high-quality work, we have project managers taking care of all the communication between the teams during the whole process.

• Do you offer architectural visualization services worldwide?

Yes, we’ve taken various rendering projects worldwide, including the USA, UK, Australia, India, China, Japan, and some European countries. Our excellent services have earned us a great number of positive feedback from our customers.

• What if my project is urgent?

If you are having an urgent project, Imagist3ds can help. We have the capacity to handle urgent projects with premium quality. We will try our utmost best to meet your schedule. Please highlight any deadlines you have up front, we will try our best to fit your schedule. If you have a complete 3D model to send to us, it will help speed up the process as well.

• If I provide the 3D model, should the cost of 3D modeling exclude?

Thanks for asking, that’s a good question. We can model your project from scratch but a high-quality 3D model will help us speed up the process.

However, in many cases, the 3D models our clients send cannot be used directly due to compatibility issues. We will have to fine-tune or convert them into a supported format and sometimes, we have to start over and remodel them from scratch.

But if the 3D Models you send to us are a high-quality scene from the supported formats that we can directly use for the rendering, we will definitely provide a discount for that. So please send your project brief, our project manager will evaluate your 3D model files, and give you an accurate quotation.

• What are your payment terms?

We require 50% pre-payment to initiate the project, and final payment made before sending the confirmed high-res rendering. We accept PayPal, Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express, Western Union, and Bank Wire Transfer.
