FAQ
What is architectural visualisation? Architectural visualisation is the process of creating digital models of architectural designs to produce lifelike images or animations. These visual representations help clients, architects, and stakeholders visualize the completed project before construction begins, facilitating decision-making and marketing efforts.
How does the 3D architectural rendering process work? The 3D architectural rendering process begins with the creation of a detailed 3D model based on architectural plans and specifications. Once the model is built, textures and materials are applied, followed by lighting and environmental elements. The final step involves rendering high-quality images or animations that realistically depict the project.
What information do you need from me to start a project? To start a project, we need detailed architectural plans, elevations, and specifications of the building or space. Information about materials, textures, and desired styles or themes, as well as any specific requirements for the surrounding environment, helps us create accurate and tailored visualisations.
Can I see examples of your previous projects? Yes, we have a portfolio of our previous projects available on our website. These examples showcase our range of capabilities in different architectural styles and project types, providing insight into the quality and diversity of our work.
How long does it take to complete a typical architectural visualisation project? The time required to complete an architectural visualisation project depends on its complexity and scope. Generally, a project can take anywhere from a few days to several weeks. We provide a detailed timeline after understanding the project's specifics during the initial consultation.
What are the differences between plot specific rendering, scene rendering, 360 visual tours, and aerial view rendering?
Plot Specific Rendering: Focuses on a specific plot or property, detailing its potential and features.
Scene Rendering: Creates a broader context, showing how a building or space integrates with its surroundings.
360 Visual Tours: Offers an interactive experience, allowing viewers to explore a space in a virtual environment.
Aerial View Rendering: Provides a bird’s-eye view of a project, showcasing its layout and relation to the landscape.
How do you ensure the final renders will match my project's vision? We maintain close communication with our clients throughout the process, incorporating feedback at each stage of rendering to ensure the final product aligns with their vision. Detailed preliminary discussions and regular previews allow for adjustments and refinements.
What software and technology do you use for rendering and 3D modeling? We use industry-leading software such as Autodesk 3ds Max, V-Ray, Chaos Cosmos, iToo Software Pack and for 3D modeling and rendering and Adobe Services for post production. Our technology stack is continually updated to include the latest advancements in architectural visualisation.
Can changes be made once the rendering process has started? Yes, changes can be made during the rendering process. We accommodate revisions at various stages, ensuring the final visuals accurately reflect the client's needs and preferences. However, significant changes late in the process may affect the project timeline and costs.
What is the typical cost of an architectural visualisation project? The cost varies based on the project's complexity, scope, and specific requirements. We provide a detailed quote after the initial consultation and project brief analysis, ensuring transparency and alignment with budget expectations.
Do you provide both interior and exterior rendering services? Yes, we offer both interior and exterior rendering services, creating detailed and realistic visualisations for all aspects of architectural projects.
How do virtual tours enhance the presentation of my project? Virtual tours provide an immersive experience, allowing viewers to explore a space interactively. They enhance presentations by giving a comprehensive view of the project, facilitating a better understanding of its layout, design, and flow.
What file formats do you provide for the final renderings? We can provide final renderings in various file formats, including JPEG, PNG, TIFF, and PDF depending on client needs and project requirements.
Are your visualisation services suitable for residential and commercial projects? Yes, our services are suitable for both residential and commercial projects. We have experience in a wide range of architectural styles and scales, from individual homes to large commercial developments.
How do you handle client feedback during the project? Client feedback is integrated into our process through regular review meetings and updates. We actively encourage feedback at key stages to ensure the project aligns with client expectations and to make necessary adjustments.
What is the process for approving the final renderings? The final renderings are presented to the client for approval, allowing for any last-minute tweaks or adjustments. Approval is typically done through a formal sign-off process, ensuring client satisfaction with the final output.
Do you offer post-completion support or revisions? Yes, we offer post-completion support and revisions but this will incur additional costs. Specific terms of support and revision are discussed and agreed upon during the contract phase.
