Add 3D Full Color Renderings to your Sales & Presentation Packages

Add full color 3D renderings to your presentations.


Renderings can look like charcoal, pen & ink, watercolor or photographic.  See what the same view would look like using more than one media and chose the one that's best for you.


Change materials, colors and design and have these changes shown at little or no extra charge.


Put the house right on the site using the topography provided or a background image you provide.  The more information you provide, the more detailed and exact the options that can be provided in the renderings.  See Portfolio page for samples.



Provide your clients with a better idea of what the house will look like.

How frustrating is it to present a great design to your client only to have them not be able to "visualize" your concept seeing only the floor plan and elevations?  As a developer, how much easier would it be to sell a home if you could show each option, in color, on each model house?  These are only a couple of reasons I have found this technique a tool of full color renderings to be one of the best methods to get the design ideas across to my clients over the years.





What do you need to to provide?



All that is needed is an accurate dimensioned floor plan and elevations that I use to build the base that I use to generate these high quality renderings.  If you want the house placed on the actual site, as apposed to a generic "flat" site, I would need the site plan/topography with trees as needed as well...with the house located on the site.


If you are using this tool for your development, and you want to show all the material and design options, I would need those as well.  These can be in the form of any graphic file type (including samples from a supplier).  The more details you provide, the more details we can show.  As an example, changing from brick to siding on an elevation is a simple change.  I bet you never thought you'd hear someone say that before.



What would the house look like at night?
I'm sure you've seen what a view might look like during the day...but what about at night?  How many times has a client said, "I bet this would look great at night with the landscape all lit up".  I wonder what it would look like.  Just edit the time of day, the sun angle changes, and what you see during the day...


...turns into night.  Adjust the light selection and location to get better overall lighting effects.  Add lights in areas where more security might be needed.  Or, just provide something really cool that might put the client "over the top" in love with the design.  Presentation means so much...both before and after the contract is made with the client.



...and the Cost?
This is based on what is provided and what output you need.  The more information you can provide makes it easier for us to generate the end product.  The more options you need, the more work is needed...but, this doesn't mean a big cost extra...or any at all, depending on the package.  One drawing vs. a series or package of drawings will also vary the cost.  We can generate a series of renderings using the exact same information as we would have used to generate just one rendering.  We just change the viewing angle and generate the new rendering.





What can do interiors as well.
If you want interiors done we can provide those as well.  The detailing is usually more involved so the cost is usually a little more, but you can request a package of interiors for a room and gain the same cost efficiency as mentioned above with respect to an exterior package.  Interiors are done on a room by room basis.  Since some rooms require other rooms in the background to be detailed, this may increase the cost for that series, but if that room in the background is to be part of another series request for that room, then there would be no cost increase due to the background.
