Renderings can look like charcoal, pen and ink, watercolor or photographic. See what the same view would look like using more than one media and pick the one that works best for you.
Changes to design such as layout, materials, or colors can be done quickly and cost effectively.
You can even show the house right on the actual site by providing the topography. Provide a series of site photos and you can see what the proposed design will look like....including the background...including views from inside the house looking out. The more information provided, the more detailed and exact the options that can be delivered in the renderings.
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? I've always said, there are clients that can visualize everything down to the smallest detail, and there are other clients that can't visualize their hand with their eyes closed. I've had many that were married to each other too. People are just different. As a developer or designer, how much easier would it be to sell a home or design 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.
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.
...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.
Add full color 3D renderings to your presentations now for as little as $75 per rendering and packages for as little as $375.
We can do interiors as well.
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.
