How To Reduce The Cost Of  
Real Estate Renderings: Part 
Re1al Estate Rendering Specialists are often asked to quote an 
approximate  cost for their services, and they  find it hard to do this 
as prices can vary  greatly; ranging from a few hundred dollars for
simple renderings to the thousands for high quality 
Photorealistic 3D Rendering Services! In  order to be able to  
give a properestimate for an Exterior or Interior  rendering or 
Architectural Animation, the Visualization Artist must have
a very good understanding of the project itself.
Many people think that the computer does all the work, and by just 
clicking  on the ‘render’ tab on a SketchUp model, the rendering will get 
done on its  own! Nothing could be further from the truth. Architectural 
3D Rendering  Services require immense patience, painstaking 
attention to detail, and a  whole lot of visualization prep work. Pricing is 
quoted based on the actual  amount of work involved, and there are 
many factors that determine the  costs of this real estate marketing 
service. Here, we show you how the  pricing varies based on these 
factors.
How is The Scope Of 
The  Project 
To crDeaetete3rDm phinoteordea?listic rendering, the artist 
has to  create a 3D world that encapsulates 
whatever is required to be shown in the rendering, 
both in plain  view  and hidden. The foundations of 
the entire project  are carefully constructed using 
3D modeling, and this step iscritical to be 
able todeliver the perfect final finish. The amount 
of work involved depends on the  viewing angle of 
the final image. If the interior of just  one room in a 
house will be visible, then the work  involved is far 
less than if the view will be showing  several rooms 
in a multi-storeyed building.
Number of 
Images
Architectural Rendering Services will start with creating  a 
3D world model of the project environment. This is  time-
consuming and can add to the costs, based on the  
amount of detailing that is involved. In many cases, the  
foundation model that is created for one exterior view can 
be  tweaked and re-used for additional views from slightly  
different angles. In such cases, the cost per view will be  
reduced as the rendering artist can easily create new  
renderings using the same environment.
What this means, in a nutshell, is that the cost per image  
will be reduced if the number of images from similar 
angles  increases.
Surroundings
Another area that can substantially impact the price of the rendering is 
the surroundings  of the project. In order to accurately depict the project 
in 3D, the buildings and  landscape tha t are in the immediate 
neighborhood will also have to be created from  scratch. If your project is 
located in the midst of greenery, this can be as simple as copy-  pasting 
and adding generic landscape elements.. but if your building is on a busy 
street  in downtown Manhattan, for instance, the surrounding buildings 
will also need to be  recreated in order to give a realistic final image. The 
3D Rendering Studio will need to  work overtime on creating 3D 
depictions of other buildings that could also involve a lot of  architectural 
features, which will greatly multiply the time involved and add to the 
costs.  In a similar fashion, renderings of large resorts, entertainment 
parks or business districts  will cost much more than renderings of a 
single building.
This cost  can be  reduced if one chooses to use high-quality site photos for the  
surroundings, instead of creating large 3D environments from scratch. Using a 
drone to  take aerial photos of the view from the angles you desire, and roping in 
the services of an  experienced professional photographer can simplify your work 
and enhance the realistic  quality of your final images. The architectural renderings 
of your proposed project can be  seamlessly blended into the background that 
your photographers have clicked. This will  avoid the cost of creating everything in 
3D, and will also save on time, but you will have to  pay for the services of the 
photographer so you should use this option wisely.
Degree of 
If Pyohuro ctlieontr eis aloolkiisngm for a high degree of photorealism 
and  wants to get an image that looks the same as a 
photograph,  then the 3D artist will have to spend a lot of 
time and effort  filling in the tiny details. Renderings that 
are created quickly  and at lower costs will not give the 
level of precise attention  to the finer details that can be 
expected from a high-quality  rendering. Clients who are 
on a tight budget or want the  images to be done in a 
couple of days’ time will have to  compromise on the level 
of photorealism as well, and its best  to let them know 
about this upfront so that they are not  disappointed with 
the final result!
