Typically, we begin by discussing with you the project scope (level of detail, size,
complexity, schedule, and style). A review of architectural or
construction drawings, or even a site visit is made, and then a quote is given
to you.
Our illustrations are usually created using CAD drawings, elevation prints,
photographs, or site/landscape plans. Additionally, color and
texture samples and digital images may be used to tailor the rendering to your
design.
Generally, when the drawing is nearly complete, we will provide you an
image for review and comments via email, FTP, or print-outs. More frequent
updates and reviews can be made if necessary. All changes are made accordingly
before final delivery.
If a 3D model is created, we can develop several views for your selection
before completing the rendering with appropriate textures, landscaping,
lighting, backgrounds, people, vehicles, and other elements as desired.
Preliminary renderings, which can be hand-delivered, faxed, e-mailed, or via
FTP downloads, are produced for your review. There is no additional charge for
these progress viewings.
Depending on scope and complexity, 3D models can typically be completed in from 2 days
(single house) to 2
weeks (commercial building). For high volume residential projects, it actually
requires less time to finish each home. Site plans and elevations can usually be completed in 2 to 4 days. Rush
services are also available.
Although we still meet with our local clients
and even travel on some distant projects, we typically communicate with emails,
telephone calls, and faxes so that the entire illustration process can be done
remotely. Technology has allowed us to provide immediate communication
and real time updates to our customers. You can also easily download your digital
images from our FTP site.
We have found that these methods sufficiently meeting all of our customers' needs
from coast to coast in a convenient, cost-effective, reliable, and productive manner.
Upon completion, you are given the digital files via email or
FTP download. Additionally, if prints are needed, they are delivered to the
customer at an additional cost. We can also provide larger prints (13"x19") or boards
(24"x36") if desired.
Rendering House
provides high-quality architectural illustrations at reasonable prices.
Our prices are often less than fees of traditional watercolorist and 3D computer
modelers. Each project is priced on an individual basis depending on the level
of detail, style,
scope, and volume. We give free, no-obligation quotes, and can provide
various illustration options based on your project scope and budget. For
examples, please see our
Residential Price Page.
Some of our other services include: photo-editing and enhancements, in-house
printing (large board printing and color laser printing),
brochure design and formatting, and image formatting for web pages and thumbnails.
