How is 3D Rendering Price settled and on what uses?

Being one of the fastest growing industries, 3D rendering is becoming a vital service to a wide range of businesses and services. It is an effective communication tool for all, and helps to communicate ideas in a clear and concise manner to ensure project goals are met. 3D rendering uses the latest softwares to develop photo realistic images that are irreplaceable by traditional drawing methods. There are multiple benefits to engaging 3D rendering services, where the costs are significantly lower that actual prototyping methods to communicate especially on aesthetics and ergonomic matters. This is an important factor to any business who wishes to lower risks and get things done efficiently.

 

Factors affect the pricing

There are many factors will affect the price for 3D rendering. Here are the main factors below:

• Manpower involved
• Clients requirement
• Modelling complexity
• Texturing
• Lighting and camera angle
• Post production
• Resolution
• Timeline for the project

Before looking for a rendering company, it is important to have a detailed brief and requirements of what you need. This helps any 3D studio to give you an accurate quote right from the start of the project. Should the brief and objectives be unclear, this may result in additional revisions throughout the rendering process, and may in turn incur in additional charges.

For projects that require high level of detailed modelling and image resolution, this will affect the manpower required and the costs involved. Complex projects will require a more experienced 3D artist to complete the task, and there will definitely be more time involved to complete a complex project. This will result in a higher cost for complex perspectives.

The timeline given to the 3D rendering studio to complete a rendering with also affect the 3D rendering price. Should you require a rushed perspective to be done within a short timeframe of 3 to 5 days, this will increase the cost of the perspective as well as the 3D rendering team will need to prioritise and rush out any urgent works. However, based on our experience in the 3D industry – we will usually advise against any rushed work as there will not be sufficient time for any refinements and cross checking of information for improvements. To achieve the best rendering quality, we will advise all clients to provide sufficient time for the rendering process.

5 Things before choosing your rendering company

As mentioned above, 3D rendering prices may vary extensively based on how a 3D rendering company charges. Thus, it will be ideal to have a budget in mind before selecting a rendering company. Here are also some factors that you may take into consideration before selecting your preferred rendering company.

No fixed price

Always be wary should a rendering company quote a fixed rendering price before looking at your project details. As every project is unique and different due to the different modelling works required, and experienced company should look at your project to understand the scope of works first before providing you with a detailed quotation.

Clear requirement

It is vital to provide a clear objective or check list for any 3D rendering studio to deliver. It is much more efficient for both sides to have a clear understanding on what needs to be delivered in the final art work. Thus, the team will be able to meet your expectations accordingly.

Low price

It is understandable that having a good quality rendering at a low prince will be the most attractive to all businesses. However, due to the long hours and a team with niche skills required, it is almost impossible to have a 3D rendering done at a very low cost. Always be careful as some renderers may use stock images and produce low quality modelling and rendering. Any experienced 3D rendering studio will understand that every project is different, and different scope of works will be required for each perspective. Hence, a slightly longer time will be required for our experienced team to ensure each element is the 3D render is modelled and customised as per designer’s instructions.

Quality of work

3D rendering prices may vary drastically with different rendering firms/freelance 3D renderers. For anyone who has no experience with engaging a 3D renderer, it will be easy to think that all the 3D renderings look similar and that one should just go for the cheaper option. However, the price of the renderings will directly affect other factors like – details of work, quality control, rendering and post production skills, communication etc. Do be assured that with a higher budget for each rendering, the details and quality of the renderings will definitely be met, as there will be an experienced team of renderers and a dedicated project manager to oversee all works. A good 3D rendering studio will also cross check the renders with your comments to ensure your vision and ideas are well reflected.

How your 3D Rendering Price can be reduced?

To help in some cost reduction for your 3D rendering work, here are some of the things you can take note of and do to help reduce the costs as much as possible. Firstly, it will help greatly if you’re professional and have any existing 3D models ready for the rendering studio to work from. It is important to have a 3D model that is more or less developed and ready to use for rendering purposes. Rendering studios will tend to lower their costs should there be an existing 3D file available for use, as it will cut down some man hours as compared to building the full 3D model from scratch.

Also, it is important to compare a few quotation rates and the work quality before you decide on which rendering company to proceed with. The 3D rendering price is derived depending on the type of work and software required. Hence, it will help greatly if you are clear of your objectives right from the start of the project. This will help a rendering studio to quote you based on the specifics of what you require, instead of overcharging you due to unclear briefs and direction.

What are the different advantages of using 3D Rendering?

There are many advantages of using 3D rendering in your business or marketing tools. 3D renderings are also known as photorealistic renderings which can help to communicate efficiently in your marketing resources.

Imagination is the key

It is important to understand how great projects and works are derived from imagination and ideas that may seem too hard to achieve right from the get go. Hence, it is vital to transform great ideas to something more tangible via visualisation works. With a trusted 3D rendering service provider, you can be assured that your imagination and ideas can be translated into a photorealistic image – which in turn can help to communicate and sell.

Adaptability

3D rendering can also help in increasing the flexibility and adaptability of your projects. Very often ideas are only communicated via 2D sketches/drawings and words that may not be the most efficient in portraying some areas of the project. With photorealistic renderings in place, it will help to give you an overall idea of how the project will look like as an overall image. It also gives you the opportunity to make any refinements before money is being put in to build out the exact designs/ideas. It is important to have this stage of refinement and adapting to changes for any great projects to be built.

Time saving

Many designers and architects use 3D rendering as a quick way to save time in communicating ideas. Supposed that a presentation is just a few days away, and there is no time for the architects and designers to come up with detailed drawings and sketches, 3D perspective renderings will be a quick way to show the overall ergonomics and design details in a space.

As 3D photorealistic renderings are the most efficient tools to communicate design ideas, it also helps to save time in the execution of the project and prevent delays due to misinterpretation of sketches or 2D detail drawings.

Cost Saving

With photorealistic renderings, it helps to identify any problems with the design and workability of a project before the project is being built. Rectifications can be made and tested via 3D modelling works, which will be much lower in costs as compared to making changes on the actual site/building works.
