Why 3D Rendering For Exterior Views?

There are many different ways to showcase an exterior view of a place – be it for architectural designs, landscape designs, event layout, developments proposal etc. Exterior views can be shown by sketches, watercolour paintings, blueprint layouts, rendered sectional or elevational views etc and they each communicate a certain set of information to your target audience. However, there is nothing more convincing and complete than a 3D photorealistic render, as photorealistic renderings can showcase more details in the most accurate way possible.

It also goes without saying that a 3D rendering usually costs a lot more compared to a 2D drawing, however it will be a worthwhile investment as 3D rendering can help to bring your ideas across in the clearest and most efficient way possible. In the long run, it may also save you more money and time as ideas can be understood sooner to prevent any mistakes or misunderstandings throughout the project progression.

Cost Difference Between 2D and 3D Exterior Images

As mentioned above, the cost of a 2D drawing/rendering is usually significantly cheaper than that of a 3D rendering. The price difference between a 2D and 3D image can easily be 2 to 3 times more, as more work and man hours are usually required for a 3D rendering to be developed. To achieve a photorealistic 3D rendered image, it will typically need detailed modelling works, texturing works, planting placements, accessories placement, lighting set ups, test rendering and rendering hours, post production works. There are many steps and skills required to achieve a photorealistic 3D image, hence the price would usually be much higher as compared to a 2D image which requires less amount of skill set and time involved.

Each perspective will also have a different price range, depending on the view and the amount of modelling and texturing works required.

Is Having A 3D Rendered Image Much Better As Compared To A 2D Image?

A 2D image definitely has its benefit – especially during construction phase or technical approval phases where minute and accurate details have to be seen and signed off. 2D images also serve various purposes like seeing proportions on a flat image, comparing relations between spaces etc. However, 2D images will usually be harder to understand especially for layman who are not trained in the design and architectural field. With a 3D rendered image, it is just like seeing a photograph where people can easily understand a concept or complicated building at just one glance. There is no need for second guessing on what a 2D image is trying to show or portray.

With 3D renderings, it is easier to communicate and sell an idea, cut down any miscommunications or misunderstandings, see changes done in an efficient and clear manner along with many other benefits. Although the cost of getting a 3D rendering done may be higher, it will actually help to save much time, trouble and even costs in the long run.
