[ 01 ] How we quote
Priced per view, with the scope fixed in writing.
We do not publish a price list, because a number quoted without seeing your model would be a guess dressed up as a quote. What we can do is tell you exactly what moves the number.
[ 02 ] What increases cost
Number of views
The first view of a scene carries the modelling and lighting setup. Additional views of the same scene cost substantially less than the first, which is why a five-view set is not five times a single view.
Model quality
A complete, correctly built model renders quickly. One that needs walls thickened, junctions resolved or soffits invented costs rebuild time before any rendering starts.
Context requirements
A house in a field needs almost no context. A tower in a dense street needs neighbouring buildings modelled to real height and setback, and that is often the largest single line item.
People and styling
Populated scenes, detailed FF&E and heavy styling all add time. A clean architectural view is cheaper than a lifestyle scene of the same room.
Turnaround
Standard scheduling is included in the quoted price. Compressing a set into a few days means reordering other work and is priced accordingly.
[ 03 ] What brings it down
Reuse the scene
Once a scene is built and lit, extra angles, material options and day/dusk variants are comparatively cheap. Plan the set rather than commissioning views one at a time.
Send a clean model
Correct layer naming, real wall thickness and resolved junctions can remove a meaningful share of the setup cost before we start.
Decide cameras early
Camera sign-off before lighting is free. A camera change after final lighting is the most expensive revision in the process.
Use backplates for product work
For furniture and product ranges, building one convincing room and compositing the range into it costs far less than rendering each product in its own environment.
[ 04 ] Priced by service
What we quote against.
Each service is scoped differently. Exterior work is priced by view and context complexity; product work is usually priced by SKU and colourway once a scene exists.
[ 05 ] Frequently asked
Why are there no prices listed on this page?
Because a genuine number depends on the model, the view count and the context requirement, and a per-view figure quoted without seeing those would be misleading. Send a model and a view list and you will get a fixed written price, usually within a working day.
Is pricing per view or per project?
Per view, with the scope fixed in writing. That means the price does not move unless the scope moves, and you can see exactly what an extra angle or an extra material option costs before committing to it.
What is included in a quoted view?
Modelling from your file, materials, lighting, a camera and lighting approval round, a draft review round, and final delivery at print and web resolution. Additional revision rounds are quoted separately rather than bundled in advance.
Do you work on retainer?
For practices with continuous work, yes — a monthly allocation of studio time is usually cheaper per view than project-by-project quoting, and it gets you priority in the schedule. It only makes sense above a certain steady volume, and we will say so if you are below it.
