Frequently asked questions

How much does an architectural rendering cost?

$150–$900 per still image is the usual band, with interiors and heavily populated street scenes at the top. Hourly rates are $30–$85 in the US and EU and $15–$40 in MENA, Africa and South Asia.

What drives rendering price up?

Entourage and context, interior detail, night or dusk lighting, high resolution, animation, and open-ended revision rounds. Approving the camera and a clay draft first keeps the expensive stage from being repeated.

What do I need to supply?

A usable 3D model or drawings to build one from, a reference board showing the look you want, material specifications, and the output resolution. Rendering briefs without reference imagery are the ones that need three revision rounds.

How many revisions should be included?

Two rounds is standard: one after the clay draft and one on the final image. Anything beyond that is normally billed hourly, so agree the count before work starts.
