3D rendering services interior, exterior, elevation or all three

Start a project

Still images of buildings and rooms that are not built yet. This page explains the kinds of render and helps you pick the one you need.

Overview

3D rendering means building a space on a computer and making pictures of it. Interior views, exterior views and elevations are all renders. They differ in what they show and in who orders them.

Developers order renders to sell a project before it is built. Architects and interior designers order them to get a design approved. If you are not sure which kind you need, start here. Each kind has its own page with the detail. We are a 3D rendering studio in Prabhadevi, Mumbai, and we work with clients across India and abroad.

What it covers

  • 01

    Interior views

    Still images of rooms: living room, kitchen, bedrooms, bathrooms. Used in brochures, on websites and in design presentations.

  • 02

    Exterior and aerial views

    The building seen from the street, from the garden and from above, with its landscape and surroundings.

  • 03

    3D elevations

    The front or outside face of a building as a rendered image, made from the architect's drawings.

  • 04

    Day, golden hour and night

    One finished view delivered in more than one light, with nothing else in the picture changing.

  • 05

    AI on an existing render

    A render you already have, re-lit and refined with AI under our direction, without rendering the scene again.

  • 06

    More from the same model

    The 3D model made for stills can also become a walkthrough film, a 360° tour or an interactive walkthrough.

What 3D rendering covers

A 3D render is a picture made from a 3D model. We build the building or the room on a computer from your drawings, add materials, furniture and light, and place a camera. The result looks like a photograph of a place that does not exist yet. You will also hear it called a 3D view or 3D visualisation.

Most enquiries fall into three kinds. 3D interior rendering shows rooms. 3D exterior rendering shows the building in its setting, including aerial views. 3D elevation rendering shows the front face of a building, and elevation is the word most homeowners and contractors use. We render an elevation from the architect's drawings. We do not design the facade.

Architects who want one studio for a whole presentation should read architectural visualisation.

Which kind of render you need

Start from what the picture has to show, and who has to approve it or buy from it.

A new render, or AI on one you have

If you already hold a finished render, you may not need a new one. AI render enhancement re-lights and refines an existing image under our direction. Day-to-night renders take one view and deliver it for day, golden hour and night, with nothing else in the picture changing.

If the design has changed, or you need a different camera angle, the scene is rendered again.

What decides the price

Stills are quoted per view. A view is one image from one camera position. The charge depends on how much has to be modelled, how detailed the materials, furniture and landscape are, and how many rounds of changes are expected. An exterior usually needs more modelling than a single room, because the building, the landscape and the surroundings all have to be built.

More views of the same space cost less per view, because the model is made once. Re-lighting or enhancing a finished render is quoted per view and per light setting, and involves no new modelling. Our guide to 3D rendering cost in India explains the units and what a quotation should list.

How it runs

  1. 01

    Brief

    You send the drawings, the references and what you need to show.

  2. 02

    Scope and quote

    We confirm the kind of render and the number of views, and send a quote with a schedule.

  3. 03

    Model and draft views

    We build the model and send plain previews, so you can approve the camera angles and the layout.

  4. 04

    Materials and light

    Finishes, furniture, landscape and lighting are set, and you review again.

  5. 05

    Final images

    The finished views are delivered at the size agreed in the quote.

Questions

How much does 3D rendering cost in India?

It is quoted per view. The charge depends on what has to be modelled, the level of detail and the rounds of changes. We do not publish a rate card, because projects differ. Send the drawings and the number of views and we send a quotation.

What is the difference between a 3D view and a 3D elevation?

A 3D view is any still render, inside or outside. A 3D elevation is a render of the front or outside face of a building. Both are made from the same kind of 3D model.

Which files do you need to start?

CAD drawings, PDFs, hand sketches, or a SketchUp, Revit or 3ds Max model. References for the look help. Where something is undecided, we ask before we model it.

What should I ask a 3D rendering company before hiring it?

Ask to see work of the same kind as yours, how many views and revision rounds the quote includes, what size the final images are, and who you will deal with. The questions are the same for a company, a studio or an agency.

Can AI replace a 3D render?

For early ideas, an AI image can be enough. For a design that will be built or sold from, the space has to be modelled accurately, because AI tools change proportions and details between images. We use AI for ideation visuals and to re-light finished renders.

Can the same 3D model be used for a walkthrough?

Yes. The model built for stills can also be used for a walkthrough film, a 360° tour or an interactive walkthrough. The 3D walkthrough page sets out the options.
