When renders beat photos
Staging needs a photo of a finished room. When the house isn't finished, or the room is about to change, a render is the way to show it. Builders use renders to presell homes and to show finish packages. Designers use them to get a client to sign off on a scheme before anything is ordered. Agents use them for new construction listings.
Rooms we render
Kitchens
Cabinet style and color, counters, backsplash, island seating, hardware and lighting.
Great rooms
Ceiling height, fireplace walls, windows and how the space opens to the kitchen.
Primary suites
Bedroom layout plus the bath: tile, vanity, shower glass and tub.
Remodels
A room as it will look after the work, drawn from the designer's plan.
Working from selections
Send the finish schedule or the selections sheet with product names where you have them. We match colors and textures as closely as a render allows and flag anything that's hard to judge on screen, such as two close shades of white. For builders offering packages, we can render one room in two or three finishes from the same camera, which costs less than separate views.
What we need
- Floor plans with dimensions, and interior elevations for the walls in view
- The finish schedule or selections, with product names if possible
- Furniture direction, or permission to style the room ourselves
- North marked on the plan, so daylight falls the right way
Questions
Do I need a 3D model?
No. Plans and elevations are enough. If your architect or designer has a model in SketchUp, Revit or a similar tool, it saves time.
Can a render show an exact product?
Close, in most cases. Send a link to the product and we'll use the maker's images as reference. Complex patterns may not match exactly.
Have photos or plans ready? Send the listing photos or drawings, tell us the rooms and the style, and we'll reply with a written quote.
