Architectural 3D visualisation

A photorealistic 3D rendering shows a development as it will be, long before construction starts. It is often the first image a buyer sees, on a brochure, a site hoarding or an online listing. Its quality shapes how the whole project is perceived: light, materials, atmosphere, views and the credibility of the landscaping.

In this section, we share our method for ordering and delivering effective real estate 3D renderings: which documents to gather, how to choose viewpoints, interior versus exterior shots, review cycles, delivery formats, and uses for off-plan sales as well as architecture competitions. These articles are written for developers, architects and marketing teams who need images that sell.
