Our Experience-Shaped 3D Rendering Service

Vondel en Zwaan, Netherlands - Storytelling Architecture 3D Rendering 6

As a boutique CGI studio guided by years of robust work with international real estate developers, architects, and interior designers, we’ve developed a solid 3D architectural visualization workflow. We keep it simple and organized but flexible.

It lets us create photorealistic 3D renderings with a storytelling approach for public, residential, and commercial projects of any size and scale. 

Who Trusted Us?

Driven by the 3D Rendering Process and 3D Results

Some 3D architectural rendering studios are fuelled by process, others by results. At RNDR, we know both support each other and are essential for delivering what particular project renderings require. That is why every project’s success in our studio depends on these two factors. We bring together both project managers, who are the process guardians with communication skills, and 3D rendering artists with architectural and artistic expertise to develop a variety of 3D renderings from 3D models, blueprints, and sketches.

Turn Ideas Into Visual Masterpieces - with Pro 3D Architectural Rendering Techniques

Our Process of Architectural 3D Rendering Creation

Every type of project is unique, every building or space is distinct, with its own set of ideas and goals. While working on the project, we use 3D architectural rendering techniques and advanced software to bring architectural designs to life that are aligned with your rendering requirements.

We visualize architectural floor plans, technical specifications, and project details by creating a 3D model where everything is in place, into impactful, realistic 3D visuals – perfect for presenting your design ideas to clients, used during marketing and sales presentations, and for development approvals.

  • Kick-Off Meeting: We’ll align on your goals, audience, needs of the project, and the standout features that define your architectural concept and create 3D visualizations based on that.

Step 2: Developing Your Visual Story

  • Composing the Shots: Setting the Scene Angles and Framing: Our artists propose 2–3 camera angles per each point of view and develop image ratios based on your input. If you’ve already chosen your preferred POVs, we dive right into creating preliminary renders. (Estimated: 2–5 days)

    How Much Notice Do We Need?

    The Sooner, The Better

    Advance booking helps us deliver our best. 

    We are often booked out for a few weeks in advance, which is why we recommend 3–4 weeks’ notice before starting a new project. This lead time helps us ensure proper planning, top-quality results, and smooth collaboration.

    Have a tight deadline? Don’t worry – we know things move fast. Get in touch – we understand urgent needs and will do everything we can to accommodate your timeline.

    Project Timelines

    How Fast Can We Move?

    Timelines vary – but we keep things moving.

    Turnaround time depends on two key factors: your project’s complexity and scale, and the speed at which feedback is provided.

    Here’s a general timeline guideline:

    • 5–15 renderings: Delivered in 2-3 weeks
    • 15–20 renderings: Delivered in 3-4 weeks
    • 3D animations or real estate virtual tours: Typically require 4–8 weeks

    Quick feedback (within 24–48 hours) helps us stay on schedule. Delays can occur in multi-team workflows, so the more prompt the communication is, the faster we can deliver. Request a free consultation for a precise timeline tailored to your project – we’ll map everything out clearly.

    How is Your Project Managed?

    A Clear, Guided Process

    Every step of the way.

    Despite our boutique size, from start to finish, your project will be managed by a dedicated project coordinator who ensures everything runs smoothly.

    We provide:

    • Step-by-step guides and checklists
    • Schedule with timelines provided before starting the project
    • Easy-to-follow file submission instructions
    • Organized feedback rounds to keep revisions efficient

    Our goal is to make the rendering process seamless – so you always know what’s next without chasing updates.
