For architects & developers
Architectural Rendering Services
Our architectural rendering services give firms competition-grade 3D visualization for planning submissions, design competitions, and sales, from an early massing study to a fully photoreal hero shot. We read drawings fluently, work in Revit, ArchiCAD, SketchUp, and Rhino, and deliver images partners are proud to put their name on. Renders start at $199 per view.
We speak architecture
Sections, RCPs, schedules, GA drawings, send what you'd send a colleague. We interpret intent, not just geometry.
Massing to photoreal
Quick white-model massing for design reviews, or fully lit photoreal shots for the brochure. Same team, one continuous pipeline.
Sign-off you can stand behind
Accurate proportions, real materials, and defensible daylighting, images that hold up in front of a planning committee.
3D architectural rendering for planning & sales
Architectural rendering does different jobs at different stages. Early on, a clean massing or white-model image helps a committee or client read form and scale without being distracted by materials. Later, a photoreal render carries the marketing weight, the hero shot on the hoarding, the brochure spread, the competition board.
We support the whole arc: planning and permitting submissions where accuracy and daylight are scrutinised, design competitions where the image has to tell a story in one glance, and sales and marketing where atmosphere and aspiration close the deal. Whatever the stage, the modelling underneath is precise enough to survive a technical review.
- Planning & permitting submission visuals
- Design competition boards and hero images
- Developer sales and marketing renders
- Verified views and daylight/context studies
Architectural visualization, from massing to photoreal
Architectural visualization is the broader craft around the single render, the sequence of images that communicates a whole design. We build one coordinated 3D scene and pull multiple outputs from it: massing diagrams, sectional perspectives, material close-ups, and the final photoreal exterior and interior views. Because they share a source model, the set stays perfectly consistent.
This is deliberately one page, not two. 'Architectural rendering' and 'architectural visualization' describe the same service at different resolutions, and treating them as one keeps your project coordinated and your quote simple. If you need a specific diagram type, axonometric, exploded, or a phased construction sequence, it comes out of the same scene.
What architectural rendering is used for
Firms commission architectural rendering to win and progress work. Planning submissions need accurate, defensible views; design competitions need a single arresting image that carries the concept; developer marketing needs aspiration that reserves units; and stakeholder or board presentations need clarity that builds confidence in a scheme.
We tailor the render to the job, a restrained, honest study for planning, or a cinematic hero for the brochure, from the same underlying model.

Why Smart 3D Render
Studio quality, without the agency overhead
Most studios in this space hide their prices and quote by the discovery call. We do the opposite, published rates, a fixed quote up front, and a fast, predictable pipeline.
Transparent, published pricing
Rates are on the site, no discovery call needed to find out what a render costs. You get a fixed quote in 24 hours and pay exactly that.
72-hour first draft
A predictable three-day turnaround as standard, with a 24-hour rush lane for single hero shots, not the one-to-two weeks most studios quote.
Full rights, no watermarks
Two revision rounds and unrestricted commercial usage are included in every price. No watermarks, no licences to renew, no subscription.
One artist, start to finish
Your project stays with one named artist who reads drawings fluently and knows your brief, from first review to final file.
We work from whatever you have
CAD, BIM, sketches, photos or a moodboard, we build or clean the model. Revit, SketchUp, Rhino, ArchiCAD, OBJ and IFC all welcome.
Fixed scope, no surprises
The quote is itemised and fixed before we start. What you approve is what you pay, revisions and export formats included.

FAQ
Questions, answered
Concept and massing views start at $199; fully photoreal, materialed views start at $349. Firms with ongoing volume can move to a monthly retainer with a dedicated artist and the best per-view rate. Final pricing depends on complexity, number of views, and turnaround.
