3D Rendering Price Index: What Studios Charge in 2026

What do 3D rendering studios charge, by type of image?

3D rendering studios charge from $9 for a 2D floor plan to $1,200 for an aerial view, going by the prices they publish. The table gives the lowest, median and highest published price for each service in Q3 2026, beside this studio's own price.

Most of these are starting prices, so the median is the median entry price, not the typical invoice. The 3D rendering cost guide explains what moves a quote above the starting price.

What does an interior rendering cost at each studio?

An interior rendering costs $99 to $700 at the 12 studios that publish a price, with a median of $350. The spread comes from what is built for the price: a simple room from a template at the low end, a fully modelled and art-directed room at the high end.

What does an exterior rendering cost at each studio?

An exterior rendering costs $149 to $850 at the 12 studios that publish a price, with a median of $450. Several studios price by tier, so a commercial building or a large development costs more than the figure shown.

What does an aerial rendering cost at each studio?

An aerial rendering costs $350 to $1,200 at the 7 studios that publish a price, with a median of $900. It is the most expensive still image on every list that includes one, because the whole site and its surroundings are in view.

What does a 3D floor plan cost at each studio?

A 3D floor plan costs $19 to $800 at the 10 studios that publish a price, with a median of $125. The cheapest are redraws in a standard style for property listings. The dearest are modelled and furnished as marketing images for a development.

What does a 2D floor plan cost?

A 2D floor plan costs $9 to $100 at the 7 studios that publish a price, with a median of $49.

What does a product rendering cost at each studio?

A product rendering on a plain background costs $99 to $195 at the 4 studios that publish a price, with a median of $165. Fewer studios publish a product price than an architectural one, and some charge a separate fee to build the 3D model.

What does virtual staging cost at each studio?

Virtual staging by a designer costs $23 to $49 at the 7 studios that publish a price, with a median of $30. AI staging tools cost less and are not in this table.

What does virtual renovation cost?

Virtual renovation, where floors, walls or fittings are changed in the photograph, costs $5 to $139 at the 5 studios that publish a price, with a median of $69.

What does 3D animation cost at each studio?

3D animation costs $25 to $75 a second at the studios that publish a rate by length. Others publish a starting price for a whole film, so the two kinds are listed apart.

What does a second view of the same scene cost?

A second view of the same scene costs less than the first at most studios, because the 3D model is already built. Four studios publish the figure, and the discount runs from nothing to 40%.

What is included in the published price?

The published price includes one to five revision rounds, depending on the studio, and delivery in two days to two weeks. The table sets out what each studio states on the same page as its price.

Where does Smart 3D Render sit in the index?

Smart 3D Render sits at or below the median for the images that need modelling, and above it for listing work. Its interior view is $299 against a median of $350, its exterior view $449 against $450, and its aerial view $699 against $900. Its 3D floor plan ($149) and virtual staging ($39) cost more than the median, because the plans are modelled and furnished from the architect's drawings and the staging is done by a designer.

3D rendering prices for every service this studio offers are on the pricing page, with an estimator that works out a project total. What each service covers is on the 3D rendering services page.

Which studios do not publish their prices?

Most rendering studios do not publish a price. On 30 September 2026 no price of their own was found on the pricing, cost or service pages we read at these sixteen: Alden Studios, Blinqlab Direct, Brick Visual, CYLIND, Designblendz, Eight Station, Fortes Vision, Lunas, Neoscape, NoTriangle Studio, Omega Render, Rendimension, Renderings.com, Transparent House, Xpress Rendering and Yantram Studio. Several of them publish guides to market prices, which are ranges for the industry and not the studio's own rates. Render Atelier offers a price guide in exchange for company details.

How is the price index compiled?

• Every price was read on the studio's own website, on the page linked from its name, on the date shown. Nothing comes from a directory, a review site or another studio's article.
• Only a studio's own prices count. A range that a studio gives for the market is left out.
• The figure is the entry price for one image, plan or photo in US dollars. A price marked "from" is a starting price.
• The median leaves Smart 3D Render out, so our own price does not move the figure it is compared with.
• Maverick Frame bills by the hour, and its per-view figures are its own estimates of hours at its hourly rate.
• Studios that price only in another currency, by credits or by subscription are not included.
• The index is read again every quarter, and the date at the top of the page changes when it is.

A studio whose price has changed, or that publishes prices and is missing, can write to [email protected] and the entry will be corrected at the next reading.
