# 3D Rendering Asset Checklist

## Let's gather some assets

Providing accurate and complete project assets ensures that renderings are visually precise, aligned with your design intent, and delivered on schedule. Below is a detailed guide outlining required files, their sources, and why each is essential to the rendering process.

## 3D Asset Checklist Summary

- 3D Model (RVT, FBX, DXF, OBJ, 3DS, IFC, or SKP)
- Full Construction & Landscape Sets (PDF)
- Exterior Material Schedule
- Furniture & Finish Plans
- Reflected Ceiling Plan (RCP)

- Lighting Schedule
- Appliance Schedule (if applicable)
- Mood Boards & Art Selections
- Elevation Plans

## 3D Files or 3D Models

- **Accepted File Types:**  
  Autodesk formats: `.RVT`, `.FBX`, `.DXF`, `.OBJ`, `.3DS`, `.IFC`  
  SketchUp format: `.SKP`
- **Where to Obtain:**  
  Your **architectural or design team** typically creates these models during the schematic or design development phase. If your firm does not retain the original 3D assets, check with the **project architect, design consultant, or BIM manager**.

- **Why It’s Important:**  
  These files contain the core geometry and spatial data of the project — walls, structures, and major design elements. Having a 3D model reduces production time, improves dimensional accuracy, and prevents inconsistencies between architectural drawings and the final visualization
- **If Unavailable:**  
  R3D Studios can build a new 3D model from construction documents and elevations for a nominal fee, based on project scope and complexity.

## Architectural Assets

**Required Files:**

- Full construction set (latest version) in **PDF format**
- Full landscape set (if applicable)
- Building exterior material schedules

- **Where to Obtain:**  
  These are provided by your **project architect or general contractor**. They are typically housed in your project documentation system (e.g., Procore, BIM 360, or shared design drive).
- **Why It’s Important:**  
  Construction and landscape sets provide final design intent and technical accuracy for exterior modeling. Material schedules define textures, finishes, and surface treatments, allowing renderings to accurately represent real-world materials and lighting interactions.

## Interior Design Assets

- #### **Furniture Plans and Schedules**
  
  **Where to Obtain:** Interior designer or FF&E coordinator.  
  **Why It’s Important:** Identifies final furniture layouts and selections for each space, ensuring all rendered interiors reflect the true arrangement and scale of furnishings.
- #### **Finish Plans and Schedules**
  
  **Where to Obtain:** Interior designer or architecture firm.  
  **Why It’s Important:** Specifies materials such as flooring, paint, tile, millwork, and countertops. These details define the visual tone and realism of interior renderings.
- #### **Reflected Ceiling Plan (RCP)**
  
  **Where to Obtain:** Architect or lighting designer.  
  **Why It’s Important:** Shows ceiling structure, lighting layout, and decorative elements — critical for accurate light modeling and ceiling geometry.
- #### **Lighting Schedule**
  
  **Where to Obtain:** Electrical engineer or lighting consultant.  
  **Why It’s Important:** Provides fixture types, locations, and color temperatures used to simulate real-world lighting conditions and accurate interior ambiance.

- #### **Appliance Schedule (if applicable)**
  
  **Where to Obtain:** Interior designer, procurement team, or project specifications sheet.  
  **Why It’s Important:** Ensures kitchen and utility areas include correct appliance models, finishes, and proportions.
- #### **Interior Design Mood Boards**
  
  **Where to Obtain:** Interior design team or marketing lead.  
  **Why It’s Important:** Communicates the project’s aesthetic direction through color palettes, art selection, and material combinations. Mood boards guide texture creation and help match brand tone.
- #### **Elevation Plans**
  
  **Where to Obtain:** Architecture firm.  
  **Why It’s Important:** Provides vertical dimensions and wall details not always visible in plan views, ensuring cabinetry, millwork, and window heights align precisely with design intent.
