# 3D Rendering Process

## Here's how it works.

We believe transparency builds trust. That's why we've created this page to walk you through exactly how we bring your project's vision to life with photorealistic 3D renderings. Our white-glove, relationship-driven approach ensures every step is collaborative, efficient, and tailored to your needs.

Questions about our process? Reach out to [RenderStudio@R3D-Studios.com](mailto:RenderStudio@R3D-Studios.com)

## Pre-Draft: Grey Geometry

Ready in 1-2 weeks

(once all [client assets](https://r3d-studios.com/3d-asset-checklist?hsLang=en) received, depending on size and scope of work)

![Image 1](https://r3d-studios.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Image%201.png?width=1000&height=750&name=Image%201.png)

This is a greyscale/shaded model with no colors, textures, or final lighting. The focus is entirely on **composition, camera angle, and modeling accuracy**. Please review and provide feedback on:

**Camera Angle & Composition**

- Is the desired view/angle correct? (e.g., height, distance, focal point)
- Does the framing capture the key elements you want highlighted?
- Are any important features cut off or poorly positioned?

**Modeling Accuracy**

- Are all architectural elements correct (walls, windows, doors, rooflines, trim, etc.)?
- Do built-ins, cabinetry, fireplaces, or custom features match the plans exactly?
- Are proportions and scale accurate compared to floor plans or site photos?

​**Overall Layout & Flow**

- Does the spatial arrangement feel correct?
- Are room sizes and relationships between spaces accurate?

​**Any Missing Elements**

- Are there any structural or architectural features missing that should be included? 

## Draft 1: First Color Draft

Ready in 1-1.5 weeks

(depending on amount of edits requested and timeliness of comment submission)

![Image 2](https://r3d-studios.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Image%202.png?width=1536&height=1151&name=Image%202.png)

Now colors, materials, and basic lighting are applied. As a reminder, angle changes are harder at this point, so please take that into consideration. Please review and provide feedback on:

**Material Selection & Accuracy**

- Do exterior siding, roofing, stone, brick, and trim match your specified selections?
- Are interior finishes (flooring, countertops, cabinet colors, wall paint) correct?
- Are furniture pieces aligned with your specifications?

**Color Accuracy**

- Are there any colors that appear off or need adjustment? 

**Basic Lighting & Mood**

- Does the time of day (daytime, dusk, evening) match your request?
- Is the overall brightness and mood appropriate?
- Are shadows falling naturally?

**Reflections & Glass**

- Do windows reflect the environment appropriately?
- Is glass transparency/tint correct?

## Draft 2: Second (Final) Color Draft

Ready in 1-1.5 weeks

(depending on amount of edits requested and timeliness of comment submission)

![Image 3](https://r3d-studios.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Image%203.png?width=1536&height=1151&name=Image%203.png)

This is the near-final version with furniture, accessories, landscaping, and final lighting refinements. Please review and provide feedback on:

**Furniture & Virtual Staging**

- Is the furniture style and scale appropriate for the target market?
- Are placements logical and appealing?
- Any pieces you’d like added, removed, or swapped?

​**Landscaping & Exterior Details**

- Do plants, trees, mulch, and hardscaping match the community style?
-  Are seasonal elements (flowers, leaves) appropriate?

**Basic Lighting & Mood**

- Does the time of day (daytime, dusk, evening) match your request?
- Is the overall brightness and mood appropriate?
- Are shadows falling naturally?

​**Lifestyle & Accessory Details**

- Do towels, artwork, pillows, rugs, and décor enhance the space without overwhelming it?
- Are lifestyle touches (books, fruit bowls, etc.) tasteful and on-brand?

**Final Lighting & Atmosphere**

- Are interior/exterior lights balanced and realistic?
- Any digital dusk enhancements or special lighting requests?

**Overall Polish**

- Any small distractions (floating objects, odd reflections, etc.)?
- Does the image feel inviting and ready to use in marketing?

*​This is your last opportunity for changes before final high-resolution delivery.*

## Final Delivery

Ready in 1-1.5 weeks

(depending on amount of edits requested and timeliness of comment submission)

![Image 4](https://r3d-studios.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Image%204.png?width=1536&height=1151&name=Image%204.png)

At this stage, the project is considered complete. Any additional edit requests after final delivery will be treated as a new revision round and will incur additional fees, ranging from minor adjustment costs to the equivalent of a new rendering, depending on the scope of changes requested.

This ensures we maintain efficiency while delivering the premium quality you expect.

**Note:** If you also contracted for an animation, that process will begin once all final assets have been approved and delivered.
