FAQS


To begin a visualization or animation project, we need your 3D model, or drawings if a model isn’t available, plus a clear brief outlining mood, materials, and priorities. To make this simple, we use a proven framework that helps you structure all the critical input right from the start. Our team of qualified architects interprets this information, updates or refines models if details are missing, and ensures we capture your intent correctly.

We can seamlessly handle raw 3D files from all major architectural design software, including Rhino, Revit, Archicad, AutoCAD, and SketchUp. You don’t need to worry about export settings—we take care of the entire process. Our workflow is always tailored to your project, ensuring that future geometry updates are smooth and efficient. Our team is also prepared to model additional elements. For masterplan projects with less-refined massing models, we can quickly generate fully detailed building blocks thanks to our in-house tools and a wide range of architectural façade presets.

Yes. We support both architects and real estate developers worldwide. For architects, our visuals are used in competitions, pitches, and design reviews. We’ve collaborated with studios such as Gensler, Snøhetta, UNS, and Zaha Hadid Architects to create competition-winning renders. For developers, our animations and content help sell listings faster, attract investors, and generate leads trusted by clients like JLL, CBRE, Compass, and Emaar. Our long-term partnerships prove that animation-led storytelling supports both design culture and the property market.

Traditional workflows across the industry often take weeks, with 3–4 feedback rounds for a few final images. Our Impression Package eliminates this: after one detailed briefing, we deliver up to 15 high-quality renders in just five days. These cover aerials, interiors, lifestyle shots, and close-ups, giving you a wide selection to use immediately. Instead of micromanaging revisions, you get more content, faster, at a better price point. It’s a fast-track system designed for pitches and tight deadlines.

Yes. Many of our most recognized projects were created specifically for competitions. We know how international juries evaluate proposals, and we design visuals that highlight clarity, concept, and atmosphere. Rather than focusing on hyper-polished renders, we create compelling imagery that supports your story. Our experience with Shigeru Ban, Snøhetta, UNS, MVRDV, and MAD Architects demonstrates that smart visualization plays a key role in winning approvals and recognition.

Ideally, we’d receive your final model 1 week before the project starts. From there, we typically require 2 weeks to develop renderings, produce multiple sketches, and refine the final outputs. However, with a 30-person team and the capacity to manage 40–50 projects concurrently, we’re able to react quickly—delivering high-quality visuals that elevate your jury presentation.

We help by shifting your presentations from static renderings to motion-led storytelling. Instead of two or three perfect renders, we provide diverse content packages: animations, cinemagraphs, and branded videos. These make your project more relevant, understandable, memorable, and persuasive. Architects and developers consistently tell us their meetings run smoother when animations do half the talking.

Renderings typically range from €500–€3,000 per image, depending on complexity, level of detail, and deadline. Animations vary more widely because they involve storyboarding, motion design, VFX, 2D graphics, and editing. For competition entries, we often assemble streamlined packages that fit tight timelines and budgets. Marketing projects are generally priced according to the number of images and the animation’s length and complexity. For large-scale developments, a fully produced animation is quoted individually.

Yes. Once we understand your project’s size, deliverables, and deadlines, we prepare a transparent, modular estimate. This way, you know exactly what you’re paying for, whether it’s a single image, a competition package, or an animation. Our proposals are designed to give you flexibility, so you can adjust the scope as your project evolves.

A single rendering usually takes about one week. For a complete package with multiple renderings, the process is typically 2–3 weeks, depending on scale and complexity. Animations require more time, usually 4–8 weeks. Across all timelines, our workflows are built to balance speed with consistent quality.
