7 Common Mistakes to Avoid while Working with
your 3D Rendering Partner
3D architectural renderings are undoubtedly a
great idea. The stunning presentations that are
made possible through this medium are handy
marketing tools for builders and developers.
Architects, too, can showcase their designs and
explain their concepts more clearly through 3D
renderings. To get the best results, you should
work with a 3D Rendering Partner who is
experienced and versatile, and willing to go the
extra mile to give you breathtakingly
photorealistic images. There are a few things
that your 3D rendering partner would like you to
know so that you can both be pleased with the
final results! Here are some of them. Be Clear
About Your Expectations At the very outset, you
should be clear about your timeline and how many
drafts you would expect. Each selection would
have an associated cost, and you should discuss
budget considerations as well as upfront. Ask
your renderers how flexible they would be and
how willing they are to change camera angles and
lighting according to your inputs.

Do plan your Schedules properly!
We understand that you are under pressure to meet
your deadlines. However, remember that Renderers
arent your Designers, so unless you have at
least 95 of your design details inputs for 3D
rendering services in place, please do not
expect them to guess which fittings and fixtures
you need, or what facade you have in mind. They
can work faster and give you a better visual if
you do not rush the project over, expecting them
to start work before the design is even
completed! Fill in as much detail as You Can To
eliminate guesswork and ensure that the image
created looks like the image thats in your
head, please make sure that you give your 3D
Rendering Team sufficient details. Ideally, they
should have a full set of final architectural
drawings, exterior information like paint colors
and textures and window finishes, and interior
finishes like flooring, joinery, furniture
designs, and electrical knowledge. If you can
give them a style guide for the interior design,
landscaping schemes, and some actual photos
taken at the site, then they can create visuals
that are more true-to-life.

Give Reference Images
If you can also supply photographs of furniture
and finishes, or the kind of landscaping you
prefer, for example, your expectations will be
matched. However, too many pictures will confuse
the issue, so avoid giving too many alternative
options.
Review as Accurately as You Can 3D teams work to
pre-set schedules, so it would help if your
review of the first render can be as
comprehensive as possible. Have your entire
squad review the image, including the architect,
interior designer, branding agency, and real
estate promotion team. Get everyone on the same
page when it comes to the changes you need.
Sending in different change requests, many of
which may be conflicting with each other, will
slow down the work and create a final output
that doesnt look the way you want it to.

These are some points you should consider while
reviewing the image

• Angle and position of the Camera
• Doors and windows of the right size and position
  Architectural details and finishes
• Colors and material selections Light fittings
  and fixtures
• Tile sizes and flooring finishes
• Time of day indicated- night or day- shadows and
  direction
• Background landscape Furniture style and colors
• Wall cladding, balcony railings, staircase
  balustrade details
• Also, review the level of detail offered. Is it
  adequate for your needs?

Your feedback should be Accurate
A couple of iterations may be needed to get the
image perfect, and your 3D rendering partner
understands that. Ideally, if you could redline
the image or mark the changes you require with
arrows pointing to the right places, they could
follow up on exactly what you need them to
do. Providing the right markups for 3D Render
Visuals are very important, so please be clear
in your instructions. Feedback like, This
carpet doesnt work for me is not going to help!
Please send a picture, or a sample, of the
carpet that you have in mind. The more clear
your feedback is, the more quickly they can get
to your final render.

Hire the right person!
While this may seem all too obvious, it isnt. Do
check out the style of work that the renderer
has done in the past, and ask to see their
portfolio. If you are looking for high-quality 3D
Rendering Services with specific styling, then
you should pick someone who has done similar
work. There can be a huge difference in the
quality of renders, with final images ranging
from views that look picture- perfect, to those
that look like a wrong version of a video
game. Ask for references from their past
clients. Did they complete the work on time? Did
they accommodate feedback and change requests
from the clients? Did they understand
instructions easily? Hiring the right 3D
Visualization Partner is not without its own set
of challenges however, by following these tips,
you can avoid most of the common pitfalls. To
derive the highest value from 3D imagery for
your projects, to engage with experts in the
field like Rayvat Engineering, who has over a
decade of valuable experience in the areas of
Architectural Visualization, Animation and
Drafting, and Modelling.
