Our process(04)
Clear from the
very first frame.
A collaborative, uncomplicated process with defined stages and thoughtful feedback.
Brief & direction
We align on your architecture, audience, references and the feeling each visual needs to create.
Model & material
The scene is built with careful attention to proportion, finishes, landscape, light and camera.
Render & refine
Drafts are reviewed together before the final high-resolution images or animation are delivered.
Questions(05)
You ask.
We visualise.
What do you need to begin a project?
Plans, elevations or a SketchUp model are ideal. Material references, mood images and a clear list of required views help us define the direction quickly.
How long does a rendering project take?
Timing depends on complexity and the number of views. A focused residential set commonly moves from brief to final delivery in one to two weeks.
Can you work from an existing 3D model?
Yes. We can develop an existing SketchUp or Revit model, or create the complete model from architectural drawings.
Do you work with clients outside Cape Town?
Absolutely. The workflow is fully digital, making it easy to collaborate with architects and designers anywhere.
