General Questions
In what file formats will I receive the final output?
Architectural animations will be delivered in MP4 format, while renders and virtual staging will be provided as high-resolution JPEG files.
How many revisions are included in the price?
Up to three revisions are included in the price. Additional revisions will be charged based on their complexity and the time required to implement them.
What are your payment terms, and do you require an upfront deposit?
We require a 50% upfront deposit to begin work on your project, with the remaining balance due upon completion and final approval.
Virtual Staging
What do you need from me to get started? Can you work with low-quality or older photos?
To get started with virtual staging, we need high-quality photos of the rooms you want to stage, along with any specific style or decor preferences you may have. If you don’t have a particular style in mind, we can suggest suitable options.
We discourage working with low-quality or older photos, as they may impact the final result. However, we can review the images first to assess their suitability and determine the expected outcome before proceeding.
Before we begin, we require clients to sign a one-time liability agreement via DocuSign. This agreement grants us permission to modify the images and allows us to use them afterward for marketing purposes.
Can I choose specific furniture styles or decor themes for staging?
Yes, you can choose a specific furniture style or decor theme for staging. Simply provide us with your preferences, and we will tailor the staging to match your vision. If you’re unsure, we can suggest styles that best complement the space.
How do you ensure that virtual staging does not mislead potential buyers or renters?
We highly recommend clearly disclosing in the listing that the photos have been virtually staged and that the property is empty in reality. Transparency ensures potential buyers or renters have accurate expectations while still showcasing the property’s potential.
How long does it take to complete a project?
The turnaround time depends on the number of photos to be staged; however, the final project is typically delivered within 24 to 48 hours.
3D Renderings (Interiors & Exteriors)
What information or materials do you need from me to create an interior or exterior 3D renderings? Can you work with hand-drawn sketches or incomplete blueprints?
To ensure accuracy, it’s best to provide architectural drawings, such as floor plans or elevation drawings, when creating 3D renders for interiors and exteriors. However, we can also create 3D renders from photos. Renders based on hand-drawn sketches or incomplete blueprints are possible as well, though the accuracy of measurements may not be perfect.
In addition, before we begin, we require clients to sign a one-time liability agreement via DocuSign.
Can you match a specific style, color pallete, or mood for the renderings?
Yes, we can create renders tailored to your design, color palette, and preferred style.
Can you provide different views, such as aerial shots or close-ups of details?
Yes, we can provide different views, including aerial shots, close-ups of details, and multiple angles to showcase the space more effectively.
For exterior renders, can you also reproduce the surrounding neighborhood?
Yes, we can reproduce the surrounding neighborhood, including features like vegetation and nearby houses, to provide a more realistic exterior rendering. Additionally, we can create bird’s-eye views for a comprehensive perspective.
How long does it take to complete a project?
Typically, 3D renderings of interiors and exteriors take between 5 to 7 business days to complete. However, the exact timeline depends on the number of renders required and the number of revisions included in the project. We will provide a more accurate estimate once we review the project details.
Videos & Animations
What information or materials do you need from me to create a 3D video or animation?
To create a 3D video or animation, we need details about your project scope, including floor plans, elevations, or reference images. If you have specific design preferences, such as materials, lighting, or furnishings, please share those as well.
In addition, before we begin, we require clients to sign a one-time liability agreement via DocuSign.
Can you incorporate branding elements, such as logos or text overlays, into the animation?
Yes, we can incorporate branding elements such as logos, text overlays, and custom graphics into the animation to align with your brand identity and enhance marketing effectiveness. We can also incorporate music.
Do you provide a preview before finalizing the animation?
Yes, we provide a preview before finalizing the animation to ensure it aligns with your vision. This allows you to review the flow, camera angles, and key elements before we proceed with full rendering.
How long does it take to complete a 3D video or animation?
The turnaround time depends on the scope of the project and the number of revisions required. Smaller animations may take a few days, while more complex projects can take several weeks. We will provide an estimated timeline once we review the project details.
How long are your animations typically?
Typically, our animations range from 60 to 90 seconds, but the final length depends on the client’s specific requirements, including the level of detail, scene complexity, and additional elements such as voiceovers or text overlays.
