Architectural 3D visualization · Hillsdale, NY
the render studio for people who draw houses.
Exterior stills, interior stills and short walkthroughs, made at 70 Sw Colony Rd. One plate at a time, each one checked against the elevations twice.
Selected plates
we render the house you drew at the hour you’ll actually see it.
That means 4:40 p.m. in October if the sun hits the porch then. Every view below is a finished plate, shown in the plate-and-chemistry style of the 1860s because the drawings deserved a nicer frame than a JPEG.
walkthroughs
One camera path, 30 to 60 seconds, from the driveway to wherever the client will stand first. Delivered as a 1080p MP4. From $1,480 as part of the full set.
The camera never flies. Nobody flies through a house.
from $300
One view, one lighting condition, two revision rounds. Most architects start there and add rooms when the first plate comes back right.

one drawing in, one plate out
You email a PDF. We read all of it, including the note in the margin of sheet A-201 that you assumed nobody would read.
The house is modelled at full scale and lit with a physically based sun set to the latitude of the lot. Hillsdale, NY sits at 42.19° north, which matters more than it sounds in late October.
A draft plate comes back in 5 working days, small enough to mark up with a pen. You send one list of changes and we make them once. Two rounds are in the price. A third is $85.
The final arrives as a full-resolution TIFF and a web-weight JPEG, named by view, not by IMG_0042.

the sending list
Six things that turn a two-week render into a five-day one. If you only have four, send four and we’ll ask for the rest in the first reply.
Email the lot- 01Plans, to scale
PDF or DWG, with a north arrow. If the scale bar says ¼″ = 1′-0″, please check it still does after printing to PDF.
- 02All four elevations
Even the back one. Especially the back one: that’s where the mudroom window ends up.
- 03One sample of each material
A photo of the cedar, the standing-seam panel, the tile. A product code beats a paragraph of adjectives.
- 04A photograph of the lot, with a compass
Taken from where the camera should stand. Tell us which way is north and where the neighbour’s maple is.
- 05The hour
4:40 p.m. in October, noon in June, or whatever your client keeps picturing.
- 06One picture you wish yours looked like
One. Not a board of forty.

questions architects ask first
What counts as one “view”?
One camera position under one lighting condition. The same porch at noon and at dusk is two views, except in the $685 tier, where the dusk version of the exterior is included.
What is a revision round?
One consolidated list of changes, sent in one email: materials, furniture, a camera nudge, a different hour. Moving a wall or changing the roof pitch is a new scope, and we’ll quote it before touching anything.
How long does a plate take?
A draft comes back 5 working days after we have the drawings. A walkthrough runs about 12 working days. A rush on stills is 3 working days for an extra $120.
Can you work from a sketch?
If the sketch has dimensions, yes. If it has a napkin ring on it, we’ll ask for a plan first. Dimensioned hand drawings photographed flat are fine.
Where can I use the finished images?
On your website, in brochures, listings and planning submissions. Please don’t resell them as stock. Credit is appreciated and never required.
