Once we receive your files we will tell you the exact price for your project. After signing an agreement between your company and ours, we will make a 3D model and send it to youIt takes about 2-5 business days to make a 3D model depending on a project's complexity. Because a 3D model is critical to the accuracy of your project we will carefully verify all views, heights and details in the phase. If you want to make any changes to your project, 3D modeling is the phase to do it. Once rendering is finished it would be very difficult to change the rendering.We will send you a 'coloring system chart' to help you to identify the color of the finish. At the mean time you can send us your requirements (including photos and computer files)for finish texture, color and landscape. Once you approve the 3D model, we are ready to do rendering, lighting and landscaping.return to topWhat is a '3D' model?A '3D model' is a color surfaced picture. Although it is merely a mesh of all surfaces , it comprises all details and decides the preciseness of the final rendering.return to topWhat is your standard turnaround time?Once we have received your approvement of rendering, our standard turnaround is 5-7 working days.return to topDo you do rush jobs?Yes, we do.

We will apply all those to the renderings.return to topWhat if I need several views?You can have as many views as you want.return to topHow do I pay for the job?We will email or fax you an agreement for the price. The payment is due after the final rendering has been done.return to topIs color printing included in your prices?Normally we will send you a jpg file for the rendering.
