Are you familiar with 3D rendering? Well, in simple terms it is a computer graphics procedure that involves the conversion of a 3D structure or frame into corresponding two-dimensional images on the computer. Rendering is specifically the 2D image creation part. So basically you create the image from 3D data stored in the computer hence there entire process has a feeling similar to photo production or cinematography. If you are in the architectural field, especially, then this is no new terminology. Every project requires some rendering done to it for greater depth and insight into the structure being created. Now, when the projects are coming in thick and fast, some may choose to find a company to do this rendering work. What then are the parameters you should use when evaluating these 3D rendering companies?
Communication is one crucial point to start. You need to find a company that you can create a rapport with and communicate effectively with ease. Needless to say, poor communication will for sure stall the project you are working on and is bound to result in extra unforeseen circumstances, conflict with your client due to failing to meet lead times and ultimately, massive stress on your end. Good communication allows the 3D rendering studio to grasp what you want entirely, and adapts its resources and skills to your specific needs. The point is merely being clear in your goals and asking the right questions during the entire rendering process.
Language barriers are some sort of sub-profile in this communication element. It isn’t uncommon to look abroad for 3D rendering services, primarily due to the cost aspect. This will present a language problem sometimes which will affect the efficiency with which your feedback and complaints are handled. To overcome this, some initial engagements with the foreign studio can help you gauge the extent of communication barrier problem.
Expect that time zones may also play a part in your decision making. This factor is what motivates most architects to get local 3D rendering firms. However, if you want to go international, just make sure that the time aspect is clearly incorporated into your plans otherwise you will invite stress once more.
Trust issues will also show up as you try to make a final decision. There will be many 3D rendering companies claiming to do a myriad of things. It can then become challenging to distinguish the real from the fake in such cases. A basic image search on the internet can help you assess the 3D rendering studio’s portfolio. Again, you can never get it wrong if you get a recommendation from a close associate on which firm to go for.
