Workflow

We do our best to make our workflow coherent, practical and transparent for our clients. Below, you can see an example of the usual workflow we recommend for most of our projects. It allows us to deliver the best results possible, without exceeding the projects' deadlines.

Questions

What is your pricing?

We don’t have a fixed price list, as every project is unique and may vary in complexity and scope. Our approach is flexible - we adapt to the specific needs and requirements of each client.
To receive a tailored quote, simply email us your project details, ideas, and requirements. We’ll review them carefully and get back to you with pricing options. We do our best to respond quickly and provide solutions that match both your vision and budget.

What is needed to start the project?

It’s important to share the details you consider essential for your project - whether as a written description or reference images. This helps us better understand your vision and deliver results that match your expectations.
We also know it can be challenging to prepare a complete brief and describe every detail in advance. Don’t worry - after reviewing your materials, we’ll ask clarifying questions and discuss possible solutions both before starting and throughout the process.

Typical timeframe

We take deadlines very seriously and always discuss them before starting a project. If we are not confident we can deliver within the requested timeframe, we will decline the project. We never create situations where a client needs to rush us. In case of force majeure, we will notify the client about the delay.

Portfolio Publication

We usually showcase completed works in the studio’s portfolio, unless a restriction is agreed in advance. If publishing is not allowed or needs to be postponed, please let us know before the project starts. In some cases, a permanent restriction on publication may be reflected in the project’s pricing.

How to reduce the cost (interior)?

- Using ready-made 3D models of interior objects instead of custom modeling.

- Providing a photo for the background view (cityscape, landscape, etc.) instead of requiring it to be modeled in 3D. In some cases, a semi-transparent curtain can also work as a simple solution.

- Finalizing camera angles, lighting, and furniture layout at the clay render stage. Significant design or composition changes after the color preview may increase costs.

- Supplying clear input materials (drawings, key references). This reduces the need for us to search through lengthy documentation and speeds up our work.

- Allowing creative freedom in design. Extensive approval of small details can slow down the process and raise the price.

- Providing a high-quality, accurate client 3D model (when available), as it can simplify production and reduce costs.

How to reduce the cost (exterior)?

- Simplifying the surrounding environment, for example by replacing nearby buildings with low-poly placeholders to show only scale and placement.

- Allowing flexibility in outdoor details (furniture, fences, umbrellas, plants, etc.) so we can use ready-made 3D models instead of custom ones.

- Reducing the need for highly detailed landscaping by avoiding strict planting legends.

Selecting daylight scenes instead of complex night renders.

- Ordering multiple angles reduces the cost of each viewing.
- Finalizing camera angles, lighting, and vegetation layout at the clay render stage. Significant design or composition changes after the color preview may increase costs.

- Supplying clear input materials (drawings, references) to save preparation time.

- Providing a detailed and accurate client 3D model (when available), which can simplify production and reduce costs.

Image proportions

In some cases, clients require specific image proportions for social media or print materials. It’s very important to let us know about such requirements at the start of the project. This allows us to choose the best composition for the given frame format from the beginning.
Changing proportions later in the process may negatively affect the composition, require camera adjustments, and lead to additional costs or extended timelines. If proportions are not critical, giving us flexibility allows us to select the most effective camera angles for each interior or exterior view.

Photomontage

To achieve the best quality photomontage, it’s important to follow a few guidelines when taking drone photos:
- Avoid shooting with the sun directly behind the camera, as this makes objects look flat. The best time is early morning or late afternoon.
- Consider the height of the building to be added, so it doesn’t get cut off. Avoid shots taken too close to the site.
- Don’t shoot from too far away - otherwise, the image may need heavy cropping, which reduces quality.
- Send us unedited photos in RAW format, without color correction or cropping.
- Don’t worry about unwanted objects in the frame - we can usually remove them. What matters is that key areas are not blocked by trees or nearby buildings.
- Feel free to send multiple photos. We can prepare quick drafts to help select the best option for the final montage.

What happens if the project is put on hold?

Sometimes a project may be paused at the client’s request and remain on hold for an undefined period of time. We consider a project “on hold” if no feedback is received within 14 calendar days.

   - If the project is paused at the clay render stage, we ask the client to cover 50% of the image cost.

    - If the project is paused at the colored preview stage, we issue an invoice for the work completed.

Once the client is ready to continue, they can provide feedback and we will apply the requested revisions. All source files are securely archived, so we can resume and complete the project at any time.

How does the payment process work?

Payments are made via SWIFT bank transfer. All necessary details will be included in the invoice, and the currency (USD, EUR, GBP, CHF, or PLN) is agreed upon in advance.

We offer flexible payment options depending on the project size:

  - Standard: 50% upfront and 50% upon completion.

  - Large projects: staged payments based on agreed project milestones.

  - Small projects: in some cases, no advance payment is required.

What communication channels are using during a project?

Our primary communication channel is email, as it ensures that all agreements and feedback are clearly documented and accessible to both sides. We usually reply within a few hours and do our best to keep communication fast and efficient.

 

For convenience, we also use WhatsApp for quick organizational questions and Miro for structured feedback, comments, and approvals on previews.

 

The key principle is transparency:

  - All project-related discussions should be accessible to all key team members on the client’s side.

  - Written communication helps us avoid misunderstandings that may arise from voice calls.

  - We make sure the relevant people are always included in email threads or WhatsApp group chats.
