3D rendering services, priced by deliverable
$19 for a floor plan, $42 for a product on white, $149 for a house exterior, $3,000 for an aerial. The price follows the deliverable more than the studio, so this page is organised by deliverable — every figure from a provider's own page.
3 renders a day. No brief, no wait.
3D rendering cost
By deliverable, because that is what sets the price. The first column is the lowest published starting price for that deliverable and who publishes it; the second is the band the two studio cost guides — RealSpace 3D and Rapid Renders— put on a finished one. Each row links to the page that lists every provider for that deliverable. Last updated: September 11, 2026.

Outsource, hire or automate
The honest answer is a volume question. A studio is cheapest for a few important images a year; an in-house artist for a few a week; AI rendering for the dozens of images a project generates before anyone decides which one to commission. Four models, at published figures:
| Model | What it costs | How long | What it is for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Outsource to a studio | $149–$3,000 per image at published rates; animation from $1,800 | 3–14 business days per round | The image that has to be right: the brochure hero, the planning view, the catalogue. |
| Hire in-house | A salaried artist, a workstation, and a renderer licence — D5 Pro $360/yr, V-Ray Solo $540/yr, Enscape Solo $574.80/yr, Lumion Pro $1,149/yr | Days, once the pipeline exists | Firms rendering every week, with a modelling workflow already in place. |
| Freelancer | $75–$250 per product image, per Transparent House's guide; no published architectural band | Varies; revision discipline varies more | One-off images where price beats process. |
| AI rendering | Free for 3 renders a day; Pro $39/mo for 240 credits | Seconds per image | Everything before the brief: options, moods, materials, times of day, internal reviews. |

3D rendering companies
Eight providers that between them cover every row of the price table, each checked against its own website in September 2026. They are not ranked: a volume studio, a fixed-tier studio, a listing-services editor, a fixed-price shop, a platform, a subscription and a boutique are different answers to different briefs. The full lists — ten architectural studios, eight product providers, eight floor plan services — are on the linked pages.

By deliverable
One page per deliverable, same method on each: every provider verified on its own site, every price quoted from its own page, and a plain statement where a price is missing.
By city
Fewer than the search results suggest. Most sites that rank for a city’s rendering queries are headquartered somewhere else and run a landing page for the traffic. These lists include only studios whose own site publishes a street address in the city — the aviso legal in Spain, the contact page or privacy notice in Latin America — and say how many candidates failed the check.

Render a House
These are not competing answers to one question. A rendering service sells the deliverable — the plan, the packshot, the hero, the animation. Render a House sells the images before it: the options nobody has chosen between yet, for buildings and interiors only. Side by side, at published prices:
| a 3D rendering service | Render a House | |
|---|---|---|
| Cost per image | $19 for a floor plan to $3,000 for an aerial, at published rates. | Free at 3 renders a day; Pro is $39/mo for 240 credits. |
| Time to first image | 24 hours for a floor plan; 3–14 business days for a render. | Seconds, from an exported view, a plan or a drawing. |
| What it covers | Floor plans, products, interiors, exteriors, aerials, animation, 360°. | Buildings and interiors, as still images. Not products on white, not plans, not animation. |
| Changing your mind | 1–5 rounds included, then $100–$400 a round, or +25% upfront for unlimited. | One credit per attempt; refine a region without re-rendering the image. |
| What it is for | The deliverable that goes to the client, the buyer or the planner. | The decisions before that deliverable exists — and the brief that commissions it. |
What you get
3D integration
Where your CAD software exports a mesh, upload it and set the camera in the browser, then render from that view.
Rendering
Photorealism in seconds rather than a queued calculation you leave running over lunch.
Video
A camera move across the same project, generated from a finished still. Nothing to animate.
Design
Try materials, light and surroundings until the version you want exists, without touching the source model.
Refinement
Fix one part of a render — a facade panel, a tree, a sky — without starting the image again.
Precision
Your geometry is respected: the walls, openings, heights and proportions you drew in your CAD software stay where you put them.
Collaborative
Share a link and take comments on the image itself, so feedback lands on the render rather than in an email thread.
Mobile and web
Runs in the browser, on the machine you have open, including a laptop that would struggle with a local render engine.
4K
Delivery resolution, ready to print or put on a board without a separate upscaling step.
Render a House takes an export from the model you already have, a floor plan, or a line drawing, and returns a photorealistic image in seconds, in a browser, with no render engine and no graphics card. Use it to decide what the image should be, then commission the one that matters from a provider above — with a brief that will not need a second round.

It depends on the deliverable more than the studio. At published rates: $19–$99 per floor for a 3D floor plan, $42–$230 per model for a product packshot, from $99–$350 for an interior, from $149–$900 for an exterior, from $936 for an aerial, and from $1,800 for an animation. The market guides published by RealSpace 3D and Rapid Renders put a finished house exterior at $399–$1,500, a commercial exterior at $800–$2,500, an aerial at $1,000–$3,000 and a walkthrough at $4,000–$12,000 per finished minute.
Twenty-four to seventy-two hours for a floor plan, one to five days for a product render, three business days for a still at ArchiCGI, 3–8 days at RealSpace 3D depending on the deliverable, about two weeks at BoxBrownie, and weeks for an animation. Rush work is priced on top — 25–50% for 48 hours in RealSpace 3D's guide, 30–50% under five business days at Rapid Renders.
Five things. The deliverable — a floor plan and an aerial are different jobs. Complexity and level of detail, which set artist hours: RealSpace 3D puts the same exterior at 8 or 80 hours of work. Deadline, priced separately. What you hand over, which sets modelling time. And where the studio sits — Rapid Renders publishes per-image bands from $200–$800 in Asia to $700–$3,000 in the Gulf.
Product and floor plan providers mostly do; architectural studios mostly do not. Of the ten studios on the architectural rendering page, three publish a price. Of the eight product rendering providers, six do. Of the eight floor plan services, seven do. The pages linked from this one list every published figure and say where one is missing.
3D rendering is the general trade — any photorealistic image from a 3D model, including products, vehicles and packaging. Architectural rendering is the subset applied to buildings and interiors, with requirements the rest does not carry: site context, correct daylight, materials a contractor could specify, and a planning or marketing use the image has to survive. Most of the price difference on this page follows that line.
Past a certain volume. In-house means a salaried artist, a workstation and a renderer licence — D5 Pro is $360 a year, V-Ray Solo $540, Enscape Solo $574.80, Lumion Pro $1,149 — and a modelling workflow that already exists. Below a few images a week, a studio at $300–$900 an image or a subscription at $2,000 a month is cheaper than the salary. AI rendering is cheaper than either for the images that only need to be good enough to decide with.
Check the address, not the phone prefix. Most sites that rank for a city's rendering queries are headquartered elsewhere and run a landing page for the traffic. The city pages linked from this one — Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Mexico City, Bogotá, Santiago and Monterrey — list only studios whose own site publishes a street address in that city, and say how many candidates failed the check.
For the images that come before the brief, yes. Render a House takes an exported view, a plan or a drawing and returns a photorealistic building or interior in seconds, free for three renders a day — options, moods, materials, times of day. It does not replace a verified planning view, a catalogue-exact product packshot, an animation or a hero image with a specified camera. Those are what the providers on this page sell.
Render the drawing you already have, choose the option that works, then send that to a studio. The brief writes itself, and the revision round never happens.
