Process

  1. 1. Quote & timeline

    Agree on pricing plan and schedule based on the quantity and style of work, the amount of modelling and any extras, such as photography.

  2. 2. Brief

    Discuss the materiality, key concepts, camera angles, lighting and mood to determine a brief for the project.

  3. 3. Composition

    The model is imported or created and basic lighting is set up, the scene is explored and various composition options are created. Basic renders are sent for confirmation.

  4. 4. Lighting & environment

    Lighting options for each view are created and sent for confirmation.

  5. 5. Materiality & extras

    Materials are created and applied. Extras such as entourage, props and trees are added.

  6. 6. Drafts & final draft

    A number of iterations are created with increasing levels of detail and refinement until we reach a final draft.

What they say

I haven’t been involved with a model like this before and was very apprehensive about the amount of time and level of detail required to direct and coordinate the effort, but honestly, what was achieved with the messy model and little input we provided is just amazing! Already recommended you for another project in the office and hope to work with you more on this or any other projects.

"I have had the pleasure of working with Wigwam Visual on various projects over the last couple of years. They bring consistent quality, creativity and realism to every render. Their renders are visually impactful and in tune with the overall vision and story."

"We were very satisfied with the quality of work and professionalism provided by Wigwam Visual, it has been a positive and close collaboration throughout. The production of each image was always a constructive conversation, following a clear process of communication based on the initial briefing, regular draft submissions and subsequent comments after each stage The nature of the project required a fast turnaround and Wigwam Visual worked with a variety of materials, from full 3D models, sketches and visual references. Their architectural background enabled us to use draft images in the bid process, aiding the design conversation and scheme explanation in presentations. We wouldn’t hesitate to use Wigwam Visual again."

"We were very pleased with our experience through the whole project. Everything from initial design meetings to the impressive quality of the finished renderings was nothing short of professional excellence. Troy was extremely responsive and his efficiency paired with his attention to detail allowed us to meet a very tight timeline all while staying on budget. We would highly recommend Wigwam Visual and look forward to working with them again in the near future."
