Start by collecting architectural plans, floor layouts, elevations, and reference materials such as textures, materials, and lighting preferences. The more accurate the data, the more realistic the render will be.
Using software like 3ds Max, Blender, or SketchUp, create a detailed 3D model of the property — including interiors, exteriors, furniture, and landscaping. Ensure all dimensions and proportions align perfectly with architectural drawings.
Add realistic materials like glass, concrete, wood, and fabric to bring the model to life. Use high-resolution texture maps and physically based rendering (PBR) materials for true-to-life reflections and surfaces.
Lighting is crucial — simulate natural daylight or artificial lighting setups to match the desired mood. Incorporate environmental elements such as sky, sun position, and surroundings for a photorealistic effect.
Choose the best camera angles to highlight the property’s key features — living spaces, entrance, balconies, and amenities. Composition should mirror how a photographer would frame a perfect real estate shot.
Use advanced rendering engines like V-Ray, Corona, or Lumion to produce high-quality images. Adjust render settings for the right balance between quality and speed.
Import the rendered images into software like Photoshop or After Effects for color correction, contrast adjustment, and sky replacement. Add details like people, plants, or vehicles for a lively atmosphere.
Conduct a quality check to ensure accuracy in materials, lighting, and perspective. After client approval, deliver the final renderings in the required formats — high-resolution stills, 360° views, or walkthrough animations.
