What is architectural visualization and why does Bellonie Studio specialize in it?
Architectural visualization is the process of creating photorealistic images and animations from architectural plans and drawings. Bellonie Studio specializes in transforming 2D plans into 3D renderings that help architects and developers communicate their vision before construction begins. With over 10 years of experience, we focus exclusively on architectural visualization to deliver the highest quality results.
What file formats does Bellonie Studio accept to start a rendering project?
Bellonie Studio accepts AutoCAD files (DWG, DXF), Revit models, SketchUp files, PDF plans, hand sketches, and reference images. We work with whatever architectural documentation you have available. The more detailed your source files, the more accurate the final visualization will be.
What information should I provide when requesting a quote from Bellonie Studio?
Share your architectural plans, the number of views needed, preferred angles or viewpoints, material preferences, and your timeline. If you have reference images showing desired style or atmosphere, those are helpful. Bellonie Studio will review your requirements and provide a detailed proposal.
Does Bellonie Studio offer consultation before starting a project?
Yes, every project begins with a consultation where we discuss your vision, review documentation, clarify requirements, and establish deliverables. This ensures alignment before 3D modeling begins and helps achieve the desired result efficiently.
How long does it take Bellonie Studio to complete an architectural rendering?
Simple interior or exterior renderings typically take 3-5 business days. Complex architectural visualizations with multiple views require 7-14 days.
