    In most of the cases, clients like to pay for one image and they want to include everything in that image and that is why most arch-vis stuff doesn't look good most of the time. Because the design of the image itself is diseregarded by the client which produce poor results.
    Amen, amen, and amen!

      I am not sure we were judging harshly, and if I was, I apologize. I don't think questioned your images not being brilliant; we were just questioning who, now a days, has a budget to spend a week per view on a production project. My IKEA comparison was, unless it was for a magazine, it wouldn't happen.

        In Ronen Bekerman's interview with MIR they state that they spend "about a week" per image... Considering their pricing, that's very reasonable.

          That's the same for us. A week for most, sometimes less, sometimes more (oh go on, change your whole design).

              Approximately one week for me as well.
              Except highly detailed scenes full of close ups.

              And I work alone.

                Damned, if i work for me a week that i haven't to work, my wife kill me! I have to test and draw or make CG only the night when everybody sleep... There is also the "familly" context to explain everything...
                And yes pixela, me too, i don't waste more time on a personnal work than a professionnal one... Eveytime we have a idea in our mid and everything is easy to developp, in a professionnal job, we have to adapt to an architect style/ philosophy And mainly a terrain to respect... In our project, we have to do as we like and it's also a really time saver...
                i ll be back

                  First of all, I want to tell Pixela that your work is amazing. With your permission I would like to show those four images to my boss to inspire him to push us to greater heights. Second, I want to chime in about the amount of time it takes to do quality renderings vs. the amount of $$ architects want to pay. I started doing architectural 3d renderings professionally in 1991, initially for architects (being an architect myself) and was immediately disillusioned by how little they were willing to pay for the amount of time I was spending giving them fabulous work. And then I hit a break. A broker came to me and asked me to produce marketing images for a high rise complex. On a whim I decided to double my rates and he didn't bat an eye. A little while later I was asked by a broker to do marketing video for a ski resort in Colorado. On the way I felt the very strong impression that I should double my already doubled rates. I doubled my rates again and got the job: $40,000 for a month's work. I was pleased until I found out that the next lowest bid was $120,000. Bottom line: I never did work for architects ever again. In 2000 I raised my rates to $150 dollars an hour, dropped the dead beat clients, was able to work on the best projects for the best clients who were willing to pay well for extraordinary work and I all but eliminated the all night and weekend work pattern. - Craig

                    We also very rarely work for architects - we mostly work for developers and investment groups. They've got considerably more money to spend, and the hundreds of millions they've already dropped on the project makes our fee seem insignificant when you consider we allow them to sell it before it's finished. They make what they spent on us back nearly instantly.

                      I have heard some pretty horrific developer horror stories. Just get a deposit, and get paid in full before the watermarks come off.

                        I've never had any problem with developers. Never. They have been my best clients.

                          That kind of security should be in place for every job really. Theres no need to put yourself in a position where you could be screwed over (outside of someone being an idiot and using low res tests...)
