House Renderings

It is also true that it depends on the size of the firm you work, or if you work for yourself and are a freelancer. Here in US, many times for big firms money is not the issue. The real problem is timing, and having full control of their work! It has happened to me that the firm preferred to pay three times the price of render done in china (1500 vs 500) only because it was so hard to deal with them. You need to do a change, shoot an email, wait half day because it is already midnight there..wait for the morning, they do the change, and they missed it! And you need to do it again trying to explain from scratch your intention. Their aesthetically taste is also different from what we are used to. Meanwhile the deadline has come knocking on your door! For these reasons firms try to do rendering in house where the designer can seat with the archviz guy and tell its intentions, or outsource it to local artists. Unless you need to win a competition, and then... you call MIR

Communication seems to be the biggest issue I hear. We have to sell our value as well as our product. The funny thing with this guy is, he was hired to improve a companies image. I guess their image isn't worth much. Who known, they might try this $100 per render company and if it works for them, more power to them.

Yea, good for them. As I said in the previous comment, there is room for everybody in this world. The 100$ guy needs to eat too. You just keep your good work on, and everything will be fine. Will sleep better at night!

Yeah, I told the guy that it wouldn't be worth my time under a certain $ amount. Any changes or tweaks would be low-priority, so nobody would win.
