Two riverfront homes in three renders: a real estate case study

A South Australian real estate agency needed marketing images of a pair of new riverfront homes in a River Murray town in regional South Australia: the two homes from the street, the rear from the water side, and the main living area with its view of the river.

Three views, chosen before anything was rendered

The set was one front exterior, one rear exterior facing the water, and the main living area. That is the same shape as our real estate marketing package, with two exteriors instead of one, because these homes sell on their water frontage.

Cameras first

Before any material was applied, the cameras were set on the plain model and checked. The front view went through two rounds of adjustment. For the living room we offered ten camera positions, so the agency could choose the angle that best showed the size of the room and the river beyond the glass.

Agreeing the cameras first is what keeps revisions cheap. Moving a camera on a grey model costs minutes; moving it after the materials are on means rendering the image again.

Delivery

The front and rear exteriors were delivered in September 2026, three weeks after the job opened, and the living room five days later. The two exteriors came with alternate versions, and all three with smaller copies sized for the web and social media.
