Premium exterior 3D rendering in Australia

Elevations and a floor plan are enough to begin. A site plan, a finishes schedule and site photography sharpen the result considerably, but we can start from a drawing set alone and resolve the rest as we go.

The revision rounds are set out in your fixed quote, so you know before anything starts. Most projects settle quickly, because we agree camera and lighting at the grey-box stage before any material work begins — which is where revision cycles are usually lost.

Yes. We hold a scanned library of the major cladding, brick, roofing and joinery ranges. If a specified product is not in it, we build it from manufacturer data and a photograph of a physical sample.

Yes, and it is one of the most useful things we do. Each option is rendered from the identical camera in identical light, so the facade is the only variable — otherwise people end up comparing weather rather than design. Additional options cost a fraction of the first image.

Yes. Landscape is built to your landscape plan where there is one, the street and footpaths as they are, and neighbouring buildings from survey and site photography. A building rendered in an invented setting is the first thing a local will notice.

Most projects start with two or three: an eye-level view from the street that answers the council’s question, a hero view for marketing and, on a larger site, an aerial that explains access. Extra views reuse the scene, so each one costs a fraction of the first.

Yes. The time of day is part of the quote, from morning light to dusk, so each image shows the building at the hour that suits its job — dusk for a hero marketing view, clear daylight for an assessor who needs to read the materials and massing.

Yes. The sun is placed for the site’s real orientation at the date and time you need. In NSW apartment assessment that usually means 21 June between 9am and 3pm, and a matching set of views at several hours shows how the light moves across the day.

In our survey of eight Australian studios that publish their prices (read on their own websites on 24 October 2026, Aurum included), the seven that publish an exterior price start at a median of $600, ranging from $350 to $1,000. A starting price says nothing about what is included, so compare the views, revision rounds and resolution each quote covers, and check whether it includes GST.

Yes, from the three distances a tower is judged at: the footpath, where the podium meets the street and its neighbours; across the street or the block, where the full height and the upper-level setbacks read; and the long view, where the tower takes its place in the skyline. Assessors look at all three. Central Melbourne’s overlay wants eye-level photomontages to show relevant proposals and approvals, so towers approved but not yet built appear in the view, and South Australia’s design review guide asks for long views beside the streetscape. Every view comes from one model, so the street and the skyline always agree.
