How an architectural animation project with Rendimension works

A project starts with the files you already have: drawings, a model, a site plan, finish selections and reference images. Rendimension reviews them, confirms the views and deliverables in writing, and flags missing information before modeling starts, so the quote reflects the real scope.

The first draft is shared for comments on camera, materials and lighting. Feedback is collected in one round per stage, applied by the same artists who built the scene, and final files are delivered in the formats agreed at the start. Because the work is produced remotely, the process is the same for a project in New York as for one anywhere else in New York.

How to choose an architectural animation provider in New York

An animation is a storyboard problem before it is a rendering problem. Ask each studio how the camera path is agreed and how many storyboard rounds are included before frames are rendered.

Revisions cost more in animation than in stills, because a change can force a re-render of every frame in a sequence. Get the revision policy in writing, per sequence and per round.

Ask for delivery specs up front: length, resolution, frame rate, music licensing and cut-downs for social and listing platforms.
