Object Complexity and Level of Detail
The more elements, parts, repeating details, and small objects a project contains, the more time is required for modeling and scene preparation.
For configurators and animation, clean topology and accurate geometry are essential.
Material Quality and Realism
Photorealism requires accurate PBR materials, proper reflections, and micro-details (fabric, metal, glass, plastic, wood).
The higher the realism requirements, the more testing and iterations are needed.
Lighting and Scene Environment
Lighting is one of the most time-consuming stages of 3D Visualization. Daytime scenes are usually simpler, while night lighting, neon, and complex scenarios require more setup.
The environment also affects cost: landscape, background, decor, people, vehicles.
Number of Shots and Revisions
For 3D Visualization, the price depends on the number of shots and approved angles. The more revisions after approval, the more the timeline grows.
It’s best to define compositions and the final output format in advance.
Animation: Duration and Complexity
In 3D animation, the cost depends on video length, number of scenes, camera movement, simulations (fabric, liquids, particles), and post-production level.
Complex dynamics require more time for setup and rendering.
Source Materials and Requirements
The clearer the brief and the more source materials you provide (drawings, models, references, dimensions), the faster and more accurately the estimate can be calculated.
If key data is missing, extra development and approvals are required, which increases the budget.
To quickly calculate the exact cost, send your brief, references, and a sample of the required quality — and I will suggest the best option in terms of timing and budget.
