Here are the main criteria client managers take into account for providing a ballpark estimate:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. CG modeling complexity level.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1754\" height=\"1240\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.cgifurniture.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/product_3d_rendering_email_marketing_texture_e690633584.jpg\" alt=\"3D texturing for a modern sofa\" class=\"wp-image-2703\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wp.cgifurniture.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/product_3d_rendering_email_marketing_texture_e690633584.jpg 1754w, https:\/\/wp.cgifurniture.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/product_3d_rendering_email_marketing_texture_e690633584-300x212.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wp.cgifurniture.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/product_3d_rendering_email_marketing_texture_e690633584-1024x724.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wp.cgifurniture.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/product_3d_rendering_email_marketing_texture_e690633584-768x543.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wp.cgifurniture.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/product_3d_rendering_email_marketing_texture_e690633584-1536x1086.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1754px) 100vw, 1754px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some 3D models take more time and labor than others because they have more elaborate geometries and difficult textures. As a result, their cost is higher. For instance, simple wooden chairs are much easier to make than wicker ones or stone fireplaces. You can find the description of <a href=\"\/blog\/types-of-3d-models-4-complexity-levels\/\">4 complexity types<\/a> in our article about furniture modeling types.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Urgency<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"906\" height=\"510\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.cgifurniture.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/3d_rendering_price_factors_urgency_07171fef88.png\" alt=\"Urgent 3D projects cost higher\" class=\"wp-image-2704\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wp.cgifurniture.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/3d_rendering_price_factors_urgency_07171fef88.png 906w, https:\/\/wp.cgifurniture.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/3d_rendering_price_factors_urgency_07171fef88-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/wp.cgifurniture.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/3d_rendering_price_factors_urgency_07171fef88-768x432.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 906px) 100vw, 906px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When on a tight deadline, CG artists may have to work overtime and at weekends. Naturally, working in an emergency mode costs extra. So the best way to reduce the project price is to keep in mind the deadline and always contact the product rendering company beforehand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. The number of views<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"724\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.cgifurniture.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/3d_rendering_price_number_of_views_91b685d393.png\" alt=\"Number of views of 3D renders\" class=\"wp-image-2705\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wp.cgifurniture.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/3d_rendering_price_number_of_views_91b685d393.png 1280w, https:\/\/wp.cgifurniture.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/3d_rendering_price_number_of_views_91b685d393-300x170.png 300w, https:\/\/wp.cgifurniture.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/3d_rendering_price_number_of_views_91b685d393-1024x579.png 1024w, https:\/\/wp.cgifurniture.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/3d_rendering_price_number_of_views_91b685d393-768x434.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The standard offer includes 1 general view. Therefore, each new view will add to the price. The angles normally cost the same. The cutout, however, requires modeling of the inner structure of the product and is therefore priced higher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Resolution<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.cgifurniture.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/3d_rendering_price_imagery_resolution_559e61db22.png\" alt=\"Imagery resolution affecting 3D rendering cost\" class=\"wp-image-2706\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wp.cgifurniture.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/3d_rendering_price_imagery_resolution_559e61db22.png 1920w, https:\/\/wp.cgifurniture.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/3d_rendering_price_imagery_resolution_559e61db22-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/wp.cgifurniture.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/3d_rendering_price_imagery_resolution_559e61db22-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/wp.cgifurniture.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/3d_rendering_price_imagery_resolution_559e61db22-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/wp.cgifurniture.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/3d_rendering_price_imagery_resolution_559e61db22-1536x864.png 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By default, CGIFurniture provides product 3D renders in FullHD, 1920&#215;1080. If there\u2019s a need for a higher resolution, the price will increase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Reduce Product Rendering Costs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These were the main criteria affecting the product rendering cost, and at least 2 of them can be adjusted. Their defining feature is that these factors are inherent to the project character. But that\u2019s not all. In addition, a product manufacturer can reduce the CGI production price through workflow optimization. Here are 3 easy ways to do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Provide a Detailed Scope of Work<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"973\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.cgifurniture.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/product_rendering_project_references_fac01557c3.png\" alt=\"CGI project references\" class=\"wp-image-2637\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wp.cgifurniture.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/product_rendering_project_references_fac01557c3.png 1500w, https:\/\/wp.cgifurniture.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/product_rendering_project_references_fac01557c3-300x195.png 300w, https:\/\/wp.cgifurniture.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/product_rendering_project_references_fac01557c3-1024x664.png 1024w, https:\/\/wp.cgifurniture.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/product_rendering_project_references_fac01557c3-768x498.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The less research 3D artists need to do, the faster the 3D rendering production goes. As a result, it costs less. So a product manufacturer can help speed up the process by answering all the questions in the brief, specifying the purpose, format, and resolution of the imagery, and attaching all references they can get their hands on. The effort will 100% pay off!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Use Ready 3D Models<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-3 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1307\" height=\"916\" data-id=\"2707\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.cgifurniture.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/product_modeling_library_in_cgi_crm_1536e115fd.png\" alt=\"Product modeling library in CGI CRM\" class=\"wp-image-2707\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wp.cgifurniture.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/product_modeling_library_in_cgi_crm_1536e115fd.png 1307w, https:\/\/wp.cgifurniture.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/product_modeling_library_in_cgi_crm_1536e115fd-300x210.png 300w, https:\/\/wp.cgifurniture.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/product_modeling_library_in_cgi_crm_1536e115fd-1024x718.png 1024w, https:\/\/wp.cgifurniture.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/product_modeling_library_in_cgi_crm_1536e115fd-768x538.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1307px) 100vw, 1307px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1265\" height=\"923\" data-id=\"2708\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.cgifurniture.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/cgi_crm_library_ready_product_3d_models_a81181318b.png\" alt=\"Ready-made product 3D models\" class=\"wp-image-2708\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wp.cgifurniture.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/cgi_crm_library_ready_product_3d_models_a81181318b.png 1265w, https:\/\/wp.cgifurniture.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/cgi_crm_library_ready_product_3d_models_a81181318b-300x219.png 300w, https:\/\/wp.cgifurniture.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/cgi_crm_library_ready_product_3d_models_a81181318b-1024x747.png 1024w, https:\/\/wp.cgifurniture.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/cgi_crm_library_ready_product_3d_models_a81181318b-768x560.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1265px) 100vw, 1265px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1310\" height=\"920\" data-id=\"2709\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.cgifurniture.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/product_modeling_library_for_lifestyle_rendering_a336bca912.png\" alt=\"Product modeling library\" class=\"wp-image-2709\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wp.cgifurniture.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/product_modeling_library_for_lifestyle_rendering_a336bca912.png 1310w, https:\/\/wp.cgifurniture.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/product_modeling_library_for_lifestyle_rendering_a336bca912-300x211.png 300w, https:\/\/wp.cgifurniture.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/product_modeling_library_for_lifestyle_rendering_a336bca912-1024x719.png 1024w, https:\/\/wp.cgifurniture.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/product_modeling_library_for_lifestyle_rendering_a336bca912-768x539.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1310px) 100vw, 1310px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another cost-cutting tip is to ask the product rendering studio upfront if they offer 3D models of props for room sets. Using them will help to avoid paying for modeling every decor and secondary object in the scene. For instance, CGIFURNITURE offers clients free access to a virtual library with more than 47000 items. They are indoor and outdoor furniture 3D models of various styles and brands, lighting fixtures, architectural elements, paintings, sculptures, carpets, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Use Ready 3D Scenes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.cgifurniture.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/lyfestyles_scroll_0e80e56fc4.gif\" alt=\"CGI library of 3D scenes\" class=\"wp-image-2710\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">CG rendering studios can offer CG room sets and outdoor scenes, too. So a manufacturer can pick one, and have it tweaked to fit the concept. As an example, CGIFURNITURE <a href=\"\/\">3D rendering agency<\/a> gives users free access to 3,913 lifestyle scenes of excellent quality. So product manufacturers can pick one they like, and even ask to adjust details like wall color, flooring material, and decor to fit the concept. This will take the modeling of a new scene off the product rendering cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Social Media Playbook for Your Brand<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">Templates and examples for reels, carousels, and 3D motion\u2014tailored to your brand<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-fe48e5de wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"\/social-media-guide-furniture-brands\/\" style=\"border-radius:9999px;color:#ffffff;background-color:#2563eb\">Download Social Media Guide<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, these were the main factors influencing the price of a lifestyle 3D visualization project and a set of tips on how to decrease it. However, these are not the only considerations. Beyond the core factors, there are additional ways to optimize CGI production costs through smarter planning and workflow decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Affects Product Rendering Cost<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Number of revision rounds.<\/strong> The more revision cycles included, the higher the final cost. Unclear feedback or changes after approvals increase production time and budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Quality of source materials.<\/strong> Incomplete drawings, outdated CAD files, or missing references require additional preparation and verification, which affects pricing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Material and surface complexity.<\/strong> Glass, glossy finishes, fabrics, and advanced PBR materials take longer to set up and test, increasing production effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Consistency across multiple SKUs.<\/strong> Large product ranges with consistent lighting and camera setups require tighter quality control but may reduce the cost per item when produced in batches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Batch production.<\/strong> Ordering multiple products, variations, or color options together significantly lowers the cost per render.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Early-stage approvals.<\/strong> Approving models, scenes, and camera angles early helps avoid expensive changes later in the pipeline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Long-term collaboration.<\/strong> Ongoing partnerships or volume-based projects often allow for more flexible pricing and production planning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The best way, of course, would be to combine those and ask the client manager for custom advice. For many things would depend on the project. For instance, the company may be willing to offer a discount for a volume order.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The first thing to do before starting a CGI project is to ask for the price.
