When considering 3D visualization, many clients have similar questions—about input, timelines, costs, and expectations. Below are short, honest answers to the questions we hear most often at Studio Renderlijk.

Do I need a finished CAD model to start?

No. A clean, finished CAD model helps, but it’s not required. We regularly work with incomplete models, early-stage designs, or mixed inputs (CAD + sketches + references). What matters most is clarity about the goal of the visuals.

What file formats do you work with?

STEP files are most common, but other CAD formats are usually fine as well. If needed, we can also work from simplified geometry, exported meshes, or reference drawings.

How long does a typical project take?

Most still-render projects take between one and three weeks, depending on complexity, feedback rounds, and availability of input. Animations usually take longer due to structure, timing, and revisions.

How many feedback rounds are included?

This depends on the agreed package or scope, but feedback is always structured. Early alignment on direction keeps revisions efficient and prevents endless tweaking.

Can the visuals be used for both web and print?

Yes. Renders are typically delivered in multiple formats or resolutions, suitable for web, presentations, and print. If needed, we can optimize outputs for specific use cases.

Will the renders match the final product exactly?

Renders are based on the best available data at the time. When materials, finishes, or details are still evolving, we make realistic assumptions and communicate them clearly. The goal is credibility, not false precision.

Is 3D rendering only for marketing?

No. Many clients use renders internally—for alignment, training, stakeholder communication, or early decision-making. Marketing is just one of several applications.

What affects the cost of a rendering project?

Key factors include model quality, level of realism, number of views, revision rounds, and whether animation or exploded views are involved. Clear goals usually lead to more efficient budgets.

Can visuals be updated later?

Yes. One of the strengths of 3D visualization is scalability. Variants, color changes, or small design updates can often be handled without rebuilding everything from scratch.

What makes Studio Renderlijk different?

We work at the intersection of engineering and communication. That means respecting technical reality while creating visuals that are calm, clear, and purposeful—not overstyled or misleading.

Still unsure?
