1. With photorealistic 3D rendering technologies, you can get images or animations of anything for your business needs


You or your client need to invest a product or real-estate which currently doesn't exist. Certainly, one of the main concerns is how an exterior, interior, or product will look after bringing to life.


In this case, photorealistic 3D renderings can help you:


  • If you are an architect, an interior designer, or operate a property or building company you can get and show your clients images of buildings or interiors even if they don't yet exist.


  • If you need to make a promotion of your product design, you can request photorealistic 3D rendered images that can depict any product according to your design.


Feel free to look at the more details in the Client's Guide to 3D Graphics.



2. Modern photorealistic 3D rendering techniques allow attracting your potential clients


When people make a choice they prefer things that look beautiful. It's because of human nature. Probably because of the evolutionary or some else processes. Generally speaking, people think that beautiful means good.


So if you include beautiful 3D rendered images in your proposal they will grab a client's attention, and you will have more chances that your clients will choose YOUR proposal.

3. Photorealistic 3D visualizations can help to build a good first impression


It's possible if images included in your proposal are clear, crisp, and beautiful. Due to a good first impression, your potential clients will trust you more.

4. With modern 3D rendered images your proposal will have a fresh look


Since 3D rendering technologies are constantly developed, using actual illustrative trends and special effects would give your proposal a modern and stylish look.


Though in some cases using an old-style design is totally fine :)

5. If you are a designer, with photorealistic 3D renderings you will see and fix mistakes and make improvements at a design stage


All of the designers tend to make mistakes, and it's natural. Of course, it's impossible to make an ideal design at once.


Looking at photorealistic 3D renderings you will see your mistakes and things to improve.


Eventually, you will provide your client with the best solution you can.



6. With photorealistic 3D renders, you can easily discuss a project with your client


When it comes to a project discussion, your client and you will feel comfortable if you will use photorealistic 3D visuals during a dialog.



7. Photorealistic 3D renderings help to resolve disagreements at a design stage and avoid them when a design is bringing to life


Let's say a designer provided documentation without photorealistic or any visualizations.

In this case, after a bringing design to life a client might say:


  • I didn't realize it will look so bad.


  • I thought it will look much better when I saw your drawings.


  • I don't quite understand drawings but I hoped the result was good. It's too late to make changes.


  • I don't agree with these results.


To recap these or such other possible reactions your client might be not satisfied with results. It means a negative experience.


Would you like to have all of this? Of course no!


Photorealistic 3D renderings allow you and your client to determine how a designed object will look. And at least it allows both parties to make revisions at a design stage and resolve disagreements before bringing it to life. It means your client will have a positive experience of working with you.



8. Due to photorealism, your clients will easily and quickly grasp your ideas and value


Please keep in mind:


  • Business clients are often very busy and have a very little amount of time and sometimes energy to understand what your proposal is.


  • Non-business customers (means people that use products or services for their own needs) are usually lazy. It means they don't wish to spend their time and energy to logically understand all of the benefits of proposed goods and services.


Looking at photorealistic 3D visualizations your clients will see your design or product as it exists in the real world. Good news, they will easily and quickly understand a value instead of doing guesswork about what do you want to propose.



9. While with bad illustrations your proposal will look cheap, with good ones it will have a decent look


Psychologically, your clients will value more if your proposal will have attractive photorealistic illustrations.



10. With photorealistic 3D renderings, your clients will have a positive experience


Enjoying beautiful images, having a good first impression, easy understanding the value of your proposal will make your clients happy.


In many cases:


  • Clients will recommend you to other people.


  • Clients will use your product or service again, which means you will have repeat customers.


Please keep in mind:


3D renderings cannot make money alone.


But using them along with other tools, such as good design ideas, marketing strategy, SEO, social media marketing, graphic design, copywriting, and other tools will definitely help you in your success.

About money pig images and some things about the process of their creation



Once again, it's humor images in the context of this blog post, so please don't take them seriously.


All of them are 3D rendered images by 3DS Max, V-Ray. Also, I did the compositing and postproduction in Blackmagic Fusion. To get the old-style image I did the processing in Adobe Photoshop.


Here are some of the work in progress screenshots.

To speed-up making these 3D renderings, I downloaded stock 3D models from the platform 3dsky.org and used them in this project. Here are the details. Please take a look at the image below.

Here is the list of 3D models according to the numbers on the picture, which contain direct links to the stock 3D models:






Thanks all of the 3D artists for providing high-quality 3D models!

I used more than 16 Material IDs in 3DS Max for this project.


3D artists might be also interested in the second thing I want to share these images.


To complete these 3D renderings I used render elements and compositing. In this case, I used Eyeon Fusion, but it's possible using other software, such as Adobe Photoshop, After Effects, Nuke, etc.


Here are some of the screenshots of the compositing process.

Though the 3DS Max interface of the material editor allows using only 16 material ID channels, I used 30 material IDs to make adjustments of the colors, reflections, refractions, and various effects in this project. How I did this? Feel free to check out the blog post How to use more than 16 Material ID Channels in 3DS Max.

Have a nice day!
