3D Rendering Sunshine Coast

Whatever you have. Architectural plans and elevations are the most common starting point, and a Revit, SketchUp, Archicad or CAD model saves time. A survey or site plan, site photos, a finishes schedule and a landscape plan all help. If some of that does not exist yet, we work from what is available and fill the gaps with sensible assumptions that you sign off.

Yes. Early-stage renderings are often the most useful, because they help test a concept, support a funding conversation or start pre-commitment talks. We agree upfront which parts are fixed and which are indicative, and the model is refined as the design develops.

Usually not. A survey, aerial imagery and a set of site photos are normally enough. Where a photomontage needs to match a specific real-world viewpoint, drone or ground photography of the site can be organised as part of the job.

Mainly the number of views, the size and complexity of the project, how much surrounding context each view needs, and whether we are building the model from scratch or starting from your architect’s model. Interiors, operational detail and photomontage matching add work; extra views from an existing model are comparatively efficient. Every job is quoted against the specific views agreed.

It depends on the number of views, how complete the information is and how quickly feedback comes back. A clear brief and a single round of consolidated comments make the biggest difference. We give you a timeline with the quote and flag anything that could hold it up.

Before the final render. You see draft camera angles and a draft of each view so composition, materials and landscape can be adjusted while changes are still quick. Final renders come after that sign-off.

The model is kept, so most changes are an update, not a restart. Swapping a colour or finish is straightforward; moving buildings, changing levels or redesigning the layout takes more work. We will tell you what a change involves before we start it.

High-resolution files suitable for print and digital use, plus web-optimised versions. If the images are going on a large signboard, billboard or hoarding, tell us early so the views are rendered at the size that job needs.

Yes. Renderings are commonly used in development applications and community consultation. We build them from the information supplied, and your town planner should confirm any specific requirements, such as viewpoints or disclaimers, the assessing council expects.

The model can, but the best final images are usually chosen for the audience. An investor overview, a leasing hero shot and a DA view may all come from the same model with different cameras, activity and emphasis.

Still renderings are the workhorse for most campaigns. Photomontage is best when the real surroundings need to stay visible. A 360° view helps people understand a space, and animation explains arrival, sequence and scale. We recommend the mix based on what you need people to understand.

No. CPM produces 3D rendering for commercial, industrial and residential projects right across Australia. Everything from brief to delivery works remotely, so location is never a barrier.
