What is architectural rendering? Architectural rendering is the process of creating two-dimensional and three-dimensional images of a proposed architectural design. The goal is to illustrate a lifelike experience of how a space or building will look before it is built, accurately representing design intent.

How much do architects charge for renderings?

The cost of a render varies based on the complexity of what you want done, and the industry that it is done for. A fully animated render of an architectural building could cost as much as $7,000. A more humble still of a particular room could cost you less than $250.
