3D rendering and animation cost estimator.
Build your project from the real price list and see a range in under a minute. No email address is needed, and nothing is sent until you choose to send it.
Indicative, not an offer. Your fixed price and delivery date follow a free look at your CAD, within one working day, under NDA if you want one.
How the estimate is worked out.
The same four inputs decide every quote we write. Nothing here is hidden in a later line item.
Size of the assembly
A component, a single machine or a whole line. Larger assemblies take longer to convert, simplify and light.
Deliverables
Stills, films and interactive assets, each at its published price, with add-ons priced as follow-ons.
Model reuse
The most expensive item pays full price. Every further main deliverable from the same model is 20 per cent less.
Source data and timing
Drawings-only projects add a rebuild. Rush production adds 35 per cent, confirmed before you pay.
About the estimate.
How accurate is the estimate?
It is built from the same price list we quote from, so most projects land inside the range. The fixed quote can move in either direction once we have opened your CAD: a clean STEP file of a few hundred parts sits at the low end, and a 20,000-part native assembly with missing surfaces sits higher.
What is included in every price?
CAD preparation (conversion, repair, simplification and materials), lighting, the deliverables listed, the revision rounds stated in your quote, a mutual NDA and full commercial usage rights on final payment.
Why does a second deliverable cost less?
Preparing the model is the largest part of the first job. Once your machine exists as a clean 3D model, a further film, cutaway or viewer skips that step, so the estimator takes 20 per cent off every further main deliverable from the same model.
Which currency will I be invoiced in?
US dollars or euros, by bank transfer, against a purchase order if you use them. The euro and sterling figures shown here are converted at an indicative rate for comparison.
What does rush production mean?
Where our schedule allows it we shorten the delivery time by roughly 40 per cent for a 35 per cent surcharge. We confirm that the date is achievable before you commit.
