Unsurprisingly, the price of a CGI varies according to its complexity.
As you’ve already guessed, the price of a CGI depends on the time your 3D service provider spends creating the desired images. Modeling a designer chair in 3D will take much less time than creating an exterior perspective of a building.
We’ve already written an article to help you understand how the price of a 3D visualization of a piece of furniture is calculated. Today, we’d like to present you with our exclusive prices for quality 3D visualizations. These are indicative and will vary according to the complexity of the work required. They may be revised downwards depending on the time needed to complete the job or the number of 3D renderings required. However, you can get an idea of the prices on the market.
Although our core business is the creation of 3D visualizations of furniture, we have expanded our offer in response to customer demand. Thanks to the artistic talents and significant architectural experience of our team, we are able to offer the design of architectural perspectives as well as 3D visualizations of objects for marketing purposes.
Price of a CGI furniture
Cost of furniture modeling
The price of 3D furniture modeling is generally included in the cost of staging. However, it can happen that a customer only wishes to have an item modeled, and that it be rendered with a white background – also known as a clipped visual.
This was the case, for example, with a customer who wanted a very fine model of a mattress so that he could display it in his catalog. From this model, we were able to deliver several variations, enabling the customer to present the details of his product.
Price of a 3D furniture interior rendering
3D furniture visualization, lifestyle furniture staging or 3D ambience setting… whatever you call it, the aim is the same: to highlight your furniture so that it attracts shoppers and invites them to place orders.
In many cases, furniture manufacturers or suppliers have a wide range of furniture for sale, and going through a photo shoot would be expensive. Between the logistics involved in transporting all the furniture, the different decors to be set up and the photographer’s services, the cost per photo is far too high and cuts into margins.
That’s why 3D furniture visualization offers the best value for money. Compared to a photo shoot, the price of a CGI is unquestionably the cheapest for the same quality.
And when you compare the 3D rendering of a piece of furniture with a photo montage, the quality speaks for itself. Although photo montage is relatively less expensive, the quality/price ratio of a CGI is in the latter’s favor. As you can see from this high-definition 3D visual, our work focuses on detail.
Price of an exterior 3D visualization
The price of a 3D visualization of a piece of furniture set in an outdoor environment is out of all proportion to the cost of an outdoor photo shoot. Between renting the shooting location, transporting the often very bulky merchandise, the photographer’s services and the numerous image retouching operations required when shooting outdoors, the calculation is quickly made. And that’s not counting the vagaries of the weather!
An outdoor image can easily cost upwards of €1,500! This is definitely not the solution for anyone wishing to produce dozens of furniture stagings.
3D visualization of outdoor furniture is much more cost-effective:
- Your costs are under control: no unpleasant surprises at the last minute,
- Turnaround times are known in advance,
- You don’t have to waste time finding the ideal spot, managing logistics or being on location for the photo shoot,
- The price of a CGI is always lower than that of a photographer’s, and the quality is the same.
In terms of quality, here’s what you can expect from our 3D visual creation services:
How much does it cost to insert furniture into a photo-montage image?
Inserting furniture into a photo purchased from an image bank is an inexpensive way of creating original visuals. However, the main drawback is that the quality is not always up to scratch. In some cases, the lighting or the angle of the shot are not always adequate, which detracts from the photorealism of the visual.
Despite this drawback, some customers prefer this solution for budgetary reasons. In fact, inserting mattresses or interior furniture into an existing image is generally offered at a lower price, as it requires less work time.

How much does object CGI cost?
Creating a 3D model of an object and then staging it in any suitable universe is a skill that requires finesse and meticulousness. The result, however, opens up an infinite range of possibilities, from catalog presentations and advertising messages to custom-made creations.
For example, a jeweller asked us to produce his entire catalog in CGI. His aim was to offer all the models he was able to produce without having to create the jewels in advance. In this way, by presenting a virtual catalog, his customers could order the jewel of their choice over the Internet, without the jeweler having to physically design his entire catalog – and thus tie up a considerable amount of capital in his jewels.
Price of a CGI of architecture
Price of a 3D interior architecture perspective
The interior architecture perspective is a wonderful tool for architects and interior designers alike to present their projects. There’s no difference between a simple sketch and a true photograph of what the project will look like once completed!
In addition to being able to visualize the construction or redevelopment project, the project manager can agree with the client on the final result. In this way, several variations of the same space can be proposed so that the customer can choose the project he wants.
In this way, misunderstandings are avoided, saving considerable time. When an interior architect uses 3D visualization, the price of a CGI is more than amortized.
We produced several versions of the same interior space, enabling an interior designer to present his project to his customer. The result convinced him, and the designer won the contract:
Price of an exterior architectural perspective
Budgets for the construction of houses or buildings are very important. That’s why so many architects turn to exterior architectural perspectives.
A visual accurately reflects the architect’s vision. When creating an exterior architectural perspective, the project manager can provide the 3D graphics agency with very precise specifications.
Based on the plans and appendices, the graphic designers will produce photo-realistic CGI of the architectural project. From the orientation of the building, the location of openings and the use of materials, to the position of each type of vegetation, every detail will be respected to the letter.
This was the case for the creation of an exterior architectural perspective for a luxury hotel:

How much does it cost to insert a character into an architectural perspective?
Inserting characters into an architectural perspective brings visuals to life. It invites end-users to project themselves into what the real estate project will be like once completed.
It’s a technique much used in marketing. The proof is in this CG image commissioned by La Commune. The task was to insert characters into a previously created architectural perspective. The aim was to convey a more convivial image to the site.
Please bear in mind that our prices for 3D services are given as an indication, and that they may be revised downwards in the case of large volumes, or upwards depending on the complexity of your request.
