Who we are?
- a small introduction
Picksell Studio is a creative studio established in 2019 in the beautiful city of Wroclaw, Poland, by two architects with international experience, that have found their life passion in architecture 3d story-telling representation. We truly believe that it’s equally important – the project itself as well as the way it is presented to the investor. We are also sure that it has an impact on the project’s selling success – so PICK our renders and SELL your projects!
Storytelling Architecture
- why to work with us
We are extremely sensitive to the final impression of our visualizations – we put ourselves in our Client’s place and we care extensively about how to represent the project in the best possible way. We will tell a story about it, because we think the rendering should be something more than just a nice picture. The amount of views, best angles, scenery and mood are all suggested by our people. Trust us – we are professionals.
How do we cooperate with our clients?
- the process
Everything starts with a conversation. We ask our Clients to send us all necessary files that we will be using during our work; in most cases it’s 2D drawings, such as plans, sections or 3D models exported from all kind of architectural software (archicad, sketchup, revit, allplan, etc.). Materialboards, project location and site photographs are always welcome. When everything is clear, we start to work on the first stage, which is the whiteboard stage.
The first stage is mostly dedicated to the creation of 3D model. After it’s completed, we deliver whiteboard renderings (it usually takes 4-5 working days) – these are “raw” renderings with no textures, where our Clients can see if:
- all geometry is modelled correctly,
- they like our camera location suggestions,
- they like the mood suggested by us (daytime, lighting conditions).
After the whiteboards are accepted and cameras are confirmed, we start working on draft renderings and in this stage we add textures and go into details. It usually takes another 2-3 working days. Images are rendered in draft quality. It is the last moment for any changes, if our Client will find it necessary.
After we receive comments from our Clients, we get to the final stage and work on renderings in higher quality (4K or higher, if needed). We add postproduction to refine the renderings in 2D-software (inserting people, color and contrast correction, etc.). This stage takes around another 2 working days. And when further changes are needed? Further work on the renderings is possible, but associated with extra costs. They depend on what needs to be done and are discussed before the work is started.
Who we work with
- architects and real estate companies from all over the world
