No wonder it's getting harder and harder to make a decent living doing freelance work since these prices are bringing down the value of good images. Clients will accept "good enough" quality because the are cheap. So if an artist wants to make a good living they'll have to work for a reputable rendering house or as a in-house vis person at arch firm.

[@mateogaon9762]

Well, 300 USD dollar image is undoubtedly the most realistic image, nice texturing and non Lumion-Ish, but the 15/ 50 dollar images shows the actual project at it´s full potential. So what are we really looking for? Nice looking single image or decent looking multiple images showing what really matters?

I am working in architecture visualization, it is really sad that such hard work are under real price, for such project render the last price should not be under 500 $ . architecture visualization are not easy process, you need to learn 5 or 6 applications then you need to learn about modeling, lighting, texturing, rendering, shading with all plug-ins and techniques, photoshop architecture process, design principles, architecture principles, learning new architecture desires and updates, brainstorming all day . architecture visualization is a continues learning and practicing so it is a hard work field, if you don't get good price you are wasting your effort and hard work .

[@Russ_Paul]

Let's also add cost of hardware, software subscriptions and running costs to that. Fine if you're working from Mum and Dad's, but undervaluing the market doesn't do the industry any favours at all.

Most of these prices are less than what you will pay hourly for archviz. These prices are quite ridiculous, this is (thankfully) reflected in the quality.

Charging the lower price point when you are a student or starting out is ok. The $50 render is the best as you had options. Providing several renders is ok in Lumion as it's so easy to do. Once you get confidence in your art then you should be charging $150-$300 per day. If you reach god-tier then you can charge whatever you like :)

[@lasselammers9422]

[@PeopleCanFly23]

What do you mean by "Lumion-ish" is it a bad software?

[@ShowItBetter]

Not at all! it is just that some software acquire a certain staple look with their basic settings on and it is very easy to distinguish them. It is not necessarily bad but in some occasions you want to avoid it. I would say many programs have this and it is the role of the actual artist to try to squeeze out the best of each software so the render avoids the generic feel.

[@timeisontheessence]

I would recommend having renders done for you by freelancers. I wouldn't classify this as cheating or anything like that because sometimes the laptop isnt equipped to install heavy software like Lumion etc. Its not cheating if you've put in the work to having the building and site constructed on 3D modelling software

[@ShowItBetter]

Wow!! I am amazed by the amount of polemic this video is getting haha, I like that there is an active conversation on this comment section, but since it is a bit hard to respond to each one, I am going to give my thoughts here: *1. Is Fiver going to end the arch-viz industry?* No, it never will. The industry is filled with high-quality artists and companies that have a huge set of clients willing to pay a lot of money for their work. What a professional arch viz artist provides is customer service, quality images, experience, artistry, among so many other things. These characteristics are invaluable and just like the mass consumption of the camera for everyone to access and everyone can be a "photographer" did NOT end or devalue the careers of many professional photographers, these platforms are not going to end the arch viz industry. *2. Prices are too low for a render* Yes, as mentioned in the video, all of the prices, even the 300 USD ones, are really low. How does someone survive with a 15 USD render? Well, I think the situation is a bit more complex to grasp from some places than others. Fiverr is a platform for freelancers, some take it as a side hustle and some as a full-time job. For some of these freelancers, 15 USD is money they can help pay their bills with. The minimum wage in third-world countries is around (unfortunately) 300 USD. So the money they gain from Fiverr can actually help them more than the jobs for an architect in their country. If you are somehow angry that these 15-300 USD freelancers are taking your clients, maybe you are looking at it from another perspective. Think of it more like this, you necessarily don't want to have the clients that are looking for a 15-300 USD render, because these clients are looking for fast and relatively low-cost work (which is not bad either). Or these are clients that come from low budget projects or a country where it is unimaginable to pay more than 100 USD per render. So, if you charge more than 2k per render good! These people are not stealing your clients, and if you can make a fiver account and get clients that can pay 2-5k per render then congrats, that is possible as well in the platform. *3. Prices are too high for a render* haha just like there are people complaining about the low prices, there are some amazed at how I was able to waste 300 USD for a render and that they would do an even better image for a CHEAPER price. So as you can see, we have the full spectrum of architects here!! haha. But, first of all, as I already mentioned, these prices are very low, 15 USD is really low for a render and 300 USD is also really low for a render. Second, this video was made with the help of fiverr, so the guys over there gave me a chance to test out different price points just to see how it would work. I know that many of you can produce better images than these, I know that for many of you, this may be expensive for a render, but understand that each freelancer is in a different economical situation than you, also understand that for some this is their jobs. If maybe I spent a bit more time I can come up with a better image, if they spent more time they can create a better one, but try to understand where they come from, and their needs. *Conclusion* Architects have to value their work more, yes. Architects need to charge more, yes! But we also need a bit of empathy and knowledge of the economic conditions by which we live. As an architect I would love to charge 4x more than what a normal client will pay me for design work here in Colombia, but I know that the market that I am in right now doesn't allow it, or I would literally never have clients if I priced my work. That is perhaps also the reason I am working via social media, but that story is for another day haha.... I appreciate so much the discussion, I hope it continues! But let's try to place ourselves in shoes that are different from ours. Cheers! Steven

[@PauloSousa86]

And may that be a culture education to all the people who don't understand how economy works outside their country, and how low some people on the planet get paid related to others. In my country minimum wage is 600€ around 500 us dollars. So that 300 dollar image is a half month payment. So a lot of people from here would love to work for that money for 1 image when in your country it is a low paid image. Also not everything we buy is scaled according to income. Food and some stuff yes,but import, technology programs stay the same price as you so for us the cost of working may be higher than yours comparatively.

just second folder(think 42$).nice and good price.

[@poloo92]

Loved the 80$ tier ( good composition ) ....and the 300$ has a nice mood too. 👍 You talked briefly about some Archiviz studios .. Would LOVE a video on it man !

[@anestakos83]

to be honest this feels insulting. The prices are are extremely low and not justifiable by the lower cost of living in some countries. We have pretty much pay the same prices in hardware, software licenses, assets etc so even if you take account the huge difference in living costs you would still need to charge more...unless of course you are using only pirated software and assets or exclusively CC0 stuff, which to be honest I highly doubt.

[@lyrics4you995]

the last one is the best

[@christianpaschek1443]

The last one looks best.

[@francescocatalini7727]

it seems like archviz industry is going in the "race for the cheapest" direction

[@rastamensa]

$ 86 for fiverr not counting 20% of tips, excellent

[@WAG.KANA.MAGALIT]

How about people like me who just started this type of gigs? How can we gain clients when other competitor has been already feature in the search bar or recommend gig

[@rennycepeda6576]

15 was great for the price, really nice and got the building overall, The 50 Usd was just inconsistent with the images but it was worth the money, the 80 added unnecessary buildings to the project as you said and composition is boring, 100 unfinished and 300 is a joke for that single image and its good but its not worth 300

[@manpreetkashyap1362]

Thank you for explaining this thoroughly!

[@ShowItBetter]

Glad it was helpful!

I live in the UK. I do a lot of Arch-Viz as a freelancer. All my work involves making 3d models from scratch or editing someone else's models (which are always badly modelled and a pain in the ass), applying my own textures and setting up the scenes for Rendering. My rate is around £35/hr. Would you say that's too competitive or too expensive?

[@ShowItBetter]

It depends on many factors Craig, your level of expertise, the clients who you are working for, and the amount of personal value. I would suggest if you watch this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n6eun51vm8uWo6c

[@deuspax]

it is wrong to think in the "best bang for the buck" paradigm when is coming for an architectural render - point is to choose the right skills in mastering a rendering software relative to your needs - otherwise, anyone can press the render button, so all that being said, It looks like you choose the wrong freelancer for any price category, any of them have no prior experience in using the render software they own or no desire to learn

[@DJScopeSOFM]

I do rendering and I charge AU$300 for the project if a model is provided. The $50 render to me looks like the most effort was put in in terms of setup, but the lighting and texturing was really poorly done. For instance, the grass steps has grass on the rise, but should be a structural material. But the vegetation was very nicely setup. The last one was by far the best one and is what I would expect from a properly done architectural render. However, only one render? With my projects, I'll provide multiple perspectives until the client is happy, and will only charge extra if there are any major changes to the model.

[@rebecca5835]

Interior design for next

[@juanmanuelverona9230]

the 100usd was a scam, really really poor for that price....

[@LandSpaceArchitecture]

I guess the 300 bucks one has used 3d max or cinema 4d? The textures and lights are so soft and comfortable.

[@i.k7510]

This render 9:18 it"s normally. I Think this render was made in lumion and photoshop exactly

[@ShowItBetter]

I do too!

[@timphillips3873]

I'm confused. Did you send these artists the 3d model and they "just" populated, textured, etc via whatever render software they had? Or did they model everything from a design plan set?

[@ShowItBetter]

I sent them the 3D model and they rendered it

[@arleyo1]

Excelente video, yo soy arquitecto y hago unos renders espectaculares también, modestia aparte, buena esa comparación calidad precio, lo que mas me llama la atención es como aprendiste diste a hablar tan buen inglés, gracias

[@closingdealz]

50 usd second image looked good

[@IU_fanboy]

0:40 shout out to the person biking in the hallway

[@ShowItBetter]

lol

[@LeWooloo]

15:13 There is a hidden message in the reflections of the upper windows of the 5th picture. It says "DIE CANAH" or something. O_O

[@piotrilichchaikovski3791]

you must do more content like this! i love it

[@alanparana6899]

How, more importantly why, do people do this for so cheap?

[@Saaket]

Honestly , none of them except for the 15 dollar one was worth it. 300 dollars were absolutely not!

[@RomboutVersluijs]

How can they offer renders for $15 and showcse images from a couple hundered? I mean that must be Lumion right?

[@cakie_0933]

My favourite was the 50$ no. 2, the lighting and interior additions were great. But the 300$ was OK and would of been better if they didn't mess up the few people in the background.

[@LillianIngram-vb6jd]

your comment is very good

[@osmondace5757]

I think the 50 dollar one is quite interesting, because the thumbnail you are using is that 😁

[@eliosaleh9492]

the last one is descent! but the people needs matching more from saturation to shadows to just be more integrated in the whole 3d mood , they just look like png's , he could've added maybe some motion blurr effect ! and i think he's the only one rendered on either corona or v-ray , the rest are lumion ! but really lumion can deliver much more then that ! werid tho !

[@weok-doing-things]

interesting and refreshing to see, thanks!

[@upingtonshadreck4689]

your are quite generous with your comments... i like that

[@ShowItBetter]

Haha I didn’t want to be too rude

[@kuypiseth]

What is lutigon or a mere artist, I need to see their work, please help I don’t know how to spell the website

[@MoLeCuLeD31]

Hey man. I really love and enjoyed your video. This is proof that not all good quality stuff come at greater prices. I do prefer the 2nd Renderer ($50), it does really show good potential but the good thing about the 5th Renderer ($300) is that she goes out of the box and even proposed something better in that scene which is interesting. I am also in the design and rendering field. I hope I can join in on one of these someday. Stay awesome!

[@ncbacha6526]

Hi man ! I really like your video, thank you. As a reply to your question, my favorite render pics are the very first and very last ones. I've just started to do some architectural rendering as a freelance and I was wondering if I can try to render this same project (for free of course) and then you can give your opinion on it ? Thanks in advance ;)

[@niviamaeva]

How is you progress? Do you have a Chanel ? 🙏🏼

[@d_moto]

As a 3D Artist, I would prefer the $50 & $300

[@minehist6037]

At first glance at your preview I thought it’s a Minecraft project 😂

[@ShowItBetter]

haha yeah now that you say it

[@vishalsaulick]

i'd love to have a go at that render and have some of you folks tell me how much they'd pay for it...

[@mehbubulhaquebhuiyan4746]

This proves that some people over exploit and some just accepts getting underpaid. The Cheap ones were the best. The more the price went up the worse it got.
