Architects, designers, how do you know if your design is in good hands?

How to realize if you are hiring a premium CGI studio or not.
If you feel that your design is not well represented by the CGI services you are currently using, you’re not alone. Mastering 3D software is not enough to create visualisations that have a deep impact on people’s minds.
It’s a combination of multiple ingredients: artistic prowess, passion for images and animations (which includes other visual arts like photography, painting, or film), commitment to clients’ needs, and—most importantly—the experience to guide client expectations to the right path, ensuring the final result mesmerises them.
In this post, we’ll break down the essential elements that turn a flat and boring visual into a masterpiece.
What You’ll Get from This Post
We’ll delve into some of the most critical aspects that define a premium CGI service and discuss how these factors, when expertly combined, can elevate your design visuals to new heights.
Visual Breakdown: Understanding the Mind of a Premium CGI Studio
Let’s consider this visual breakdown to understand better how the mind of a premium CGI studio works. These are just a few ingredients that can transform a flat and uninspiring visual into something extraordinary:
​
Depth of Field
If you’re paying the same amount of attention to every single element in one image, something is off. Depth of field (DOF) immediately draws the viewer’s eye to what you want to stand out.
Within the first second someone views a new image, most of their perception and feelings are already formed.
DOF guides this perception, ensuring that the focal point of the image stands out, while secondary elements gracefully fade into the background.
​
Chiaroscuro
The use of lighting is a critical factor that differentiates standard CGI services from premium ones. Just as films require skilled directors of photography to use light to tell a story, premium CGI studios apply the same principles. Through light, we paint narratives into images, using shadows and highlights to evoke emotions, create mood, and frame the subject in a way that compels the viewer to look deeper.
​
Human Presence
Nothing captures attention more effectively than the presence of a living figure. The addition of a human element breathes life into a space, making it relatable and tangible. When this figure is captured in motion, the entire scene becomes dynamic and engaging, turning a static visual into a captivating story. It’s one of the strongest storytelling tools available in the visualisation world.
Why Choose a Premium CGI Service for Your Interior Design Visuals?
​
Partnering with a premium CGI provider means more than just obtaining high-quality visuals—it’s about capturing the true spirit of your design and translating it into a visual language that resonates.
Premium visuals are a strategic asset that elevate your work and provide tangible benefits for your projects:
​
Stronger Design Representation: Premium CGI isn’t just about creating realistic images; it’s about representing your design’s core values and atmosphere. By using advanced techniques like depth of field and expert lighting (chiaroscuro), these visuals highlight the most important aspects of your interior design, making them stand out in a way that ordinary visuals cannot achieve.
​
Greater Emotional Engagement: Human presence, strategic lighting, and the use of depth can evoke a deeper emotional response from your audience. A well-composed visual can transform an image from a simple representation into an immersive experience, making it easier for clients and stakeholders to connect with the design.
​
Streamlined Communication and Approval: Premium visuals can effectively communicate the finer details of your design, reducing the need for multiple revisions. When clients see a visualisation that mirrors their expectations and aspirations, the approval process becomes faster and more straightforward, saving you time and effort.
