Currently working on wrapping up a video for the development “Indigo Bluffs”, a “distinctive RV retreat” in Northern Michigan. Some weeks ago the client asked us to stage a single lot and render it so it could be used as a backdrop for their traveling trade show booth. Upon speaking with the display manufacturer, we found that they required an image that would print 10′ x 12′ at 300dpi. Gulp! We had never rendered an image that large, so this was a test for us. It came out very well however, and I’m told it has generated quite a bit of buzz at the shows. It seems they had to spend quite some time explaining that this was a rendered concept of what a site could be, and not a photo of a site they could purchase!

I have included the frame we rendered, as well as a photo of the booth at a show. Nice work guys!

Looks like it has been quite a while since I posted anything here. I need to catch up! For now, enjoy our 2008 Sample Church Animation, which we just completed.

Call us for a quote on your project.  I think you’ll be surprised!

In the business, we usually call these non-photoreal, or “NPR”. They could be a traditional media style replicating a hand sketch or a painting, or they could be very basic 3D images without reflections or even textures. Sometimes they are requested as a matter of preference – and sometimes because of the lower cost and turnaround time. And sometimes they just work better than a full photo-realistic rendering due to their simple presentation and high contrast.

Whatever the look and whatever the need, NPR renderings still make up a fair amount of our work. Because of the lower time requirements, we can sneak these in between other jobs pretty easily. But because they are not as glamorous as our photoreal renderings, they usually do not get the same attention. So I decided to use today’s blog post to highlight these images. If you want more information or more examples on any of our NPR styles, give me a call!
