3D visualization has become an essential tool in design, planning and presentation of space. It enables a realistic representation of future solutions before construction begins, helping investors, clients and architects make informed decisions with confidence. It is used in architecture, interior design, product development and promotional materials, and the price depends on the type of project, the number of scenes, the complexity of the model and the intended use of the final material.
Interior modelling
Interior modelling involves creating a space with its structural elements, furniture, lighting and decorative details, with particular attention to atmosphere and materials. Each interior requires careful scene preparation: setting the camera angle, defining light sources and selecting materials that together create a convincing visual impression. It is used for apartments, offices, hotels and restaurants, where the goal is to convey the spatial experience, the interplay of light and shadow and the aesthetic harmony of the elements. The starting price is €500, and increases depending on the size of the space, the number of views and the complexity of the interior design.
Interior view variations
Once the base visualization is complete, it is possible to create additional variations showing alternatives in colours, furniture, lighting scenarios or materials, without the need to rebuild the entire scene from scratch. This is particularly useful when an investor or designer wants to compare several options before making a final decision on furnishing or decoration. The starting price is €200, and increases with the number of versions and their complexity.
Visualization of family houses
Visualizations of family houses cover the exterior with realistically rendered architectural features, materials and surroundings. The focus is on the facade, roof surfaces, joinery and the context in which the building is situated, and scenes often include a landscaped garden, vegetation and surrounding terrain to create a complete picture of the future home. These visualizations assist in selecting finishing materials, planning the outdoor space and understanding the final appearance of the building. The starting price is €800, and varies according to the complexity of the house, the number of floors, the level of environmental detail and the number of requested views.
Family house visualization variations
Once the base model of the house is built, it is possible to create versions showing alternatives in facade materials, colours, outdoor scenes or weather conditions. The client can see how the same house looks with different cladding, at different times of day or in different seasons, which makes the final selection considerably easier. The starting price is €300, with increases depending on the scope of requested changes.
Visualization of residential buildings
Visualizations of larger structures such as residential buildings require detailed modelling based on technical documentation, a greater number of architectural elements and the creation of an extensive surrounding environment. Urban context elements such as vegetation, roads and public spaces are included to create an authentic setting for the project. They are used in investment presentations, off-plan apartment sales and competition entries, and the quality of the visualization directly influences how the project is perceived by potential buyers. The starting price is €1,000, and increases according to the complexity of the building, the number of floors, the level of environmental detail and the number of requested frames.
Residential building visualization variations
Additional versions of an existing visualization can show different facade materials, alternative urban scenarios, weather conditions or new camera perspectives. These variations allow the presentation to be tailored to different audiences, and are particularly useful when a project is being presented to different groups, from investors to future residents. The starting price is €300, determined by the scope of changes and any requirements for additional post-production.
3D animation
3D animation enables the presentation of a space, object or product in motion: a walkthrough of an interior, a flyover of a building or a step-by-step presentation of an industrial process. Unlike static renders, animation conveys the spatial experience and dynamics in a way that photography cannot achieve, and it is particularly effective when explaining how something functions or what it looks like from the inside. Scene preparation starts at €100 per scene, and rendering at €20 per second of video, with the final price depending on duration, complexity and the number of frames.
360° panorama
A 360° panorama allows the viewer to look freely in all directions from a single viewpoint, creating a sense of presence that a static render cannot provide. A photographic 360° panorama, produced by shooting on location, costs between €300 and €800, while a CGI 360° panorama, produced entirely digitally from project documentation without the need for a completed space, costs between €500 and €1,500. The CGI option is the only viable solution for spaces that do not yet exist, such as apartments under construction or planned commercial premises.
Virtual tour
A virtual tour is an interactive presentation that allows users to move freely through a space: unlike a panorama that offers a view from a single point, a virtual tour connects multiple locations and provides the experience of actually walking through a building. Navigation is intuitive and requires no special devices or software, making it ideal for web presentations or trade show displays. It is used for off-plan apartments, hotel rooms, commercial spaces and public buildings. The price ranges from €1,000 to €4,000, depending on the number of scenes, the level of interactivity and the complexity of the navigation structure.
Key factors that shape the price
The cost of 3D visualization is the result of a combination of factors that determine the complexity of production. Detailed models, complex materials and advanced lighting effects increase the time required for modelling and rendering, while each additional view requires a new composition and technical preparation. Visualizations intended for high resolution, particularly for print or large-format output, require longer rendering times due to the greater level of detail involved. Availability and completeness of project documentation is also a key factor: full technical drawings and a detailed material specification shorten the process and reduce the number of revisions, while incomplete documentation extends the preparation phase and can affect the final price. For this reason, pricing is always determined individually following an assessment of the actual project requirements.

Frequently asked questions about 3D visualization pricing
How much does an apartment 3D visualization cost?
A 3D visualization of an apartment or interior starts at €500. The final price depends on the size of the space, the number of views and the level of detail required. Smaller apartments with simpler interiors are closer to the starting price, while larger spaces with complex materials and multiple camera angles require more time and resources.
How much does a house 3D visualization cost?
Visualization of a family house starts at €800. The price is influenced by the number of floors, the complexity of the architecture, the scope of the surrounding environment that is modelled and the number of requested views. If the project includes both interior and exterior, the price is calculated as a combination of both categories.
How much does a residential building visualization cost?
Visualization of a residential building starts at €1,000 and increases depending on the size and complexity of the project. Buildings with multiple floors, atypical architecture or demanding urban context require more time for modelling and scene preparation, which is reflected in the final price.
How much does a 3D animation cost?
The price of 3D animation is divided into scene preparation, starting at €100 per scene, and rendering starting at €20 per second of video. A short 30-second presentation animation with one scene therefore starts at around €700, with projects involving multiple scenes, complex camera movement or specific effects increasing proportionally.
How much does a 360° panorama cost?
A photographic 360° panorama, produced by shooting on location, costs between €300 and €800. A CGI 360° panorama, produced entirely digitally without the need for a completed space, costs between €500 and €1,500. The CGI option is the only solution for spaces that have not yet been built.
How much does a virtual tour cost?
A virtual tour costs between €1,000 and €4,000, depending on the number of locations the user can navigate through, the level of interactivity and the complexity of the technical implementation. Smaller projects with a few connected panoramas are closer to the lower end, while complex interactive presentations with additional functionality reach the upper range.
Is it possible to order just one type of visualization, without a package?
Yes, all types of visualization are available as standalone services with no obligation to combine them. A client can order only an exterior view of a house, a single 360° panorama or a short animation, depending on the needs of the project. Combining multiple types within one project often results in a saving, as part of the modelling work is shared between services.
What is needed to start a visualization project?
To begin production, project documentation is required: architectural drawings in digital format, a material specification and any references for the style and atmosphere the client wishes to achieve. The more complete the documentation, the faster the process and the fewer revisions are needed. The Prolink team conducts an initial consultation to define all the necessary information before production begins.
