What Is
Architectural Animation?
Architectural animation is a cinematic 3D walkthrough of your project before it’s built.
Instead of a single static rendering, you get a moving sequence — showing space, light, movement, context and atmosphere.
In a 3D architectural animation, viewers can see how rooms connect, how people move through the site, and how natural light shifts during the day. Walkthrough and flythrough camera paths reveal the big picture and the details in one clear story.
It’s the most powerful way to communicate design intent and close the “imagination gap” between your plans and what stakeholders actually see in their mind.
How 3d Architectural Animations Help
Developers Win Approvals, Investors & Pre-Sales
3D architectural animations transform static plans into motion-filled visualisations that everyone can understand.
Boards, investors and buyers don’t have to “guess” what your project will look like — they see it.
Here’s how animations help developers de-risk major projects:
- Approvals move faster – Zoning boards can clearly see massing, site integration, sun and shadow, access and context – reducing questions and redesign cycles.
- Investors connect instantly – A cinematic walkthrough of amenities, views, and lifestyle communicates ROI far better than a PDF full of diagrams.
- Buyers feel the space – Photorealistic animation creates emotional buy-in and accelerates pre-sales.
- Investors connect instantly when ROI and lifestyle are shown in motion.
- Buyers feel the excitement of living there before the first brick is laid.
Enhanced Visualization
Show every angle in photorealistic 3D. Present your project with confidence and eliminate the “imagination gap.”
Enhanced Communication
Use animated walkthroughs to align investors and stakeholders quickly. No more confusion, no more guesswork.
Cinematic Experience
Add motion, light, and emotion. Turn presentations into immersive stories that win approvals and pre-sales.
Types of 3D Architectural Animations We Create
Every development needs a different kind of 3D architectural animation. We provide a full suite of services built for approvals, investor pitches and pre-sales.
Room Tour Animation
Our 3D walkthrough animation services take buyers inside before the walls go up. Detailed interior walkthroughs let clients experience finishes, layouts, and flow — perfect for real estate showcases and design presentations.
Structural Animation
Show the story behind the build. Structural animations reveal construction phases and systems, helping stakeholders understand the project from the ground up.
Aerial Animation
Sell the bigger picture. Bird’s-eye animations capture not just the property, but its surroundings placing your development in context with views, amenities, and landscape.
Sun Study Animation
Prove how light transforms the space. Sun studies forecast shadows and lighting year-round, giving buyers and zoning boards confidence in your design decisions.
Site Integration Animation
Remove uncertainty. By blending your project seamlessly into its real-world setting, stakeholders can see how it fits aesthetically and functionally before a single permit is filed.

Animation Process Works
See how we take your plans from concept to cinematic animation.
This video below walks you through our complete process from start to finish.
Initial Consultation & Kickoff
We start with a focused call to align on your goals. You share drawings, site plans, or design preferences we make sure every detail is captured from day one.
Animation Development
Our architect-trained team brings your project to life. We stay in touch through your preferred channel; phone, Zoom, or email so you’re never left guessing.
Preview & Revisions
You’ll see early drafts that showcase progress. This stage is built for feedback, with room for tweaks and adjustments to ensure the final result matches your vision.
Final Delivery
We polish the animation with cinematic touches; advanced lighting, textures, and post-production effects. You receive a high-resolution animation that’s ready to win approvals, attract investors, and boost sales.
How Much Does
Architectural Animation Cost?
3D architectural animation pricing depends on a few key factors:
- length of the animation
- number of scenes and camera paths
- complexity of architecture and environment
- level of photorealism required
- number of revision stages
- whether we’re creating both interior and exterior sequences
Smaller, focused walkthroughs sit at the lower end of our pricing – typically in the $3,000–$6,000 range for short, single-sequence animations. Larger mixed-use developments often fall in the $10,000–$25,000+ range, depending on scope.
Most developers see ROI quickly through faster approvals, cleaner investor pitches, and accelerated pre-sales — often long before the project even breaks ground.
How Long Does a 3D Architectural Animation Take?
Typical timelines:
- Smaller animations: around 3–4 weeks
- Medium projects: around 5–7 weeks
- Large or complex developments: 8–12+ weeks
Exact timing depends on project scope, the number of scenes and how many design changes happen along the way.
We set a clear schedule upfront so you know what’s happening at each stage.
What You Get:
Animation Deliverables & File Formats

3D Animation FAQ’S
Architectural CGI (Computer-Generated Imagery) is the process of creating photorealistic images or animations of buildings, interiors, and environments before they’re built. It helps developers, architects, and designers visualize the final result with accurate materials, lighting, and atmosphere.
A walkthrough simulates moving through a space from a person’s point of view — like you’re walking inside the building.
A flythrough shows the project from an elevated or exterior perspective — like a camera flying around or above the property.
Both can be combined depending on the project’s storytelling goals. Read further in our blog on the topic.
Costs vary depending on complexity, size of the project, level of detail, and the amount of camera movement required. Most architectural animations range from $3,000 to $25,000+, depending on scope.
A 30-second animation typically starts around $4,000–$8,000, depending on the level of realism, number of scenes, and complexity of modeling and lighting.
Production usually takes 2–6 weeks.
Timeline depends on:
- number of scenes
- size/complexity of the project
- required level of realism
- speed of client feedback
If the project is large or includes multiple environments, timelines can extend.
We typically need:
- Architectural drawings (DWG, PDF, or plans)
- 3D models (optional — we can also model from scratch)
- Material references or mood boards
- Floor plans + elevations
- Landscape plans (if applicable)
- Branding or marketing guidelines (for developers)
Once we have these, we begin storyboard and camera-path planning.
Yes. We include two rounds of revisions at each major stage (modeling, materials, lighting, animation draft). Additional revisions beyond that are available at an hourly rate.
Yes. We can export high-resolution stills directly from the animated scenes. This is a cost-effective way to get both images and video from the same production.
Yes — but it depends on the stage.
Early-stage changes (camera paths, materials, minor model tweaks) are easy to update.
Late-stage changes (major remodels, new design, or re-lighting) may add time and cost. We’ll always confirm before proceeding.
