Renderings for interior designers and decorators (cont')

The interior design

You must provide colours, furniture, floor coverings, surfaces, drapes, etc. Once again, everything that can been seen in the real interior needs to be re-created in the interior design rendering, so we need to get the details to make it work. We can improvise in 3D to some extent, but it isn't advisable to force us to improvise more than 25% of the final product. You can supply furniture details from our 3D rendering catalogues or from photographs.

When taking interior photographs please supply all angles to help us. Digital pictures are fine, in fact they are best. Remember, we need to recreate each piece and detail design as best as possible, so the more pictures you give us the easier our job will be.

Interior fabric samples need to be photographed to include as much surface and design pattern as possible, ensuring that we can see the beginning and endpoints of each pattern. Try to take pictures of fabrics perpendicular to the surface to ensure the sample is not distorted. You can do this by hanging a sample on a wall or by putting it on the floor and standing above it (or on a chair/ladder) to take the picture. Even lighting is good and if the room is bright enough then preferably with no flash. If you cant get a sharp picture without flash then it is OK to use it.

You also need to supply a floor plan with the location of all items, colours and details.
