At LiFang we believe in allowing the client to get the rendering/animation right without having to be limited by the number of revisions. We encourage clients to make all the necessary revisions before moving on to the next stage during the Rendering or Animation process.
For the majority of our clients, there wouldn’t be any additional workload, but in the cases where additional workload does occur, here are some of the most common reasons:
Major changes in model design AFTER model stage will lead to additional hours of remodeling.
Primary lighting or other aspect changes requiring hours of rendering, for example, day to night time.
project cost breakdown
In the Rendering or Animation project, the cost of the projects can be broken down to 40% Modeling and 60% Rendering.
For example, an $700 rendering, $280 (40%) cost is attributed to the modeling cost, and the remainder $420 (60%) is related to the rendering cost.
Additional Workload Cost Breakdown
The cost of the additional workload depends on at which stage the cost occurred.
Modeling (40%)
Example: During Rendering Stage, the client requested to change a significant number of furniture, requiring a 20% additional remodeling workload.
40% of the project cost x 20%* additional workload
($700 x 40%) x 20% = $56 additional remodeling workload
Rendering (60%)
Example: During the Rendering Stage, the client requested to fully open the window blinds to let in the sunlight, requiring a 30% additional rendering workload due to lighting changes.
60% of the project cost x 30%* additional workload
($700 x 60%) x 30% = $126 additional rendering workload
* The % of additional workload varies from project to project due to the complexity of each project.
We hope this breakdown will give you a better understanding of our process when we are evaluating and calculating costs for the projects we work on with you. We believe open communication and transparency is the best method for efficient project management.
