FAQ

• How much does it cost?
  The needs of every project are different. Please send us a brief and we'll come up with an estimate. But to give you a ballpark idea, most still image projects are in the vicinity of $USD2,500 for a set of two images (e.g for farm plans that is usually a masterplan and an aerial perspective). Whereas 1 minute long (i.e. ~1440 rendered image frames @ 24 fps) animations may cost up to $USD10,000 or more depending on the scope.

• How long will it take?
  The time will largely depend on the type of service and on the scope of the project.

  • Farm Design artwork may take between 2-7 days depending on the scope

  • Architectural visualizations may take between 2-7 days depending on the scope

  • Concept Art materials and illustraitons usually take up to 2-3 days

• When can you start?
  It depends on how much work we're already occupied with. If you are interested in the illustration service it is best that you contact us as soon as possible. We may be occupied for months ahead.

• What is required of me?
  Only (1) to be communicative during the service and (2) to supply any necessary data or information we may need to realise your vision.

• Do you transfer authorship rights or offer exclusive commercial licenses?
  By default, we do not offer other licenses than a non-exclusive commercial license. However, we are open to discussing terms.

• Can I have my logo/website/credits etc included?
  Yes.

• Can I modify the images?
  No. You are not allowed to modify the final images in any way, including removing our logo or other branding information from them. If you need the images modified you will have to contact us first.

• What resolution are the final images in?
  Images will come at a minimum 4000 px wide standard, i.e. 4K. You may request greater resolution, but it will affect the final cost since it extends rendering times.

• How many iteration requests can I make?
  We have included 2 free iterations. We have found that 2 iterations are typically sufficient for most projects if there is clear communication. In the event that more iterations are required, they will be priced at the ordinary service fee (or according to your membership level). 

How to provide feedback?

• Use clear, articulate and unambiguous statements or directives
  
  We love bullet points! Never use general statements. Recognize that we are working over the internet and it is often remarkably hard to understand what you envision. So for example, it is not helpful to say “Can we include poplar trees in there?”. Instead, it is much more helpful to say “Within this area outline include a stand of mature, hybrid poplar trees, spaced at a 12-meter interval within the row and 10-meter interval between the rows, with a crown width of 10 meters.”
  

• Clearly specify the extents and positions of things
  
  For example, accompany your comments with an exact visual outline of the given area when talking about area extents — such as when discussing tree planting patches. Include an exact visual point, alignment or outline that clearly and precisely specifies where the element in question should be positioned when talking about the position of something, such as for example the position of a road or a structure.
  

• Include detail about the dimensions of things
  
  Width, length, height, batter slope, etc. Consider that we have to build from scratch everything that you are talking about. If you were to build a house, for example, you’d likely want to have an accurate construction plan with clear dimensions. It’s exactly the same for us.
  

• Include visual references
  
  Images from Google or your own photos, Youtube videos, hand sketches, etc, - to assist our imagination when describing to us how something should look.
