How Much Resolution?
When it comes to 3D renderings, clients often want the highest possible resolution to ensure the image is as clear and detailed as possible. However, increasing the resolution can also result in additional costs and time, which clients should be aware of before making a request.
When clients request a higher resolution for their 3D rendering, it’s important for them to understand that it may come with additional costs. Higher resolutions, such as 8000px or 10000px, require more rendering time and post-production work, which can drive up the price. It’s important for clients to consider their needs and usage for the final product before requesting a higher resolution, as our standard 5000px resolution is often sufficient for most use cases. If a higher resolution is needed, clients should communicate this early in the process to avoid additional costs and delays.
The Costs of Increasing Resolution
One of the primary costs of increasing the resolution of a 3D rendering is the additional time it takes to render the image. Rendering is the process of turning a 3D model into a 2D image by calculating the color, shading, and lighting of every pixel. As the resolution increases, the number of pixels increases, which in turn increases the time it takes to render the image.
For example, if a client requests a rendering at 8000 pixels instead of the standard 5000 pixels, the rendering time could increase by 50% or more. This increase in time can result in additional costs for the client, as the 3D rendering company may need to charge for the additional time and resources required to complete the rendering.
The Impact on Post-Production Work
Another cost of increasing the resolution is the impact it has on post-production work. Post-production is the process of editing and refining the rendered image to achieve the desired result. This can include adjusting the lighting, colors, and shadows to make the image look as realistic as possible.
When the resolution is increased, it also increases the amount of post-production work required to achieve the desired result. For example, if a client requests a rendering at 10000 pixels instead of 5000 pixels, the post-production work required to achieve a high-quality result could double or even triple. This can result in additional costs for the client, as the 3D rendering company may need to charge for the additional time and resources required to complete the post-production work.

Communicating Your Needs
To avoid additional costs and delays, it’s important for clients to communicate their needs and requirements upfront. This includes specifying the desired resolution and any other preferences or requirements they may have.
It’s also important to make these requests before the final rendering process begins. If a client requests a higher resolution after the final rendering has been completed, it will require re-rendering the image, which can result in even greater costs and time.
Conclusion
In conclusion, while increasing the resolution of a 3D rendering can result in a clearer and more detailed image, it’s important to be aware of the additional costs and time it can require. By communicating your needs upfront and specifying the desired resolution before the final rendering process begins, you can help ensure a smooth and efficient process while still achieving your desired result.
