One of the best ways to show the 3D exterior rendering in the real photo is by using photo montage rendering (also called photo matching).
Our client will provide photos of where the construction is or will be taking place. Then, we will create the 3D model of the future building/house... and blend it right into the photograph of the environment.
Archvizstudio3d is an architectural rendering studio, we can use pictures for photo montage 3D rendering, ensuring outstanding visuals.


Advantages of Using Photo Montage Rendering
All final renders will accurately depict the location of the project, including the adjacent buildings, the greenery, and any other surrounding elements. This ensures that we can showcase the future appearance of the project most realistically and convincingly as possible.
Using photo montage rendering can save our clients both time and money. Our 3D artists don't have to build the entire environment in 3Ds Max from scratch. Instead, we only need to create a 3D model of the building/house... and blend it into an existing photo. This approach is much easier and quicker than creating and setting up a whole 3D scene.


How to take the perfect photo for this service?
To make sure that the results of photo matching highlight the selling points of project, we carefully select the angle from which our client will photograph the environment. It is essential to present the most appealing view of the future project. Our client has the option of taking a photo at eye level from the street or using an aerial drone image. The aerial option is particularly beneficial as it allows us to showcase all the driveways, sidewalks, pools, terraces, and other design elements surrounding the building. Additionally, bird's-eye view shots are excellent for illustrating the larger area around the future building/house...
When taking a photo, our client will pick the time of day they want to be reflected in the final rendering. Adjusting the lighting in images created through photo montage can be complicated and time-consuming. Therefore, we recommend that if they want to showcase the design during a sunny golden hour or overcast midday, they should ensure that the pictures are taken in the corresponding lighting conditions. Additionally, we should consider their preferred season and weather conditions.


What will the final rendering look like?
In photo montage rendering, it is not possible to fix the horizon line and add objects in the distant view. Therefore, if our client wants any specific buildings, trees, or other items included or excluded from the rendering, they will need to select an appropriate camera angle. The important thing to remember is that the objects in the area where the 3D model of the building/ house... will be placed will not be visible after the montage.
The final quality of the montage rendering largely depends on the initial quality of the photos provided. Therefore, we always recommend that our clients take high-resolution photos that are free from noise, pixelation, and other defects. This ensures that we can create a detailed and high-definition 3D render.
During post-production, our 3D artist will refine the image by removing any unnecessary small elements, such as cars, trees, or people. However, the artist will not make any significant alterations to the overall image. In photo montage rendering, the final visual is the result of the combined effort and creativity of both the photographer and the 3D artist. Therefore, we aim to deliver the highest quality photo possible.


Using photo montage rendering is an excellent method for creating photorealistic visuals of an architectural project that has not yet been constructed. By combining a real photo of the environment with a computer-generated 3D model of the building, the final image will appear remarkably realistic. Additionally, this technique can be executed relatively quickly and at a reasonable cost.
