realer than real SM CAD modeling, rendering, and animation services are available to design professionals, builders, real estate developers, and private individuals anywhere in the world accessible by mail or the Internet.

Technical
Most of the work shown on this site was modeled with AutoCAD and EasySite, and rendered with AccuRender. We offer full compatibility with AutoCAD Architecture, Revit, Rhino, SketchUp, and 3D Studio Max. 3D CAD models can be created from any combination of 2D and 3D CAD files, existing blueprints, photographs, and rough sketches. Virtually any material or image can be applied to any object in the model, and raytraced images can include light sources, reflections, and transparency.
Note: the images on this site are shown at reduced resolution to improve Internet connection times. Much higher-resolution versions are available upon request.
AutoLISP
AutoLISP® routines developed by realer than real especially for CAD modeling uses are available for free download at www.realerthanreal.com/autolisp.
Rates
Rates vary with the size and degree of complexity of the project, the completeness of the documents and files provided by the client, and the required level of detail in the final renderings or animations.
As a starting point, though, a single view of a commercial building of one or two stories on a flat site with a photographic background usually costs $800 - $1200. Add $150 for each additional view, and another $150 per view if precise perspective-matching to photographs of existing conditions is required.
In any case, please do call or email for further information.
