Animations and tours
Architectural animation
A marketing film where the camera flies through the building.
An architectural animation turns your 3D model into a 30-second film where the camera flies through the building, revealing the space scene by scene. A marketing tool for brochures, investor presentations and social media campaigns. Minimum 15 seconds ($259).
The problem
A static image doesn't move people. A film does.
A brochure with 10 images gets limited attention. The client scrolls, closes, doesn't remember. A social media campaign needs motion, not static frames.
An architectural animation gives you 30 seconds of space the camera flies through, revealing the interior, exterior and context in a single narrative. The listing gets film-trailer quality.
Why this service
Three reasons clients choose Elegant Render.
Moves clients to the serious stage faster
A client who sees the animation understands the project in 30 seconds. Consultations start with questions about details, not about the basic footprint.
Lower price from an existing model
If we have already produced your exterior or interior render, the model is there — the animation is $19/sec instead of $19/sec (33% discount). An active project: $19/sec (47% discount).
Material for every channel
One animation becomes a YouTube video, an Instagram reel, a brochure embed and a meeting presentation. Multi-channel from a single investment.
Pricing
Transparent pricing. No guesswork.
The base price covers building the 3D model and the first final render. Every additional angle from the same model is dramatically cheaper — because the model is already there.
Architectural animation (from scratch)
A marketing film where the camera flies through the building. Minimum 15 seconds. If we already have your model: 33% discount.

Process
From drawings to final visuals in four steps.
- 1
Send your materials
Floor plans, elevations, an existing 3D model (if you have one) and a description of the camera path you want.
- 2
Estimate confirmation
We send the per-second price and the total budget within one working day.
- 3
Animation
We set the camera, materials and lighting, and render all the frames. First draft in 5-7 working days (depending on length).
- 4
Delivery
You receive the final film (MP4, 4K resolution). Three revision rounds for the camera path are included.
FAQ
The questions that directly shape a buying decision.
What exactly do I get for €225?
15 seconds of animation from a new 3D model. Price per second: $19. If we already have your model: $19/sec ($179 for 15 sec). An active project (model in progress): $19/sec ($139 for 15 sec).
How is it different from a video walkthrough?
A video walkthrough films an existing space. An architectural animation builds a space that doesn't exist yet from drawings — you can film a building that hasn't been built, with accurate facade materials and surroundings.
How fast do I get the animation?
The standard timeline is 5-7 working days for 15-30 seconds. Longer animations are delivered in stages by agreement. Three revision rounds for the camera path are included.
Can I change the camera path after the first draft?
Yes. Across three revision rounds we change the path, speed, transitions and key moments. Materials, lighting and geometry are locked after the first revision.
What do I need to send?
Architectural drawings (PDF/DWG), an existing 3D model if you have one (FBX, OBJ, SKP), a description of the camera path and key moments. Optional: music or a sound brief.
Ready to visualize your project?
Send us your drawings and we return a precise estimate no later than the next working day.
