**Even though you are not prepared for everything in this list, that is totally fine. This check list is for recommendation only in order to prepare accordingly. Many 3d visualisers have a lot of experience and knowledge to handle the situation, do not worry and just talk to them for inquiries. 


1. CAD drawings 

CAD drawing is the best source for the 3d designers to start analyzing and modeling accurately. Prepare your latest version/finalized drawing package including :


-Site plan

-Floor plan

-Elevation

-Landscape plan

-Section

-Detail  

-Detail  

-RCP

-Furniture layout




2. Material/Product info

Product name, model code, color, website address, material sample images

-Fabric 

-Paint (color, finishes; matted, semi-polished or polished) 

-Wallcovering 

-Wood type, grains, color, finishes, plank dimensions (if there is any wood flooring)

-All furniture 

-Artwork/painting 

-Lighting fixture 

-Millwork and hardware (kitchen cabinetry, knobs, faucet, toilet, sink) 

-Appliances (microwave, stove, dishwasher etc)





3. Indications of preferred camera angles/ locations

- Specified camera angles in the floor plan



4. Reference rendering images

-General look and mood for the spaces 




5. Courtesy

Everybody is struggling with a busy schedule, projects and personal life matters. That would be the same for 3d artists as well. Working with good manners could make someone’s day better. 


*Additional assets will be helpful for 3d visualizers. 

-Quick drawing./ hand sketch

-3d props like SketchUp, max, cad. revit etc. 

-Branding concept for your project so 3d designers can help you to get satisfying results




The more information you have, the more it helps 3d artists to understand your design clearly and execute the process quicker. Every time if there are missing pieces during the process, 3d visualizers have to search, ask, wait, confirm, those are counted as time wasted and time is money.
