Hire a 3D visualiser · Freelance or studio
Freelance 3D visualiser for hire, founder-led and run like a studio.
Looking for a freelance 3D visualiser or 3D artist to render an interior, a scheme or a product? At XIYÀTO you deal directly with the person who scopes, produces and checks your images, as you would with a good freelancer. Behind that sits a studio process: a written scope, options to choose from, revisions against written comments and files checked before they reach you.
Who this is for
For teams that need renders without hiring a visualiser full time.
Businesses that produce work to a professional standard, on a schedule they do not fully control, in volumes that would not justify a permanent hire.
Interior designers and architects
Renders for client sign-off, presentation boards and planning material, produced alongside your team while you keep design authorship.
Developers and property marketing
Interior and lifestyle imagery for brochures, listings and launch material while a scheme is still on paper.
Furniture and product brands
Catalogue, e-commerce and lifestyle imagery, with fabric, finish and colourway variants held to one treatment across a range.
Fit-out and design-build contractors
Dimensioned 3D layout studies and finished views produced from approved layouts and marked-up drawings.
Studios and marketing teams at full stretch
Rendering capacity for a defined project or for regular production work, when an internal team is already stretched.
What you can commission
Outsource rendering by the image, the room or the range.
Interior renders
Living rooms, bedrooms, bathrooms, hotel lounges, offices and showrooms, with daylight and evening versions and finish variants.
Furniture and product CGI
Studio packshots, styled room settings and colourway sets for furniture, lighting, décor and accessories.
Layout and cutaway studies
Top-down and angled 3D cutaways produced from marked-up plans, so a layout can be agreed before finished views.
Architectural and exterior views
Exterior visualisation is part of the 3D service. The published portfolio is mostly interiors and products, so ask for relevant samples when you send the brief.
Brand and campaign visuals
Website hero images, launch key visuals, pitch-deck and tender imagery, and frames sized for social formats.
Short films and walkthroughs
Product campaigns, interior walkthroughs and before-and-after reels, scoped through the video service.
How an engagement runs
From brief to final files, in six steps.
The same sequence applies to a single image and to a full catalogue set.
- 01
Brief
Send the brief and whatever material exists. It does not need to be complete, and it reaches the founder directly. The first step is separating what is confirmed from what is assumed and what is still missing.
- 02
Inputs checklist
We list what is in hand and what is still needed: plans, dimensions, finishes, references and where each image will be used. Anything taken from reference rather than measurement is flagged as provisional.
- 03
Written scope and price
Deliverables, assumptions, formats, revision rounds, delivery and price are agreed in writing before production starts, so the finished work is measured against a defined scope.
- 04
Direction and drafts
Composition, lighting, materials and mood are agreed against reference. Selected directions are then produced and put forward as options to choose from, not a single take.
- 05
Revisions
Revisions are worked against your written comments on the chosen route, within the rounds agreed in the scope, so changes are traceable rather than remembered.
- 06
Checks and final files
Nothing is issued without a review against the agreed scope, including reopening the delivered files. Finals are exported in the formats, ratios and resolutions each placement needs.
Inputs checklist
Imagery can be produced from partial information, provided the fixed geometry and the design intent are established.
- Floor plans, layouts and marked-up drawings
- Measured dimensions and site photographs
- Material, finish and colour references
- Existing product photography and specification sheets
- Mood boards and reference imagery
- Brand guidelines, palettes and typefaces
- Written direction on mood, audience and intended placement
Final files and formats
Placement decides the format: a presentation board, a brochure spread and a listing thumbnail each get their own export.
- High-resolution still images in the agreed ratios
- Export variants for web, print, presentation and social
- Print-ready files at a specified resolution and colour profile
- Material, finish and colourway variants of selected views
- File structure and naming to your own conventions
- Working files retained, and source assets on request
Why a studio process
What you can count on, written into every brief.
Many freelance visualisers work this carefully, and a good one is worth keeping. The difference here is that these are the standing terms of every engagement, not something to negotiate each time.
A written brief and scope
Deliverables, assumptions, output formats and revision rounds are settled in writing before production, on every brief.
One accountable lead
The founder scopes the work, leads production and carries out the final check. Where an independent specialist is brought in, it is against a written brief and into the same review.
Checks before anything is issued
Work is reviewed against the agreed scope before delivery, delivered files are reopened, and anything provisional is recorded rather than presented as fact.
Revision rounds you can count
The number of rounds is agreed up front, and each round is worked against written comments on the route you chose.
File standards
Ratios, resolution and colour profile are planned for each placement, and files follow the naming and structure your team already uses.
Confidentiality
Confidentiality terms can be agreed before you share unreleased designs. Clients who are not named in the portfolio stay unnamed; the sector is given instead.
Continuity
Working files are retained, so a set can be extended later with another room, product or finish, held to the same direction as the original images.

Pricing and engagement
A starting price, then a fixed scope.
$10USD / image, starting price
Starting prices in USD. Final scope, quantities, revisions and delivery are agreed before work begins. Send your brief for a tailored quote.
Project
A clear scope, agreed deliverables and a fixed quote. A sensible way to start, even with a single image.
Ongoing support
Reliable extra capacity for your team's regular production work, held to the same direction and file standards from one set to the next.
Portfolio
Production renders and client films.
A selection of production renders, followed by two furniture campaign films made for named clients.
Moon Chair Cinematic Campaign
A cinematic campaign built around a single furniture piece, carrying the product story from factory floor through to showroom setting in short-form.
Kozena Luxury Furniture Campaign
A premium cinematic product showcase for a luxury sofa and furniture range.
Questions
Before you hire a 3D visualiser.
Are you a freelancer or a studio?
A founder-led studio. Chaitanya Gaikwad scopes each engagement, leads production and carries out the final check before anything is issued, and you deal with him directly from the first message to handover. When a project needs more hands, independent specialists are brought in against a written brief, but the scope and the sign-off stay with him. About the founder.
How much does a 3D render cost?
3D renders start at $10 (USD) per image. The final price depends on image complexity and the source material you can supply, and it is agreed in writing before work begins. See starting prices.
How long does a render take?
There is no fixed turnaround, because timing depends on the number of views, the complexity of the scene and how complete the inputs are. The delivery date is agreed in the written scope before production. Client contact runs from the UK and production is scheduled from India, so work can continue after a UK working day has closed.
How many revisions are included?
The number of revision rounds is agreed in writing as part of the scope, before production starts. Each round is worked against your written comments on the direction you chose.
What do I need to send?
Whatever exists: floor plans or marked-up drawings, measured dimensions, site photographs, finish and colour references, product photography, mood boards, brand guidelines and a note on where the images will be used. It does not need to be complete; missing information is listed before any scope is proposed.
What files will I receive?
High-resolution stills in the agreed ratios, with export variants for web, print, presentation and social, and print-ready files at the resolution and colour profile you specify. Working files are retained so the set can be extended later, and source assets are available on request.
Can you keep an unreleased project confidential?
Yes. Confidentiality terms can be agreed before you share sensitive drawings or products. Please do not send confidential material through the enquiry form until they are in place. Work is only shown in the portfolio with permission, and unnamed clients are described by sector.
Do you work with clients outside the UK?
Yes. Everything is delivered digitally, and reviews run on the channels you already use, scheduled around your working day.
