When it comes to bringing furniture designs to life through visuals, 3D rendering is an unmatched solution. It helps furniture brands, eCommerce businesses, interior designers, and architects present their products in the best possible light. But one question that always comes up is: “How much does 3D furniture rendering actually cost?”
At 4dviz Studio, we believe in keeping things transparent. Pricing in this industry can vary significantly depending on several factors, including model complexity, number of views, realism level, and turnaround time. In this post, we’ll break down the pricing models, give you examples from our own work, and help you understand what to expect when budgeting for high-quality furniture rendering.
Factors That Affect the Cost of 3D Furniture Rendering
Before we dive into numbers, it’s important to understand the variables that influence pricing:
- Model Complexity
- A simple wooden stool will cost significantly less than a plush, tufted sofa with intricate stitching.
- Number of Views or Angles
- More views mean more rendering time and setup.
- Environment or Lifestyle Scene
- A plain white background render is more affordable than a fully styled interior scene.
- Resolution Requirements
- High-resolution outputs for print or zoom require longer render times and post-processing.
- Material/Texture Complexity
- Realistic leather, fabric folds, and wood grain require detailed texture work and lighting setup.
- Turnaround Time
- Urgent projects may require extra resources, which can slightly increase the cost.
- Final Deliverables
- Static images, animations, and 360 views are priced differently.
Common Pricing Models
There are generally three types of pricing models used by 3D rendering studios, including ours:
1. Per Model Basis
This is ideal for clients who want to visualize a specific furniture piece. Pricing depends on the complexity and required render quality.
Our typical pricing:
- Basic furniture (e.g., stools, side tables): $25 – $45 USD
- Medium complexity (e.g., chairs, cabinets, simple sofas): $45 – $65 USD
- Complex furniture (e.g., tufted sofas, modular storage, detailed textiles): $65 – $85+ USD
2. Per Image or Render View
Some clients already have 3D models and simply need photorealistic renders.
Our typical pricing:
- Plain background render: $30 – $50 USD per view
- Lifestyle/environment scene: $55 – $95 USD per view
3. Package Pricing for Catalog Projects
For large projects with multiple SKUs or products, we provide custom quotes based on batch size and design variety.
Example:
- 10 furniture models + 1 render each = $300 – $500 USD
- 20 models with 2 renders each (including minor variations) = Custom quote with discounts

Every project is different. Whether you need a handful of furniture models or full-scale room renders, we tailor our approach and pricing to your goals.
Tips for Saving Money on Your 3D Furniture Rendering Project
- Bundle models together: Ordering multiple models at once can save time and cost.
- Provide clear references: The more detailed your brief, the less back-and-forth is needed.
- Plan ahead: Avoid rush fees by giving us your timeline in advance.
- Use reusable scenes: Once we create a lifestyle environment, we can use it for multiple products with minimal changes.
