Are you curious about how CGI firms assess additional workload and costs and how to avoid them in your project? This post will provide you with the answers.
At Vizpaw, we offer unlimited free edits for each project, provided they are made in good faith. We are dedicated to perfecting the work alongside our clients. To ensure a smooth process, we encourage our clients to follow our rendering workflows and make all necessary revisions before moving on to the next stage.
When Is Additional Cost Required?
Most of the time, you won’t need to worry about extra fees. However, certain situations may require additional work, leading to additional costs. Here are some common scenarios:
1. Major Model Changes:
Making significant changes to the model after the modeling stage can result in extensive remodeling and re-rendering. This type of change is highly disruptive and should be avoided if possible.
These changes typically incur an additional cost of 30%-60% based on the workload.
2. View Angle Changes:
Please always confirm the camera angles before moving to next stage. We are happy with any mark-up and feedback. However, our client should understand that if the camera angle is changed after rendering and post-production, the whole image needs re-render and re-post-produce, which stands for re-do the image.
These changes typically incur an additional cost of 30%-80% based on the workload.
3. Mood or Lighting Direction Changes:
Changing the lighting or mood of a scene, for example, from daytime to nighttime, requires substantial reworking and re-rendering. To prevent this, please confirm the mood of each view at the beginning of the production process.
These changes typically incur an additional cost of 60% based on the workload.
4. New Requsts after Delivery:
Once clients agree to deliver high-resolution rendering images, it means the images are deemed to have met clients’ requirements, and no additional revisions will be raised. If any changes are needed, Vizpaw is willing to check and help within our scope of acceptance. Otherwise, we will consult with our client about the potential extra cost, depending on the complexity and workload of the requested changes.
These changes typically incur an additional cost of 30%-100% based on the workload.
How to Avoid Additional Costs
To avoid additional costs, please follow our workflow. We have a rigorous yet streamlined process that helps prevent extra charges and allows us to focus on enhancing quality and details.
- Modeling Stage: Ensure 3D models and view angles are correct and finalized before proceeding to the next stage.
- Rendering Stage: Decide on the mood of the view before starting the rendering process.
Our project managers will guide you through the process and remind you of key points to ensure your project runs smoothly.
