Handbook

Seven atmospheres, and what each one sells

Before we model anything, we choose the moment: the weather, the hour, the light. It decides what a buyer feels before reading a word. This is the handbook we use in the studio, with a real rendering of each atmosphere, what it does for a sale and how we make it.

Buying renderings?

Pick the mood that fits your project and say its name on the call. We show it on your building, in a quick preview, before production.

Making renderings?

Open any atmosphere for the full recipe: sky, sun, fog, camera and post-production, for Corona or V-Ray.

Nordic fog

No sun, a white-gray sky, planes disappearing in layers.

Retreats, mountain and lake homes, wellness projects.

Warmth and time slowing down: the feeling of a long afternoon. Shadows soften and colors warm up.
