Until now I've been fine building my project from a mental image but now that I'm getting closer to paint and other details like caliper color I'm thinking a rendering would be a prudent decision.
Who would you guys recommend for a rendering? What do they generally cost? Average lead time?
Give Ben Hermance a call at Hermance Design , search his name here on Lat G , you wont be disappointed. As far as cost it varys of course based on the complexity and if its a easy photochop or all out render, but its probably more affordable thaan you think , and its definately cheaper than a repaint
I just came to the same conclusion a couple weeks ago. After seeing his stuff on this site and then speaking with him I'm having Ben do a rendering for me. x3 for Ben.
Carter Hickman also does great work. As mentioned, cost depends on if just a photoshop of stock footage, or an all out rendering, body mods, wheels, etc. Cost is 150 to 800 to whatever you can dream! Good luck-
