She Shed Render

In the world of shed builders, capturing all your shed designs (in a beautiful setting) is difficult. Yet from a customer’s perspective, blurry, low-quality photos don’t set you apart from your competition.

From a lack of good landscaping around installed sheds to not knowing a good photographer, it seems almost impossible to get a picture of every single style, color, and variation of your sheds.

But don’t worry. Outdated, grainy photographs are a thing of the past thanks to professional rendering services.

Renders: The Simple Solution to Low-quality Shed Photos

Let’s make it simple.

Renders are 3-D designs—digitally created to represent real-life structures.

So, what makes renders different than Photoshop or photography?

For one, renders provide consistent photo quality, but that’s just the beginning. Let’s dive into the specific advantages of renders next.

Photoshop Images Look Fake. Renders Are Photorealistic.

Photoshop and photography have their place in product marketing. However, when it comes to capturing dozens (or hundreds) of product variations, time and money become a problem.

Even the best photographer (or Photoshop expert) needs hours to recreate every shed style, color, and setting. And the end result often lacks the authentic feel of your custom sheds.

Professional rendering services make all the difference.

In short, 3-D rendered photos are noticeably better than Photoshop (and more efficient than photography).

Take a look at a photoshopped image vs. a rendered image for yourself:

Notice how unnatural the Photoshop image on left looks (the shed is improperly placed over the pathway) compared to the lifelike render on the right, which includes shadows and landscaping. You might’ve mistaken the render for a photograph if you didn’t know it was digitally created!

High-quality rendering software allows us to swap out shed colors, features (shutters, trim, etc.), and even landscape settings quickly—without losing the natural look and feel of your outdoor structures.

With professionally designed renders, you can transform your marketing to realistic, concise, and consistent architectural images!

Give a Realistic View Inside Your Outdoor Structures with Renders

Have you ever wanted to give your customers a chance to look at your sheds inside and out with an image? Thanks to rendering software, you can!

Shed render cutaway shots give your customers a view of exterior shed styles—plus potential storage options and interior layout.

All cutaway renders are designed to scale, meaning you get a true photorealistic replica of what your shed looks like.

In other words, the dimensions of our shed renders (inside and out) match the actual dimensions of your shed in person!

Your Shed Inventory Changes. Rendering Software Can Keep Up.

If your shed inventory changes from year to year, it’s easy to get behind on product images.

But that changes when you have professional rendering services on your side.

Renders give you the opportunity to market your new shed without hiring a photographer—or trying to create an “updated” shed with Photoshop.

We only need dimensions, colors, and the style of your shed to create a high-quality accurate image of your new product!

Save Time & Money when Capturing Shed Variations

When it comes to marketing, incredible pictures are your customers’ biggest incentive to invest in your product.

No one likes buying from a company whose images don’t match their products.

We get that when you’re running a business, good product images can get pushed to the side.

But product images don’t have to take up too much of your time and money (or leave a bad impression on your customers).

The good news is that once we receive your shed styles, colors, and dimensions, the work of capturing your products is in our hands.

Plus, shed features like shutters, gutters, trim, and accents can all be added or removed without you losing time or money.

Whether you build 10 sheds (or 100), we design renders of every shed variation so your customers can get a really good picture of what your sheds look like.

For instance, check out these renders of the same cabin with different door colors below.

How We Create Renders

The first step to designing a render is receiving the product dimensions, colors, and variations you have on hand.

The more accurate you are, the better your render will look.

If you provide blueprints/floor plans, this will help us create the most technical representation of your shed possible.

Any product images or color swatches you can provide are also a bonus.

The Next Step

Once we’ve received the dimensions of your shed/outdoor structure, we start designing a virtual layout of your product.

Remember, we follow the actual measurements of your building for completed and/or cutaway shed renders!

The Result

In the end, you receive high-quality renders that you can use anywhere you would use an image (web, print, ad, etc.).

If your inventory changes or you change shed colors, features, or backgrounds, just reach out to us for updates.

We can even mimic different seasons, as pictured here:

Start The Process

Not everyone needs professional architectural renders. Sometimes photography or Photoshop are the only tools necessary to market your product.

But if you find yourself unable to capture all your shed styles and variations, we know renders can help.
