Photoreal 3D visualisation for architects, designers and developers

Alchemist Design Studio turns drawings, sketches and CAD models into photoreal images and films that sell a design before it is built. Since 2006 we have completed 489 projects: 3D interior and exterior renders, animations, virtual walkthroughs and 3D floor plans for architects, interior designers, property developers, estate agents and product brands.

Every scene is modelled and lit by hand, so the finishes, furniture and light you specify are the ones your clients see.

Our services

3D rendering across South Africa

We are based in Johannesburg and work with clients throughout Gauteng, in Durban and KwaZulu-Natal, in Cape Town and the Western Cape, and internationally, with projects delivered for clients as far afield as Italy, Saudi Arabia and Canada. The whole process runs online: send us your drawings, and we send back renders.
