Why you should work with us instead of hiring an in-house 3d artist.

When it comes to 3D renderings, architects, designers, and real estate developers face a crucial decision: Should you hire an in-house 3D artist or collaborate with a specialized creative agency like ATRIUM? While having an in-house team might seem like the most straightforward option, outsourcing to an agency offers unparalleled flexibility, quality, and efficiency.

In this guide, we’ll compare In-House 3D Artist vs Atrium in terms of expertise, cost, scalability, and overall impact on your business. By the end, you'll have a clear picture of which choice aligns best with your needs.

What is the best choice for you?

1. High Costs with Limited Flexibility

Hiring a full-time In-house 3D artist means committing to a salary, benefits, hardware, and software expenses. A quality artist can command $60,000–$90,000 per year, and that’s before factoring in additional costs like high-performance computers and rendering software subscriptions.

2. Limited Expertise

An in-house artist may excel in certain areas but might not have a diverse skill set. They often specialize in specific types of renderings and may struggle when faced with large-scale commercial developments or highly detailed interior visualizations.

3. Scalability Issues

Your workload fluctuates—some months are packed with projects, while others are quieter. An in-house 3D artist may not always have enough work to justify their salary, and during peak times, a single artist may struggle to meet deadlines.

4. Resource Constraints

Most design firms don’t have access to an extensive library of high-quality 3D assets, textures, or cutting-edge rendering software. This can limit the quality and realism of the final output.

5. Turnover and Commitment Concerns

The 3D industry is highly dynamic, and in-house 3D artists often move on to freelance or studio opportunities. High turnover rates lead to time-consuming hiring processes and potential disruptions in project timelines.
