WHAT WE DO?

We strive to make photorealistic imagery of unbuilt architecture. We create still images and animations based on technical documentation. Our services are addressed to architectural studios and real estate developers. We prepare visual content for every stage of the project since it’s conceptual stage (3d renderings for competitions; architect-client level) to it’s commercialisation. We create static 3d imagery both exterio and interior, 3d floor plans, 360 panoramas (also for use with VR), virtual walkthroughs as well as ‘traditional’ 2d and 3d animation.

Our workflow

We use Autodesk 3ds max with V-ray Next (both CPU and GPU) for most of our work. We also use other software for modelling such as McNeel Rhinoceros, Sketchup or sometimes Revit. For post production and 2D compositing we use mostly Adobe Photoshop and After Effects for animation. However we’ve experimented with other software including Blender, Afinity and Krita.

You can get the general idea of how our standard process for still images looks like below.

Analysing input data and other files client provided
It’s pretty much self-explanatory.
1
Modelling / Initial scene setup
At this point the 3d model of architecture is created based on technical documentation. If the model for the project is provided, we take some time to tweak it to fit it into our pipeline. We also prepare a basic model of the surroundings, however not putting too much work into it as the camera angles for the final images are not yet determined.

1
2
Setting-up the cameras / clay previews
Upon completion of the base model, we set up cameras in the scene and prepare low-res sample renders or screenshots without materials to confirm geometry, camera angles and composition.
3
Lightning/ Shading / Detail /Coloured previews
Setting up lights and materials. adding more detail to the surroundings, including foliage. upon completing that we prepare coloured, illuminated previews in low resolution that should somewhat indicate the final effect. Preferably no further geometry changes past this point.

4
Hi-res rendering
At this point everything is ready to go to production. Full resolution images are rendered.
5
Post-production
Compositing and color correction. We usually add 2d people to our images at this point. And sometimes the magic happens here for the most part. Upon completion, the final image is sent to the client. Past that point any changes/corrections are or should be limited to post-production.

Our collaboration with Peak goes back several years and it has delivered great archviz for our various residential and office projects. What stands out about Peak is their architectural background and experience in design. We consider Peak studio a partner who has proven to be creative in problem resolution, reliable and overall consistent in fully meeting our expectations and maintaining certain level of their CGI’s quality.

Olga Prokopiak Head of marketing Yareal Polska

Our cooperation with Peakstudio started few yars ago and we’d gladly recommend their services to anyone who looks for proffesional approach to making beautiful, moody architectural visualization which can help sell any project. With Peak and it’s founder Piotr we have gained a creative, understanding and reliable partner we can count on, not just a subcontractor.

Arkadiusz WróblewskiPartner at 4AM Architects

We’ve learned about PEAK when we saw their CGIs they made for an architecture studio that design one of our residential estates. That was also the first time ever we didn’t have any issues or remarks to 3d renderings provided to us.

We were delighted with the overall effect and from this point onward we’ve started to work with PEAK directly. Renderings made by PEAK studio stand out from competition, they do not need much handling from our side, and the whole process goes smoothly.

We are going to continue our cooperation and we’d recommend it to everyone who expects quality final product.

Ewelina SzantykaHead of marketing, Napollo Real Estate

We’ve worked with Peak on many projects over last few years including those biggest and most prestigious in our portfolio such as Warsaw’s Skyliner. And working on those big and complex designs, Peak archviz team seems to stand out from their competition.

Michał SadowskiAPA Wojciechowski

I can highly reccommend cooperation with Mr Piotr Pietruczak from Peakstudio. We’ve done multiple visualizations together over 5 year period. Each time Peak delivered both high quality of work alongside great customer service.
