Post-Processing 3D Effects
Effects applied after rendering, such as depth of field, glow and grading, that give renders a photographic finish.

What Post-Processing 3D Effects covers
7 services under this heading. Each is priced for the work it actually involves rather than averaged into one rate.
Depth of Field (DOF)
Blurring the foreground and background like a real camera lens, drawing attention to the part of the image that matters.
Priced per project
Motion Blur
Adding realistic blur to moving objects and camera moves, which makes 3D animation feel filmed rather than generated.
Priced per project
Bloom and Glare
A soft glow around bright highlights and light sources, used sparingly for realism or more strongly for style.
Priced per project
Color Grading
Adjusting color and contrast across renders to set a mood and keep a whole set of images consistent.
Priced per project
Vignetting
Gently darkening the edges of an image to focus attention on the center, a subtle photographic finishing touch.
Priced per project
Ambient Occlusion
Adding soft contact shadows where surfaces meet, which grounds objects and adds depth to renders.
Priced per project
Anti-Aliasing
Smoothing jagged edges on fine lines and high-contrast areas, especially visible in real-time and web renders.
Priced per project

Lighting and Rendering, Done Properly
Compare HDRI-led, designed-rig and hybrid lighting, set sample counts and denoising by measurement, and render to EXR passes so every note is fixable fast.
