I know we've got some renderers here, so I've got a question for you.

If I provided you with a model of a kiosk (revit base or exported to IFC, DWG or ODBC)  and requested a few tweaks (void forms, nothing more) with lighting and material application, what's your guesstemate on an hours-of work basis?

I'm being told 40 by our in-house renderer and considering I've done the bulk of the work that seems ridiculous.

I'm no expert, but 40 hours sounds like he plans on billing you for rendering time.

How many different materials are you talking?

That does seem a bit high based on what you're providing; however, after materials, getting the lighting right is a lot of trial and error. Move light, bit of a render, realize it's not good enough/too much, reposition/change values, bit of a render, rinse repeat. And then account for the actual final render taking a few hours before you notice something wrong there too and need to restart it.

Yeah turns out I was being BS'ed because the team doesn't like doing stuff for my studio.  When I exported the file to AutoCAD and opened it in Sketchup myself to show it was possible, suddenly it was doable in a day or two.  awesome, for real
