In this article, we cover how to order a HOVER Rendering for a property in your portfolio as well as how to request a revision, when needed.
Overview:
You can watch the full video, or continue reading below for the step-by-step guide!
Let's get started
HOVER Renderings rely on our 3D technology to transform existing Complete 3D models into a fully detailed, photo-realistic representation of a given project scope. Follow the steps below to order a rendering for your Complete 3D model:
Log into your HOVER account by visiting hover.to from a desktop browser
Click on the property in your portfolio
The property details page will open
Click START YOUR RENDERING
NOTE: The “START YOUR RENDERING” button is also visible in the mobile app.
Complete the submission form
The “START YOUR RENDERING” button immediately opens the “HOVER Rendering Request Form”. You'll see an option to watch a brief tutorial or begin your request.
In the submission form, you'll be able to:
Multi-select the elements of the property you want to make changes to
Describe the changes by typing in detailed descriptions
Upload images that illustrate the changes you want to be made
You'll also have the ability to customize your Renderings set by choosing the views and/or design options that you want!
What is a view?
A view is a perspective of the property, rendered in one image.
You can request up to (4) views per job. Those views can include any variations in perspective, angle, time of day, product and/or color combinations. Include everything that you want to see visualized - there’s no limit!
Want to see the front of a home styled in 4 different ways? We can do that.
Need to showcase the full property: front, back, and both sides? Done.
Make your selections when you see this prompt:
In the following example, the customer requested:
One view (front perspective)
Mid-day lighting
One version with black windows and doors
One version with black windows and doors AND white trim around the openings:
NOTE: Views need to be specified in the initial submission in order for them to be considered 1 rendering order. If you order your first view and want a second view afterward, you will need to submit a revision and it will be considered an order + a revision.
On the submission form, you’ll have an opportunity to enter detailed descriptions of your project scope for each corresponding trade.
There are two ways to communicate the scope of your project:
You can type out your request(s) in the text fields within the submission form.
You can upload additional files (e.g., screenshots from your HOVER 3D model, annotated sketches, pictures of specific products, etc.). We cover this in greater detail in the following section titled How to upload additional files.
While it’s completely optional to add additional images in conjunction with typing your requests in the submission form, the more detail you can provide, the better we can make your vision come to life!
How to upload additional files
To reduce confusion and greatly improve the accuracy of the first draft you receive,
we recommend uploading additional image files to your submission form.
On the Upload Media page of the form, you'll see examples of additional files you can include.
Select the button titled Upload reference images
Drag and drop your reference images into the gray box(es) and include additional comments if applicable.
Retrieve Rendering
Once your first draft has been completed, you’ll receive an email notification. It will include a link that redirects you to the property details page on your HOVER account.
On the property details page, you’ll see a new section which will contain
A link to download the recent rendering set
A button to access your HOVER Renderings hub
Request a Revision
If you would like to request a revision, you can do that within your HOVER Renderings hub!
NOTE: There is no limit to the number of revisions you request, but please be aware that you'll be charged for each revision cycle per your pricing plan. If there are errors in your initial rendering (e.g., something you requested was not correctly visualized), you will not be charged for corrections.
