About Us

Visualize the Possibilites

Founded in Seattle, Washington, in 2000, 3DAllusions Studio has grown into a premier architectural visualization and 3D rendering company with a global reach. Expanding our base of operations to Central Washington in 2010, we bring together a select team of world-class artists specializing in photorealistic renderings, architectural illustrations, and immersive visualizations

3DAStudio™, also known as 3DAS™, is a premier 3D rendering and architectural visualization studio dedicated to capturing the essence of built environments before they’re built. We work with architects, developers, designers, and agencies to translate vision into photorealistic imagery that communicates, persuades, and inspires.

At the core of 3DAS™ is our proprietary CAHD™ (Computer Aided Human Designed) system. Developed by us and now a cornerstone of our brand DNA, CAHD™ ensures every visual is crafted with a perfect balance of artistic insight and digital precision. While AI tools accelerate parts of our process, the final outcome is always driven by a human designer—someone who understands proportion, lighting, storytelling, and architecture.

We don’t just render buildings—we render intention, materiality, and emotion. Whether you need a single visualization or a full marketing suite, 3DAS™ delivers high-impact imagery designed by people who speak both architecture and aesthetics.

Kathy Craft, Craft Architects/Nelson Worldwide
"Working with Russell and his team at 3datstudio has been a real pleasure.  Developing SPEC industrial projects always has a level or risk and to help mitigate that risk we work hard on preleasing.  A big part of this strategy is having beautiful renderings for our marketing process.  Russell does an excellent job, not only making beautiful renderings that meet his clients needs, but also in a very efficient and cost effective manner!  He goes above and beyond to help us make sure our projects are successful."
