"I can absolutely recommend Russell Thomas and 3DAllusions Studio. Russell is a true professional who I have contracted with on many projects. He is very easy and flexible to work with. He produces quality work while being efficient and getting the job done quickly! He makes adjustments and modifications very easily and we’ve always been very happy with all of our renderings!"
"Our team has been working with Russell Thomas and 3D Allusions for several years. He and his team have always been amazing in taking our requests and translating them into accurate and very timely drafts for our review. He then turns the drafts into very realistic renderings that our clients have always been very pleased to see. Russell is our preferred “go to” team and would highly recommend him!"
"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."
