I help architects, builders, designers, real estate professionals, product-based businesses, and creative teams turn ideas, plans, references, and concepts into clear, polished, high-quality 3D visuals. My work focuses on realism, composition, lighting, materials, scale, and visual storytelling. Whether you need an architectural rendering, a product image, a branded visual, or a short 3D animation, I create imagery that helps clients present, market, explain, and approve ideas before they are built, manufactured, or launched. I specialize in: Architectural interior and exterior renderings Real estate and construction visualization Product rendering and product CGI Lifestyle product scenes Material, color, and finish variations 3D animation, motion graphics, and cinematic camera movement Walkthroughs, flythroughs, product reveals, and visual presentations My process is organized, collaborative, and detail-oriented. I can work from architectural plans, sketches, CAD files, reference images, mood boards, product photos, dimensions, or written direction. From there, I build the scene, develop the lighting and materials, create draft visuals, refine based on feedback, and deliver final renderings or animations that are clean, realistic, and client-ready. If you need a 3D visual that feels polished, believable, and professionally composed, I can help bring it to life. Cody Curran Founder, CC3D Rendering LLC

I am a VFX supervisor/ 3D generalist working at VFX facility DAHR GROUP. I am also a commercial director with 20 years of experience on the field. In combining those skills, i always look to find that delicate balance between digital work and field work, both require lots of creativity, but being on the field means you learn to make the best decision without hesitation, and learning how to make that best decision is what i now bring for my clients as freelancer.
