RenderSphere is a dedicated team of 3D artists and digital media experts who collectively apply experience in art, architecture, engineering, graphic design, motion graphics, interactive media, and animation to deliver the highest quality visualization products for their clients.
A formally trained architect that graduated from North Carolina State University (Bachelor of Architecture) in 1996, Trey Tyler has more than twenty-three years of experience in design and visualization. Trey founded RenderSphere in 2011 to bring clients a level of insight and expertise in the 3D process that goes beyond what a typical ArchViz firm usually provides. Trey’s practical, hands-on understanding of the design process informs his work as a 3D artist and helps guide his team with a client-focused approach that ensures design intent is illustrated with accuracy and premier quality. This team mentality allows project stakeholders to give feedback throughout the visualization process which promotes the joint development of all final products. Trey truly understands his clients need to receive the highest degree of control, value, and quality on each project.
