CGArchitect Recent Survey?

[aristocratic3d]

Hi everyone,

I’ve been looking for the recent survey but haven’t been able to find the link. I searched around but couldn’t locate it. I have been eagerly waiting for it.

If anyone has the link, I’d really appreciate it!

Thanks in advance

Ricy, I noticed that Chaos, in collaboration with Architizer, published an industry survey in 2023 and followed it up with an updated version for 2024 and 2025. While it's great to see these reports continuing, I did notice that they left out some important areas. For example, we don’t see details on how much time studios and freelancers spend on different parts of a project like modeling, rendering, and revisions. There’s also a lack of insight into job security, pricing structures, and demographics.

These aspects were covered in much more detail in the CGarchitect survey from 2015, and that kind of depth really helped us understand the industry's day-to-day operations.

Wouldn’t it be valuable to bring back a more comprehensive industry survey? Having that level of data is incredibly useful for studios like ours to plan, adapt, and stay aligned with where the industry is heading.

I totally agree. Every year we update the survey to make it more contemporary, reflecting the state of our industry. Some parts of the survey were removed in recent years, while others have returned or were updated.

If you have any specific suggestions you'd like to see covered in the next survey, do not hesitate: send them over! 😉
