Credits: tag the studio, accept a credit
Credits connect the two sides of Prewalk. An agent or developer names the render studio on a project; the studio accepts; the project appears on the studio's Credits tab, where other agents find it. Credits are on every plan.
Add a credit
- Open the project or tour in the studio and find the Credits box.
- Choose Prewalk profile and search by @username or name, or choose Name only and type a name. Name-only credits have no link and cannot carry a website address.
- Tick one to three roles: Rendering/CGI, 3D modeling, Interior design, Architecture, Photography, Development, Real estate agent, or Other with a short label.
- Click Add credit. A project takes up to 20 credits, a tour up to 10. You cannot credit yourself.
What the tagged person sees
A credit on a public tour or project sends the person a notification: "@you credited them on Harbor View as Rendering/CGI", with Accept and Decline. Until they accept, the public page shows their name as plain text. After they accept, the name links to their profile with their avatar, and the work appears on their Credits tab.
A credit on a link-only or password-protected tour or project sends nothing and shows nowhere, so a client's unreleased project never leaks through a credit. The notification goes out the moment the content becomes public.
Decline and remove
The tagged person can decline, or remove themselves later. In both cases their name disappears from the content and you cannot tag them on it again. If you then type their name as plain text, they can report it as a wrong credit.
You can remove any credit you added at any time. If you make the content link-only, accepted credits leave the person's Credits tab and return, without a new notification, when it is public again.
Who can credit me
In Settings → Profile, Who can credit me has three options: everyone (default), only people I follow, or nobody. People who block each other cannot credit each other.
The Credits tab
prewalk.co/@studio/credits lists every public project and tour where the studio has an accepted credit, with the role on each card. If the studio is credited both on a project and on a tour inside it, only the project card shows. Search on Prewalk finds the studio by name; the tab shows its work.
For studios
Ask clients to credit you on the Prewalk projects they publish. Each accepted credit is a portfolio item you did not have to upload, and other agents browsing that project see your name on it.
Common mistakes
- Crediting a studio on a link-only draft and waiting for them to accept. Nothing was sent; publish first.
- Typing a studio's name as plain text when they have a Prewalk profile. Only a profile credit links and counts.
- Expecting Prewalk to verify credits. A credit is your statement; acceptance is the other person's confirmation.
