RNDRSHome designs clients fall for
Chief Architect's ray tracer gets you part of the way, but homeowners decide with their gut — and their gut responds to photographs. RNDRS turns an exported camera view into an image that looks like the finished house on a good day, in the time it takes to read this paragraph.

From Chief Architect to photoreal
Any full camera view, standard or watercolor — export as image
Drop it onto the RNDRS canvas
"Craftsman exterior, stone base, mature maples, warm evening"
Photoreal home render, layout preserved
Sell the remodel
Render the proposed kitchen photorealistically next to the as-built photo. Homeowners sign faster when they can already see themselves in the finished space.
Landscaping included
Chief Architect terrain looks schematic; RNDRS renders it as a mature, planted yard. Prompt the planting character and season — no library objects needed.
Options without re-drawing
Same camera view, three sidings, three prompts. Present vinyl vs fiber cement vs cedar in one side-by-side sheet, rendered in under a minute total.
Frequently asked questions
Which Chief Architect exports work with RNDRS?
Any camera view exported as PNG or JPG works — standard rendering technique is fine. Full camera views at 1500px or wider give the cleanest results.
Is this useful for builders and remodelers, not just designers?
Very — fast photoreal images of proposed work are a sales tool. Many builders render options during the estimate phase to close jobs sooner.
Will the floor plan and layout stay accurate?
Yes. RNDRS preserves the geometry of your exported view — rooflines, windows and massing follow your design while finishes and landscaping come from the prompt.
How much does it cost to try?
Signup includes 3 free renders with no credit card. Plans start at $29/month for 30 credits (one credit per standard render).
