An image-based starting point
Export the view, upload it and describe the proposed direction. Add reference images or select an area when the change needs more guidance. Generation time depends on the operation and demand.
RNDRS + Archicad
Archicad views, explored in Studio
Upload an exported Archicad 3D view to explore facade materials, lighting and atmosphere with AI. Processing time varies, and the resulting image should be reviewed against your source model.
AI rendering that works from the image you already have — a sketch, a model view, a photo. Ask for the change, keep every version. In the browser, no plugin, no GPU. From $19 a month, or $99 once — credits never expire. 5 free renders. No card. Failed renders are refunded automatically.
Studio is available to everyone. Create an account to get started.

Keep the source, your instruction and the result together. Review each change before continuing.

What to consider
Choose the workflow around the image you need to deliver and the control your project requires.
Keep BIM as the design authority
Use your Archicad export as the source for AI-generated materials, daylight and landscape. Compare the result with the model, which remains the design authority.
Options without re-modeling
Same view, three prompts: render brick, render plaster, render timber. Review the results with your client and select the strongest direction.
Does RNDRS need an Archicad add-on?
No add-on is needed for this workflow. Export a supported PNG or JPEG image from Archicad and upload it in your browser. Studio does not open native Archicad project files.
Can I render white-model Archicad views?
Yes. Use an untextured view to explore materials through instructions and references. Compare each result with the source, especially openings, edges and surface boundaries.
Will renders match my BIM geometry?
AI generation can change geometry or introduce details. Compare the output with your source and verify dimensions separately. The image is a visualization, not measured documentation.
Is RNDRS a replacement for CineRender?
RNDRS supports image-based concept exploration. It does not replace a scene renderer for physically based lighting, material simulation or measured geometry. No controlled CineRender speed benchmark is published.
