From Chief Architect to photoreal

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

Prepare your source with the free input checklist
  1. Export

    Any full camera view, standard or watercolor — export as image

  2. Upload

    Drop it onto the RNDRS canvas

  3. Prompt

    "Craftsman exterior, stone base, mature maples, warm evening"

  4. Render

    Photoreal home render, review against your source layout

What to consider

Choose the workflow around the image you need to deliver and the control your project requires.

Sell the remodel

Explore a proposed kitchen alongside the as-built photograph. Clearly identify the visualization and review its layout, furniture scale and material changes before discussion.

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, assembled from your chosen results.

Studio help
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?

Builders and remodelers can use reviewed concept images to discuss proposed work. The image does not verify the estimate, construction details or a customer's decision to proceed.

Will the floor plan and layout stay accurate?

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.

How much does it cost to try?

The pricing page lists current plans and starting credits. Review each action’s displayed cost before generating.
