Three steps

How to turn a sketch into a photorealistic render

  1. Step 1

    Upload the sketch

    Photograph or scan the drawing and upload the image. Crop out the title block and anything that is not the building, because every mark on the sheet is read as information.

  2. Step 2

    Say what it is made of

    One line is enough. Name the materials, the time of day and the setting, for example buff brick and dark bronze frames, late afternoon, dense terrace street.

  3. Step 3

    Render and download

    Set geometry strength high so the render follows your line work, generate, then download the result at up to 4096 by 4096 pixels.

Good for

  • Concept sketches that need to be presentable today
  • Marker elevations for a client meeting
  • Competition boards where options matter more than polish
  • Testing a material palette before anyone commits

One thing to get right

Ink reads better than pencil, and a flat photograph without a shadow across the page reads better than either. If the sketch is ambiguous about a surface, say what it is in the brief rather than hoping the model guesses.

How AI rendering works

It is faster to try it than to read about it

Five renders a month are free. Bring a drawing you already have and see what comes back.
