Architectural AI rendering for legacy 3ds Max Design views.
Legacy Autodesk 3ds Max Design workflows for architectural visualization, building views, interiors, and presentation renders
Legacy Autodesk 3ds Max Design workflows for architectural visualization, building views, interiors, and presentation renders
Open the 3ds Max Design scene, frame the camera or perspective viewport, and use the clearest shaded, material, or clay view that communicates the architecture. Upload the viewport image to RENDERCAD and guide the output toward the intended presentation style: daytime facade study, warm interior, streetscape context, lobby concept, or real estate marketing visual. Keep the original model as the design source while using RENDERCAD for faster visual iteration before committing time to renderer materials, lighting, samples, and production output.
Modeled by CADSharp in Onshape. Rendered with RENDERCAD.

Tired of keeping up with the latest gen AI models? RENDERCAD is powered by a proprietary ensemble of the most cutting-edge AI engines, always up to date and fine-tuned to strictly maintain your design intent.
| Feature | RENDERCAD | V-Ray for 3ds Max |
|---|---|---|
| Engine | Generative AI | Physically based CPU and GPU rendering inside 3ds Max workflows |
| Output | Images + Video | Still images, animation frames, panoramas, render elements, and production passes |
| Resolution | HD / 4K | Set in render output and constrained by scene complexity, memory, hardware, and settings |
| Image Speed | ≈10 - 60 Seconds | Scene and hardware dependent; final-quality output can require more setup and rendering time than viewport-based iteration |
| Video Speed | ≈1 - 5 Minutes | Animation output renders frame by frame and may require batch, queue, or render farm workflows for longer sequences |
| Scene Set Up | Zero | 3ds Max or compatible legacy scene with renderer materials, lights, cameras, environment, sampling, and output settings |
| Input | Screen Snip | 3ds Max scene data rendered through the plugin workflow |
| Hardware | Cloud GPU | Desktop 3ds Max workflow on supported Windows systems |
| Install | None | Renderer plugin installation and licensing required; host compatibility depends on software versions |
| Cost | from $20/mo | Subscription or license terms vary by vendor, region, and account type |
Read the numbers. We trust you to know theirs.
Skip the setup tax. Pick the condition, material, and background with just a click while RENDERCAD handles the heavy lifting. No lighting rigs, no environment setup, no 45-minute wait; get photorealistic results in seconds.

Get StartedCommon solutions for 3ds Max Design users
Instead of complex UV mapping, upload your image or use the RENDERCAD overlay tool to snip your screen. Type "Carbon Fiber" in the prompt, select "Exact" style, and in about 10-60 seconds, the AI will retexture your image realistically.
Snap a picture using the RENDERCAD overlay. Select the "Realistic" engine, set Condition to "Clean," and prompt "Brushed Aluminum." The AI applies the texture orientation correctly to your geometry.
Don't struggle with refraction settings. Upload your image or snip your view with RENDERCAD, set Style to "Creative," and prompt "Clear Glass." The engine handles transparency and light bending automatically.
Upload a CAD screenshot, real photo, or hand drawing to RENDERCAD Studio. Add "Cold beverage with condensation" to your custom prompt. The "Realistic" engine will generate realistic droplets on the surface.
Use the RENDERCAD overlay. Prompt for "Injection Molded Plastic" and in Advanced Settings, set Condition to "Clean" for a smooth, factory-fresh look.
You don't need texture maps. Upload your image or snip your screen with RENDERCAD, then set Advanced Settings > Condition to "Dirty" or "Heavily Used" to instantly apply rust and age.
Capture your model and prompt "Oak Wood" in RENDERCAD. The Image-to-Image engine generates a unique, non-repeating grain pattern that fits your object's form.
Upload your image or snip your screen. In RENDERCAD, prompt "Polished Gold" and set Background to "Grey" or "Gradient." The AI generates the necessary reflections to simulate a metallic surface.
No need for bump maps. Use the RENDERCAD overlay to capture the view, then prompt "Black Leather." The AI interprets the depth and stitching automatically.
Capture your screen and use the custom prompt "Glowing Neon Blue Lights." The AI paints the bloom and light spill directly onto your image.
While RENDERCAD generates full rectangular images, you can set the Background to "White" or "Grey" in Advanced Settings for easy masking in post-production.
Upload your image or snip the model, then prompt for "Denim," "Cotton," or "Velvet." RENDERCAD applies the weave texture naturally over the surface.
