Photorealistic presentation renders from ActCAD Professional DWG and 3D CAD views.
DWG-based CAD software for 2D drafting, 3D modeling, AEC detailing, and file conversion workflows
DWG-based CAD software for 2D drafting, 3D modeling, AEC detailing, and file conversion workflows
ActCAD Professional workflows often move between DWG drafting, 3D model checks, AEC details, and conversion or overlay work before a design is ready for final visualization. RENDERCAD turns those working CAD views into clearer presentation renders: capture the model space, elevation, section, or shaded 3D viewport and generate a polished image for client reviews, permit discussions, product proposals, or internal design decisions without rebuilding the file in a separate rendering app.
In ActCAD Professional, isolate the layers, blocks, and references that matter, then choose a 3D perspective, elevation, section, or layout view that explains the design. Capture the viewport or sheet preview and upload it to RENDERCAD. Use the result to compare facade materials, interior finishes, site context, or mechanical forms while the production drawing stays in ActCAD.

It is a "Zero Footprint" solution. All processing happens on our cloud GPUs, so your laptop fan won't even spin up while generating 4K images.
Since RENDERCAD is also browser-accessible, it fits perfectly into a fully cloud-based workflow without requiring local software installation.
AI excels at organic curves. It smooths out polygon edges in the render, making even lower-poly models look like smooth, manufactured parts.
It removes the guesswork of tweaking numbers. You get a good result immediately, rather than waiting 20 minutes to see if a setting was wrong.
It allows you to direct the "acting" of the video - adding steam, movement, or atmosphere that isn't present in the static CAD model.
Upload professional product photos as style references. The AI matches the photography style - angles, shadows, highlights - while rendering your design.
Absolutely. Mask each component of your ActCAD Professional assembly and assign unique texture references to each, creating a cohesive multi-material render.
Use the same reference images across multiple models. Consistent lighting, material, and style references ensure a cohesive product family look.
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.
Select the "Gradient" background in RENDERCAD or prompt "Reflective Floor." The AI generates a ground plane reflection derived from your uploaded image.
In RENDERCAD video settings, set the End Frame option to "Seamless loop." This ensures the last frame matches the first for a perfect loop.
If your local renderer fails, bypass it. Upload a CAD screenshot, real photo, or hand drawing to RENDERCAD to get the image you need instantly.
