Develop presentation directions from selected Fresco sketches and paintings.
Upload one clear PNG or JPEG exported from Adobe Fresco. Page media shows general RENDERCAD examples and an Onshape motion example, not Fresco artwork, interface footage, layered documents, or output.
Adobe Fresco is a free drawing, painting, and animation app for supported iPad, iPhone, and Windows devices. Artists can combine raster Pixel brushes, scalable Vector brushes, and watercolor and oil Live Brushes in layered cloud documents. RENDERCAD begins after the chosen artwork is exported as one flat image.
Use this workflow when a Fresco canvas already communicates the subject, composition, color story, and important drawn details. A product sketch can establish proportion and character; an interior or environment painting can carry atmosphere; packaging art or a campaign illustration can set the visual language for a broader presentation.
RENDERCAD can explore a more photographic setting, material impression, lighting treatment, background, or presentation finish from that chosen artwork. Use the result for discussion, pitch imagery, mood exploration, or an early creative review. Keep original marks, vector shapes, brushwork, layers, masks, animation, and final illustration decisions in the Fresco document.
In Fresco, choose the canvas and crop that make the main idea readable without explanation. Keep the silhouette, focal marks, palette, and material cues visible. Hide notes, rough alternatives, reference fragments, or layers that should not influence the presentation image. A simple background can help preserve the intended composition.
Use Publish & Export and Export As to save a PNG or JPEG, then upload that flat file to RENDERCAD. Describe one goal, such as soft editorial light, a convincing product material, or a more immersive environment. Compare each result with the original artwork. Return to Fresco for changes to drawing, color, layers, masks, brushwork, or animation.
This general RENDERCAD motion example uses an Onshape model, not Adobe Fresco. Generated motion begins with one finished image and does not use Fresco layers, recorded strokes, animation frames, or motion paths.
Mark a visible area and request a presentation change to its color, material impression, lighting, background, or surrounding detail. This alters pixels in the generated image, not brush strokes or layers in Fresco.
Try a different image model for an editorial, atmospheric, photographic, or stylized direction. Keep the Fresco export beside the result so the subject, silhouette, palette, and drawn focal points remain recognizable.
| Feature | RENDERCAD | Adobe Fresco |
|---|---|---|
| Engine | Generative image models | Pixel, Vector, and watercolor or oil Live Brushes on a layered drawing and animation canvas |

| Resolution | HD / 4K | Determined by the Fresco document and selected export settings |
| Image Speed | About 60 seconds | Interactive drawing and painting; completion time depends on the artist and artwork |
| Optional motion | Generated image-to-video | Motion export depends on the artwork and device; timelapse replays recorded drawing strokes |
| Scene Set Up | Flat PNG or JPEG + prompt | Layered Fresco cloud document with pixel, vector, or Live Brush artwork and optional motion |
| Input | One PNG or JPEG | Editable Fresco artwork and content placed in the document |
| Hardware | Cloud processing | Supported iPad, iPhone, and Windows devices |
| Install | Web app | Installed Fresco app with an Adobe account |
| Cost | From $9/mo | Free Adobe drawing, painting, and animation app |
Fresco holds the editable illustration, brushwork, vectors, masks, layers, and animation. RENDERCAD interprets one flattened PNG or JPEG as a separate presentation image.
Select one composition with a readable subject and clear visual hierarchy. Hide unused sketches, notes, guides, and reference fragments. Preserve any marks or color blocks that should shape the resulting image.

Upload a Fresco PNG or JPEG in the browser, or capture the chosen canvas with the desktop app. The handoff contains visible pixels rather than the cloud document, layers, vectors, brushes, or animation data.

Yes. Adobe currently offers Fresco as a free drawing and painting app. An Adobe account supports its document and sharing workflows, while device compatibility still depends on Adobe's current iPad, iPhone, and Windows requirements.
Yes. Choose the brush type that suits the artwork. Once exported to PNG or JPEG, raster marks, vector shapes, and watercolor or oil Live Brush effects appear together as visible pixels.
No. Export one flat PNG or JPEG. The Fresco cloud document, layers, masks, vector paths, brush settings, recorded strokes, and animation data remain editable only in Fresco or a compatible Adobe workflow.
Either can work if the idea reads clearly. A rough sketch leaves more room for interpretation; a finished painting gives stronger guidance for composition, palette, atmosphere, and the details that should remain recognizable.
Choose one focal subject, crop it deliberately, and hide abandoned marks, notes, guides, or reference layers. Keep useful color blocks and material cues visible, then export at dimensions large enough for important linework to read.
No. PNG can preserve visible transparency, while JPEG places the artwork on an opaque image. In either case, RENDERCAD receives one flattened picture and cannot select or revise the original Fresco layers independently.
Mark the visible region in the presentation image and describe one change. Review the result beside the Fresco export because a generated edit can also reinterpret nearby edges, colors, brush textures, or small illustrated details.
No. Fresco time-lapse replays recorded drawing strokes, and Fresco motion uses its own frames or paths. RENDERCAD animates one flat image without those strokes, layers, frames, paths, or hidden artwork.
