Turn Affinity Designer artboards and mockups into polished render visuals.
Vector graphics and illustration software for artboards, branding, UI assets, raster textures, and exported presentation graphics
Vector graphics and illustration software for artboards, branding, UI assets, raster textures, and exported presentation graphics
In Affinity Designer, choose the artboard, slice, layer group, or viewport that best communicates the object, room, package, sign, or scene. Hide production guides, notes, and tool panels unless they should influence the image, then export a PNG or JPG through Export or Export Persona, or capture a clean canvas view. Upload that image to RENDERCAD, describe the desired surface finishes, lighting, camera angle, and background, and use the result as a render-style option for review before moving into 3D modeling, final retouching, or marketing layout.

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 | Affinity Designer export workflow |
|---|---|---|
| Engine | Generative AI | Vector and pixel design canvas rather than a dedicated photoreal renderer |
| Output | Images + Video | Artboard exports, slices, selected-object exports, screenshots, PDFs, SVGs, PSDs, and raster image files depending on project setup |
| Resolution | HD / 4K | Depends on document size, export settings, slice scale, and chosen file format |
| Image Speed | ≈10 - 60 Seconds | Interactive design and export workflow; final realism depends on manual illustration, mockup preparation, or downstream tools |
| Video Speed | ≈1 - 5 Minutes | Designer is focused on static artwork and export assets rather than scene-rendered animation |
| Scene Set Up | Zero | Create or import vector art, pixel textures, placed images, artboards, symbols, grids, or CAD-derived linework, then prepare a clean export for downstream visualization |
| Input | Screen Snip | Affinity Designer documents, imported vector or raster graphics, PDFs, PSDs, SVGs, DWG/DXF drawings, artboards, layers, groups, and slices |
| Hardware | Cloud GPU | Installed Affinity desktop or tablet workflow depending on the version in use |
| Install | None | Installed Affinity design application; version and device support depend on the user's license and current Affinity distribution |
| Cost | from $20/mo | Access terms depend on the current Affinity distribution, account type, and region |

Get StartedCommon solutions for Affinity Designer 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.
