Turn Bentley ContextCapture reality model views into polished site visuals.
Bentley reality modeling software for generating 3D reality meshes and site context from photos and lidar data
Bentley reality modeling software for generating 3D reality meshes and site context from photos and lidar data
Process and refine the photo or lidar dataset in Bentley ContextCapture or iTwin Capture Modeler, then open the reality mesh, point cloud, orthomosaic, or textured site model from the angle you need to explain. Hide measurement clutter, frame the existing-condition view, and capture a screenshot. Upload the image to RENDERCAD to create a clearer presentation render while keeping the reconstruction workflow in Bentley.
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 | Bentley ContextCapture |
|---|---|---|
| Engine | Generative AI | Reality modeling and photogrammetry workflow for generating reality meshes, point clouds, orthomosaics, digital surface models, and related site data from imagery and lidar |
| Output | Images + Video | Reality meshes, point clouds, orthomosaics, digital surface models, Gaussian splats, and exchange formats for CAD, GIS, web, and digital twin workflows |
| Resolution | HD / 4K | Output detail depends on capture quality, dataset size, reconstruction settings, georeferencing, and processing resources |
| Image Speed | ≈10 - 60 Seconds | Processing time depends on imagery volume, lidar data, reconstruction settings, local hardware, parallel engines, or cloud processing choices |
| Video Speed | ≈1 - 5 Minutes | Not a dedicated video rendering workflow; animation speed depends on the downstream viewer or visualization software |
| Scene Set Up | Zero | Capture and align imagery or lidar, run aerotriangulation and reconstruction, refine or clean the model, then prepare camera views or exports for presentation |
| Input | Screen Snip | Photographs from cameras or drones, lidar point clouds, georeferencing data, control points, and related reality capture datasets |
| Hardware | Cloud GPU | Bentley desktop reality modeling workflow with optional cloud processing and web or GIS delivery paths depending on licensing and project setup |
| Install | None | Bentley software installation and applicable processing access are required for production work |
| Cost | from $20/mo | Licensing and processing terms vary by region, account, processing method, and procurement path |

Get StartedCommon solutions for Bentley ContextCapture 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.
