OpenRoads Designer teams build rich civil models, but review boards, owners, public stakeholders, and proposal audiences often need a clearer visual than a shaded engineering viewport. RENDERCAD helps turn OpenRoads Designer captures of road corridors, interchanges, grading, drainage, utilities, bridges, and streetscape context into presentation-ready render images. Use it when the geometry is already in the Bentley model and the next task is communicating pavement, shoulders, barriers, earthwork, vegetation, lighting, and surrounding site context without rebuilding the scene in a separate visualization package.
In OpenRoads Designer, choose the 3D model view that best explains the civil design intent: a corridor segment, interchange option, bridge approach, roundabout, grading area, drainage layout, utility corridor, or roadway cross-section context. Hide construction-only references and dense annotations, keep enough terrain and nearby features for scale, then capture the viewport. RENDERCAD can produce a cleaner render direction with more readable pavement, earthwork, structures, landscape, sky, and lighting for design reviews, agency coordination, public meeting boards, pursuit graphics, and internal option comparisons.

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.
Yes. Upload a photo of a foam model and prompt "Finished plastic product" to visualize the final look.
Prompt "Matte black plastic," "LED indicators," "Clean studio."
Set Background to "White" and prompt "Minimalist design, soft lighting."
Instead of buying a $1000+ perpetual license, you pay a monthly subscription that refreshes your credit balance, giving you a predictable capacity for rendering.
The "Realistic" engine delivers polished, color-graded images. You rarely need Photoshop because the exposure and contrast are handled during generation.
Native renderers often struggle with light refraction. RENDERCAD's AI predicts these light patterns instantly for a convincing look.
Predicting where a product will get dirty is hard. RENDERCAD's AI understands object affordances and places wear in logical usage areas automatically.
You get a reliable amount of rendering capacity every month with your subscription, making project budgeting easier.
In Realistic mode, click the Reference button below your image to add a reference photo (like real carbon fiber). Add a text instruction describing how to use it, and the AI applies those material properties to your model.
Absolutely. Mask each component of your Bentley OpenRoads Designer assembly and assign unique texture references to each, creating a cohesive multi-material render.
