Create stunning photorealistic images and videos from any CAD system, real life photo, or even a quick napkin sketch.
60 SECONDS. ZERO CONFIGURATION. STUNNING RESULTS.
3DEXCITE DELTAGEN is enterprise visualization software for converting CAD product data into optimized real-time scenes, photorealistic images, immersive presentations, and reusable marketing assets. Its workflow centers on CAD import, scene preparation, polygon reduction, material and UV work, shadow baking, and exports into visualization, VR, WebGL, or content production pipelines.
DELTAGEN is strongest when a team needs to convert full CAD assemblies into optimized product visualization scenes for reviews, configurators, VR, WebGL, or marketing content. RENDERCAD is a better fit when the immediate need is a polished still render from an existing CAD viewport, design screenshot, product image, or architectural view without rebuilding the scene. DELTAGEN offers deeper control over materials, geometry reduction, variants, and downstream exports, while RENDERCAD trades that pipeline depth for fast browser-based AI output.
DELTAGEN is built around disciplined asset preparation: import CAD, preserve product structure and metadata where supported, reduce geometry, unwrap UVs, assign or refine materials, bake shadows, manage variants, and export scenes for interactive product experiences or content production. That makes sense for automotive, industrial product, and enterprise marketing teams that need reusable digital assets and controlled presentation environments. RENDERCAD approaches the problem from the image side of the workflow: it accepts a view of the design and generates a refined render without CAD conversion, polygon cleanup, local GPU planning, or a dedicated visualization pipeline. For teams already maintaining DELTAGEN scenes, RENDERCAD is not a replacement for variant logic, immersive review rooms, or data-preserving exports; it is a faster option for early design communication, concept exploration, sales visuals, and one-off stills when a full DELTAGEN setup would be more process than the image requires.
Screenshot the CAD viewport you already have, render in the browser, and download a client-ready still or video without exports, plugins, or GPU setup.

Get StartedCommon questions about RENDERCAD vs 3DExcite Deltagen
Yes. The Seamless Loop option ensures the last frame matches the first for perfect looping - ready for social media, websites, and displays.
RENDERCAD creates videos from a single image in 1-2 minutes using AI. Upload a CAD screenshot, real photo, or hand drawing, select Image to Video, and choose a camera movement - no animation timeline required.
RENDERCAD still-image jobs usually complete in about 10 - 60 seconds. Competing renderer speed depends on scene complexity, render settings, hardware, queue time, and final output quality.
Yes. RENDERCAD runs independently as a browser app or overlay, so you continue modeling while renders process in the background.
RENDERCAD works from 2D images. Upload a CAD screenshot, real photo, or hand drawing - no file conversion, no exports, no compatibility issues.
Minimal. RENDERCAD uses natural language prompts anyone can use immediately - no technical sliders, shader graphs, or render settings to learn.
RENDERCAD excels at rapid client presentations. It delivers impressive photorealistic results in seconds, enabling real-time feedback sessions during design reviews.
For product marketing, client presentations, and concept work - yes. The Realistic engine is designed to improve lighting, materials, and presentation quality while keeping the original design recognizable.
Yes. Select the Realistic engine, set Condition to Clean, and type "Brushed Aluminum." The AI applies correct texture orientation to your geometry automatically.
RENDERCAD generates unique, non-repeating grain patterns that follow your object's form. Prompt "Oak Wood" and the engine handles scale, direction, and variation automatically.
RENDERCAD handles studio lighting automatically - select a Gradient or White background for a clean studio look. No manual light placement or HDRI setup needed.
Yes. Add "Golden Hour" to your prompt and the AI handles warm color temperature, long shadows, and soft light automatically.
