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.
Live Home 3D is home and interior design software for drawing floor plans, building residential spaces in 3D, arranging furniture, applying materials, adjusting lighting, and exporting stills, panoramas, video walkthroughs, or model files.
Live Home 3D is strongest when the project starts as a house or room plan: draw walls, trace a blueprint, furnish the model, tune materials and lights, then export a view or walkthrough. RENDERCAD fits the later visual-output moment when the useful design already exists as a CAD viewport, floor plan image, product angle, or interior screenshot. Use Live Home 3D to author editable residential scenes; use RENDERCAD to turn an existing view into a polished AI render without rebuilding rooms, managing app-specific exports, or planning local render settings.
Live Home 3D and RENDERCAD overlap in architectural visualization, but their starting points are different. Live Home 3D asks the user to create or import a home-design project, place building elements and furniture, assign materials, set lights and cameras, and export images, panoramas, videos, or model files. That is useful for homeowners, interior designers, and residential teams that need editable floor plans, room layouts, and walkthroughs. RENDERCAD starts from an already visible design image. It does not replace Live Home 3D's floor-plan editor, object library, elevation tools, or editable home model, but it can help when the goal is a faster presentation render from a Live Home 3D view, CAD screenshot, architectural concept, or marketing image. The practical choice is control versus speed: Live Home 3D gives residential scene authoring, while RENDERCAD gives browser-based AI rendering from the view the team already has.
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 Live Home 3D
Yes. Add "Golden Hour" to your prompt and the AI handles warm color temperature, long shadows, and soft light automatically.
Prompt "Sunny Forest" or "Urban Street" and RENDERCAD generates a matching environment in 10-60 seconds. No scene file or environment map setup.
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.
Yes. The Gentle Orbit camera setting generates subtle rotation from a single static image automatically.
Yes. RENDERCAD runs independently as a browser app or overlay, so you continue modeling while renders process in the background.
No. RENDERCAD runs on cloud GPUs, so you can render 4K images on a basic laptop or even a Chromebook. Your computer never slows down.
Minimal. RENDERCAD uses natural language prompts anyone can use immediately - no technical sliders, shader graphs, or render settings to learn.
RENDERCAD starts at $20/month with credits that refresh monthly - predictable costs with no upfront investment or perpetual license fees.
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. RENDERCAD understands materials semantically - it knows what brushed aluminum should look like without you defining roughness values, IOR, or shader parameters.
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.
With RENDERCAD, upload your image or snip your screen, type "Carbon Fiber" in the prompt, and the AI retextures your image realistically in 10-60 seconds. No UV mapping or texture coordinates required.
