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.
LuxCoreRender is a free, open-source physically based renderer for prepared 3D scenes, commonly used through Blender or standalone LuxCore workflows.
LuxCoreRender is for artists who can prepare a full 3D scene in Blender or a LuxCore pipeline, tune materials, lights, cameras, sampling, and rely on local CPU/GPU rendering for physically based results such as caustics or difficult lighting. RENDERCAD is the lighter fit when you already have a CAD viewport, product screenshot, architectural view, or design image and need a polished render-style still without rebuilding the scene in a renderer.
LuxCoreRender gives experienced Blender and rendering users deep control over geometry, physically based materials, volumes, HDRI or sky lighting, cameras, render engines, samplers, halt conditions, and noise targets. That control is useful when the deliverable depends on physically plausible light transport, caustics, or an editable 3D scene, but it also means the model, material conversion, lighting setup, render settings, local drivers, and available CPU/GPU hardware all affect production time. RENDERCAD starts from an existing visual reference instead of a LuxCore scene. It does not replace LuxCoreRender for renderer research, animation pipelines, bidirectional rendering, API work, or precise scene-level control. It is more direct for concept review, product marketing variants, design presentations, and client-facing stills where the input is already a viewport or image. For API-driven render workflows, route implementation details through /developers rather than trying to mirror a full LuxCore setup.
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 LuxCoreRender
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.
