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.
RenderPlus develops Windows rendering and 3D plugins such as IRender nXt, ArielVision, and nXtRender for SketchUp, AutoCAD, Revit, and Mozaik workflows. It fits architects and designers who want integrated material, light, panorama, and animation controls inside their modeling tools.
RenderPlus is best when the source model already lives in SketchUp, AutoCAD, Revit, or Mozaik and the team wants plugin controls for lights, materials, cameras, panoramas, or animation. RENDERCAD is a better fit when the starting point is a viewport screenshot or design image and the goal is to explore polished render directions without installing a host-app renderer or waiting on local CPU passes.
RenderPlus keeps the rendering workflow inside supported desktop CAD/BIM tools: load the plugin, use model geometry and materials, adjust lighting and render settings, and produce stills, panoramas, or animation from the local workstation. That is useful for production-style views tied to a maintained 3D model. RENDERCAD takes a lighter image-first path from screenshots or design images, so it is easier for quick visual options, early client concepts, and cross-software teams that do not want to prepare a full render scene. Choose RenderPlus when host-tool integration, CPU-based ray tracing, and detailed material controls are the priority; choose RENDERCAD when speed of iteration, simple inputs, and cloud rendering from almost any CAD viewport matter more.
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 RenderPlus
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.
Yes. Select the Realistic engine, set Condition to Clean, and type "Brushed Aluminum." The AI applies correct texture orientation to your geometry 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 handles studio lighting automatically - select a Gradient or White background for a clean studio look. No manual light placement or HDRI setup needed.
Yes. The Gentle Orbit camera setting generates subtle rotation from a single static image automatically.
Yes. The Seamless Loop option ensures the last frame matches the first for perfect looping - ready for social media, websites, and displays.
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.
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.
RENDERCAD starts at $20/month with credits that refresh monthly - predictable costs with no upfront investment or perpetual license fees.
RENDERCAD works from 2D images. Upload a CAD screenshot, real photo, or hand drawing - no file conversion, no exports, no compatibility issues.
Yes. RENDERCAD understands materials semantically - it knows what brushed aluminum should look like without you defining roughness values, IOR, or shader parameters.
RENDERCAD excels at rapid client presentations. It delivers impressive photorealistic results in seconds, enabling real-time feedback sessions during design reviews.
