Home Planner AI, formerly presented as Room Planner by Room Planner Ltd, is a home-design application for turning a scanned room, sketch, or blank canvas into an editable floor plan. Its core workflow is spatial planning: establish walls, doors, and windows; arrange furniture and decor; try surface finishes; then inspect the result in 2D and 3D. It suits homeowners and interior-focused teams exploring layouts, room styles, and furnishing options before presenting a concept.
Use Home Planner AI when the important decision is the room itself: capture or draw the plan, set out walls and openings, position furnishings, and compare materials or decorating directions in a navigable 3D layout. A useful handoff to RENDERCAD is a carefully composed 3D room view, plan visualization, or screenshot that already communicates the intended layout. RENDERCAD can develop that existing visual into a more presentation-ready interior image for a client concept, listing, mood board, or marketing draft without asking the user to rebuild the room. It is an image-based visualization step, not a floor-plan authoring system.
Home Planner AI begins with room authoring. A user can start from a room scan, a sketch, or a blank plan, then refine the architectural shell with walls, doors, and windows before furnishing the space and selecting finishes. Its 2D and 3D views help test fit, circulation, and the overall look of a room while the design is still being arranged. That makes it the appropriate source of truth for the layout and the product choices recorded in the project.
For a RENDERCAD workflow, first finalize the camera and the key layout decisions in Home Planner AI, then export or capture the strongest interior view. Use that image as the visual starting point for a refined render direction such as warmer light, a calmer material palette, or a more editorial presentation. This is useful when the goal is to communicate an interior concept beyond a working planner view. Because RENDERCAD works from the supplied visual, it should not be used to verify measurements, edit the underlying floor plan, or confirm that a generated finish or furnishing is an exact catalog item. Keep those decisions in Home Planner AI or the project's design documentation.
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.

RENDERCAD uses a maintained selection of image-generation models for different rendering tasks. Results can vary by model and input, so compare generated output with the source design before relying on geometry, materials, or dimensions.

Get StartedCommon questions about RENDERCAD vs Home Planner AI (Room Planner)
Yes. Request a golden-hour look and describe the mood or direction you want. The generated warmth, shadows, and light direction can vary between results, so compare important design details with the source image.
Describe an environment such as a sunny forest or urban street and use a reference image when needed. Image renders complete in 60 seconds without building a local scene file or environment map.
RENDERCAD's Create Video workflow generates a video from a single image and provides Camera and Product Motion controls. Videos complete in 2-5 minutes.
RENDERCAD can generate orbit-style motion from a single image using a Camera option. Because the motion is inferred rather than rendered from a complete 3D model, review geometry and hidden-side details before publishing the result.
Usually. Generation runs in the cloud, so it does not occupy a local renderer. Keep the relevant browser workflow available as required, and expect normal network and browser resource use while the job is submitted and results are loaded.
RENDERCAD processes generation in the cloud, so it does not require a dedicated local rendering GPU. You still need a supported browser and internet connection, and normal browser, upload, and download activity can use local device resources.
RENDERCAD avoids much of the scene, shader, and local-renderer setup used by traditional rendering tools. Users still need to prepare a useful source image, choose suitable options, describe the intended result, and review generated details.
RENDERCAD starts at $9/month with credits that refresh monthly - predictable costs with no upfront investment or perpetual license fees.
RENDERCAD is designed to create more polished, realistic-looking presentation images from a source view. Results vary by input and settings, and generated images should be checked against the original model before they are used to communicate exact design details.
RENDERCAD can generate a visual interpretation of a described or referenced material without requiring shader parameters. It does not guarantee physically measured or specification-accurate material behavior, so validate critical color, grain, reflectivity, and finish details against approved references.
Describe the wood species and finish you want, and provide a reference image when scale or grain direction matters. RENDERCAD can generate a wood-like visual treatment, but it does not replace model-level texture mapping or guarantee an exact, repeatable grain pattern.
With RENDERCAD, upload or snip a clear image, describe carbon fiber, and add a material reference when exact visual direction matters. Image renders complete in 60 seconds.
