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.
Shapespark turns architectural 3D models into interactive WebGL walkthroughs that clients can open in a browser, embed on a site, or view in VR. It is aimed at architects, interior designers, archviz teams, and real-estate marketers who need shareable 3D presentations rather than only still renders.
Shapespark is strongest when the deliverable is an explorable architectural walkthrough: import a 3D model, tune lighting and materials, bake lightmaps, then share or embed a WebGL scene. RENDERCAD is a lighter fit when you already have a CAD, product, or interior viewport and need a polished still image quickly, without building a hosted tour or preparing a full interactive scene.
Shapespark and RENDERCAD solve different presentation jobs. Shapespark takes a prepared architectural model through an editor workflow: import from common design tools or FBX, DAE, or OBJ, adjust lighting and materials, bake the lightmap for realistic browser performance, add views or hotspots, then upload and share a WebGL walkthrough. That is useful for apartment tours, real-estate marketing, client reviews, VR viewing, embedded presentations, and projects where visitors need freedom to walk through the space. The tradeoff is setup: the scene must be modeled, exported or imported, optimized, baked, hosted, and maintained as a 3D presentation. RENDERCAD is better for fast visual polish from an existing viewport or image when the final asset is a still render, concept image, product shot, or marketing visual. Use Shapespark when interaction, floor-plan navigation, guided views, or web embedding are the point. Use RENDERCAD when you need a strong image from the design you already have and do not need an interactive browser scene.
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 Shapespark
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.
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.
