Create stunning photorealistic images and videos from any CAD system, real life photo, or even a quick napkin sketch.
IMAGE RENDERS COMPLETE IN 60 SECONDS.
Marmoset Toolbag 4 is a legacy desktop 3D art tool for real-time rendering, ray-traced presentation, texture baking, 3D painting, turntables, and animation of prepared assets. It fits game art, character, prop, film, and product visualization workflows where artists import geometry, assign materials, light scenes, and tune cameras.
Toolbag 4 is for artists who can bring in a prepared 3D asset, set up PBR materials, lights, cameras, and baking or animation controls, then tune the result in a GPU-driven desktop renderer. RENDERCAD is the lighter path when the useful input is already a CAD viewport, product image, or design screenshot and the goal is a polished still render without exporting meshes or building a Toolbag scene. Use Toolbag 4 for asset presentation, texture baking, turntables, and material control; use RENDERCAD for fast image-to-render iteration across CAD, product, and architecture workflows.
Toolbag 4 and RENDERCAD solve adjacent but different rendering jobs. Toolbag 4 expects an artist-controlled 3D scene: imported geometry, texture maps, PBR material setup, HDRI or dynamic lighting, camera framing, render mode selection, and optional baking or texture projects. It rewards users who need direct control over asset presentation, map baking, material authoring, animation, and Marmoset Viewer delivery, but it depends on desktop setup and local graphics hardware. RENDERCAD starts from an existing viewport, product composition, architectural view, or design screenshot and generates an AI-refined still in the browser. It does not replace Toolbag for baking maps, painting materials, turntables, or interactive viewers, but it is more direct for concept comparisons, client-ready stills, landing page visuals, and fast design review when model cleanup or renderer setup would slow the job down.
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 Toolbag 4
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.
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.
