Turn DataCAD 2D and 3D building views into presentation renders.
Architecture-focused CADD for 2D drafting, 3D building models, rendering, and construction documents
Architecture-focused CADD for 2D drafting, 3D building models, rendering, and construction documents
DataCAD users often move between precision drafting, construction documents, and 3D architectural studies before a design is ready for presentation. RENDERCAD fits that workflow when you need a polished visual from a DataCAD model view, elevation, section, or design-development viewport without rebuilding the scene in a separate renderer. Use a clean viewport or exported image to explore materials, daylight, shadow tone, landscape context, and client-facing atmosphere while keeping the DataCAD drawing as the source of architectural geometry and intent.
Prepare the DataCAD view as you would for a presentation drawing: show the 3D building model, elevation, section, or massing view with important walls, openings, roof forms, terrain, and scale cues visible. Export or screenshot that view, then use RENDERCAD to generate render variations that clarify cladding, glazing, daylight, shadows, landscaping, interiors, or site context. Keep DataCAD for precise drafting and documentation, and use the generated imagery for concept review, client options, planning packets, and marketing visuals.

It is a "Zero Footprint" solution. All processing happens on our cloud GPUs, so your laptop fan won't even spin up while generating 4K images.
Since RENDERCAD is also browser-accessible, it fits perfectly into a fully cloud-based workflow without requiring local software installation.
AI excels at organic curves. It smooths out polygon edges in the render, making even lower-poly models look like smooth, manufactured parts.
It removes the guesswork of tweaking numbers. You get a good result immediately, rather than waiting 20 minutes to see if a setting was wrong.
It allows you to direct the "acting" of the video - adding steam, movement, or atmosphere that isn't present in the static CAD model.
Yes. Upload a rough sketch showing the desired lighting direction, color zones, or composition. The AI interprets your intent and applies it to the photorealistic render.
Render once, then mask specific color zones. Re-render with different material references to quickly create product color variations.
Use the same reference images across multiple models. Consistent lighting, material, and style references ensure a cohesive product family look.
Prompt for "Red velvet fabric" to get the soft light absorption effect.
Select the "Gradient" background in RENDERCAD or prompt "Reflective Floor." The AI generates a ground plane reflection derived from your uploaded image.
In RENDERCAD video settings, set the End Frame option to "Seamless loop." This ensures the last frame matches the first for a perfect loop.
If your local renderer fails, bypass it. Upload a CAD screenshot, real photo, or hand drawing to RENDERCAD to get the image you need instantly.
