Turn Enscape for Archicad views into polished AI render variations.
Archicad-integrated real-time rendering, walkthrough, panorama, and VR workflow
Archicad-integrated real-time rendering, walkthrough, panorama, and VR workflow
Open the Archicad project in Enscape, enable live updates while the model is still changing, and frame the view that best explains the design: a saved camera, synced Archicad perspective, sectioned room view, streetscape, courtyard, lobby, unit plan, or material option. Hide overlays, capture the viewport or exported still, and use RENDERCAD to create refined still variations for client review decks, entitlement exhibits, leasing visuals, proposal covers, portfolio images, and option comparisons. Keep Enscape for live navigation, VR, panoramas, and model-linked feedback; use RENDERCAD when the immediate need is a polished still from an existing Archicad visualization.
Modeled by CADSharp in Onshape. Rendered with RENDERCAD.

Get StartedCommon solutions for Enscape for ArchiCAD users
Instead of complex UV mapping, upload your image or use the RENDERCAD overlay tool to snip your screen. Type "Carbon Fiber" in the prompt, select "Exact" style, and in about 10-60 seconds, the AI will retexture your image realistically.
Snap a picture using the RENDERCAD overlay. Select the "Realistic" engine, set Condition to "Clean," and prompt "Brushed Aluminum." The AI applies the texture orientation correctly to your geometry.
Don't struggle with refraction settings. Upload your image or snip your view with RENDERCAD, set Style to "Creative," and prompt "Clear Glass." The engine handles transparency and light bending automatically.
Upload a CAD screenshot, real photo, or hand drawing to RENDERCAD Studio. Add "Cold beverage with condensation" to your custom prompt. The "Realistic" engine will generate realistic droplets on the surface.
Use the RENDERCAD overlay. Prompt for "Injection Molded Plastic" and in Advanced Settings, set Condition to "Clean" for a smooth, factory-fresh look.
You don't need texture maps. Upload your image or snip your screen with RENDERCAD, then set Advanced Settings > Condition to "Dirty" or "Heavily Used" to instantly apply rust and age.
Capture your model and prompt "Oak Wood" in RENDERCAD. The Image-to-Image engine generates a unique, non-repeating grain pattern that fits your object's form.
Upload your image or snip your screen. In RENDERCAD, prompt "Polished Gold" and set Background to "Grey" or "Gradient." The AI generates the necessary reflections to simulate a metallic surface.
No need for bump maps. Use the RENDERCAD overlay to capture the view, then prompt "Black Leather." The AI interprets the depth and stitching automatically.
Capture your screen and use the custom prompt "Glowing Neon Blue Lights." The AI paints the bloom and light spill directly onto your image.
While RENDERCAD generates full rectangular images, you can set the Background to "White" or "Grey" in Advanced Settings for easy masking in post-production.
Upload your image or snip the model, then prompt for "Denim," "Cotton," or "Velvet." RENDERCAD applies the weave texture naturally over the surface.
