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.
Automotive customizers need a clear way to discuss a vehicle's visual direction before the work begins. A customer may be weighing a color-change wrap, color paint protection film, wheel finish, blackout treatment, stripe package, or exterior styling concept, while the available reference is only a swatch, parts catalog, or a photo of another car. RENDERCAD helps turn a customer vehicle photo, studio image, product image, or design viewport into focused concept renders. These visuals make it easier to compare a full restyle with a restrained accent package and keep the conversation centered on the vehicle the customer recognizes.
Start with a clean view of the vehicle and preserve its body lines, stance, and camera angle across options. Use masks to target the hood, roof, doors, bumpers, mirrors, grille, wheels, brake calipers, trim, or graphic panels. Then create comparable studies of gloss, satin, matte, metallic, carbon-fiber-inspired, color-shift, or blackout directions. A consistent set can show the difference between full and partial coverage, alternate wheel colors, or related styling packages without asking the customer to imagine the change from isolated samples.
Use the resulting renders in design consultations, estimate conversations, approvals, portfolio presentations, and marketing planning. Treat them as visual concepts, not as proof of material availability, film coverage, wheel fitment, paint match, installation method, or final product performance. Those decisions still belong with the relevant manufacturer information, installer inspection, and vehicle-specific checks. Teams that want to build a repeatable visual workflow can find current RENDERCAD API implementation guidance at RENDERCAD developer documentation. Review each concept carefully before customer approval.
RENDERCAD helps Automotive Customizers teams move from concept views to presentation-oriented visual options using reusable material and background direction. Review each output for product and brand consistency.
Screenshot your SolidWorks, Fusion 360, or CATIA viewport. RENDERCAD image renders complete in 60 seconds - no render farm, no material library setup, and no overnight wait for a single design review image.

RENDERCAD is designed for product-image exploration from clear design inputs, with controls for materials, finishes, backgrounds, and lighting direction. Generated concepts can support stakeholder review, but the source model and product specifications remain authoritative.

Industrial designers need fast iteration, high-fidelity materials, and presentation-grade resolution. Here's how RENDERCAD's AI pipeline compares to your current rendering stack.
Skip a separate local scene build. Pick a condition, material, and background while RENDERCAD handles the image-generation step. Image renders complete in 60 seconds.
Forget about complex prompts, RENDERCAD lets you pick materials visually from our library with over 2600+ materials to choose from. Need more? Upload your own custom material references or even MATCH complex material reference images.
RENDERCAD uploads and processes the viewport screenshot you select; it does not require your SolidWorks assembly, Fusion project, CATIA model, or other native source file. Review current privacy, retention, and third-party processing terms before submitting confidential images.
Stop rolling the prompt dice trying to get the right background. RENDERCAD lets you visually select from over 1300+ environments in a single click. Supports 2D, 360 HDR, and even 3D Scenes.
Queue multiple material, color, finish, or angle variations for batch processing, subject to plan concurrency and usage limits. The API supports scripted workflows for approved design studies.

Choose from 1300+ backgrounds and 40+ environmental conditions (studio lighting, golden hour, outdoor, snow). Set the mood without scene-by-scene setup.
Yes. Photograph your physical prototype or material sample and upload it as a reference for finish, texture, and color. Generated details can vary, so compare the result with the physical sample before using it as an accurate product representation.
Two engines: Fast (quick results, 1 credit) and Realistic (higher quality with reference image support, 2 credits). Both run in the cloud - no local GPU required.
Render once, then change the material direction in your prompt - matte black to racing red to pearl white. Image renders complete in 60 seconds.
Yes. Render a photorealistic still, then use Image to Video with an available motion direction. Videos complete in 2-5 minutes.
Standard output is HD resolution in PNG format. 4K resolution is available for an additional 2 credits. Videos export as MP4.
Plans start at $9/month for Lite (50 credits), $20/month for Starter (150 credits), and $60/month for Professional (500 credits).
Each render costs 1 credit (Fast engine) or 2 credits (Realistic engine). 4K adds 2 credits. Credits refresh monthly with your subscription.
Image renders complete in 60 seconds. Videos complete in 2-5 minutes.
No. The full RENDERCAD Render Studio runs in a web browser. An optional desktop app and browser extension are also available.
Your source files stay on your machine - RENDERCAD only needs the 2D image you choose to upload. RENDERCAD does not use your input images or rendered outputs to train AI models or sell your content. To generate renders, your image is processed by third-party AI compute providers, whose retention and use are governed by their own terms and privacy policies.
RENDERCAD continuously updates its AI rendering capabilities. As a cloud-based service, improvements are available to all users automatically without software updates.
