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.
Landscape architecture is experienced at eye level, where the relationship between planting, paths, water, paving, furnishings, and adjacent buildings is easier to understand than it is in a plan. RENDERCAD helps turn a site-model viewport, concept image, or design screenshot into a polished landscape visual for a courtyard, park, trailhead, streetscape, campus, waterfront, or residential garden. Use it to make the intended character and everyday use of an outdoor place easier to discuss while the design is still developing.
Start with a view that already establishes the important design decisions: the approach to a plaza, a path through a planted edge, the outlook from a terrace, a rain garden beside a sidewalk, or a street corner. Eye-level views are especially useful for showing the scale of trees and shrubs, the relationship between pedestrian routes and seating, and how paving, walls, lighting, and planting shape an arrival or gathering space. Aerial or elevated views can help communicate the larger pattern of connected open space, circulation, and planted areas.
Use RENDERCAD to develop visual alternatives from the same camera view. Compare a more formal or naturalistic planting character, alternate paving and retaining-wall materials, shade and canopy density, site furnishings, lighting conditions, or a seasonal atmosphere. Keeping the camera and main geometry consistent makes review more focused: clients, community members, and project teams can see what a proposed change means for the experience of the place instead of trying to compare unrelated images.
These visuals can support client presentations, design-review boards, public workshops, competition entries, and proposal work. They are communication tools, not a source of truth for plant availability, mature growth, grading, drainage, accessibility, permits, or construction coordination. Pair clear renders with the planting plans, grading documents, specifications, and technical review needed to make the landscape perform as intended.
RENDERCAD helps Landscape Architects teams generate client-ready visuals fast, so design reviews and approvals move forward without long rendering queues or scene rebuilds.
Screenshot your elevation, section, or perspective view. RENDERCAD image renders complete in 60 seconds, producing visual options for exterior façades, interior atmospheres, or site context. Review generated geometry against the source design.

RENDERCAD's AI engine understands architectural context - building massing, natural light behavior, material weathering, and landscape integration. It transforms your Revit sections, SketchUp perspectives, and Rhino views into presentation-quality visualizations that read like professional arch-viz renders.

Architects need speed, resolution, and environment variety. Compare RENDERCAD's output capabilities against the traditional Lumion/Enscape/V-Ray pipeline you're used to.
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 the native Revit model, SketchUp file, Rhino geometry, BIM database, or construction documents. 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.
Elevations. Sections. Perspectives. Interior views. Exterior contexts. Queue multiple presentation views for batch processing, subject to your plan's concurrency and usage limits. Need automation? The API supports scripted rendering workflows.

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 resolution adds 2 credits. Credits refresh monthly with your subscription.
Yes. All plans are month-to-month with no long-term contracts. Cancel anytime from your account settings.
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.
RENDERCAD is an AI-powered rendering service for CAD screenshots, real photos, and hand drawings. Upload an image and choose the relevant settings to create a rendered image or video without rebuilding a local 3D scene.
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 any software updates.
Yes. In Realistic mode, upload reference images such as material photos, mood boards, or environment shots. RENDERCAD uses them as visual guidance, and optional masks can target specific regions. Results can vary from the references, so review them before publishing.
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.
Yes. Use Image to Video with an available motion direction from a rendered still image. Videos complete in 2-5 minutes.
Standard output is HD resolution in PNG format. 4K resolution is available for an additional 2 credits per render. Videos export as MP4.
