AI rendering support for legacy Fryrender for SketchUp scenes.
Legacy RandomControl Fryrender workflow for SketchUp rendering
Legacy RandomControl Fryrender workflow for SketchUp rendering
Open the SketchUp model, choose the scene tab or camera angle you would normally send to Fryrender, hide construction guides, and capture the viewport or a draft render. Upload that image to RENDERCAD, add a short prompt for material finish, lighting mood, and background, then compare variations before committing time to a full unbiased render or manual relighting pass.
Modeled by CADSharp in Onshape. Rendered with RENDERCAD.

Tired of keeping up with the latest gen AI models? RENDERCAD is powered by a proprietary ensemble of the most cutting-edge AI engines, always up to date and fine-tuned to strictly maintain your design intent.
| Feature | RENDERCAD | Fryrender for SketchUp |
|---|---|---|
| Engine | Generative AI | Legacy RandomControl physically based unbiased light simulation renderer |
| Output | Images + Video | Still images and scene files from SketchUp-driven Fryrender workflows |
| Resolution | HD / 4K | Configured in render settings; practical limits depend on scene complexity and local hardware |
| Image Speed | ≈10 - 60 Seconds | Scene and hardware dependent; unbiased final renders can require longer waits than viewport-based previews |
| Video Speed | ≈1 - 5 Minutes | Animation workflows are frame-based and depend on host setup, scene complexity, and render settings |
| Scene Set Up | Zero | SketchUp model with Fryrender materials, lights, camera, environment, and render settings |
| Input | Screen Snip | SketchUp scenes sent through the Fryrender plugin or captured as viewport or draft render references |
| Hardware | Cloud GPU | Legacy SketchUp desktop plugin workflow; compatibility depends on archived host and system setup |
| Install | None | Fryrender application and SketchUp plugin required for the original workflow |
| Cost | from $20/mo | Legacy commercial licensing and availability vary; current access may depend on existing installs or archives |
Read the numbers. We trust you to know theirs.
Skip the setup tax. Pick the condition, material, and background with just a click while RENDERCAD handles the heavy lifting. No lighting rigs, no environment setup, no 45-minute wait; get photorealistic results in seconds.

Get StartedCommon solutions for Fryrender for SketchUp 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.
