Turn Garden Planner 3D walk-through views into landscape concept visuals.
Garden Planner 3D supports a 2D garden layout with a walk-through 3D view, helping gardeners and landscape designers communicate how paths, planting, boundaries, and outdoor features will feel together. A clean view from the planned route through the garden can become the starting point for a more atmospheric landscape concept image in RENDERCAD.
Garden Planner 3D supports a 2D garden layout with a walk-through 3D view, helping gardeners and landscape designers communicate how paths, planting, boundaries, and outdoor features will feel together. A clean view from the planned route through the garden can become the starting point for a more atmospheric landscape concept image in RENDERCAD.
Garden Planner 3D is a practical starting point for a garden idea that needs to be understood from more than a top-down plan. Use the 2D layout to establish the site boundary and position beds, paths, paving, fences, decks, pools, ponds, and representative planting. Then use the walk-through 3D view to assess what a visitor may see at eye level: how a path leads toward a focal point, how screening affects a patio, or whether the balance of planted and hard surfaces feels right.
When the layout and camera position are settled, a Garden Planner 3D view can give RENDERCAD a useful compositional reference for a homeowner review, design proposal, or outdoor concept board. Retain the route, key structures, and spatial hierarchy from the source view, then develop the intended season, planting fullness, material character, light, and atmosphere for the presentation. This is especially useful when the plan needs to convey the experience of arriving, sitting, or moving through a garden rather than simply listing its elements.
The enhanced image should support a design conversation, not establish technical facts. Keep Garden Planner 3D as the source of truth for the editable layout and any plan-based decisions. Check the final visual against the plan before sharing it, and use separate site, planting, and construction information for dimensions, levels, quantities, plant suitability, and build instructions.
First, make the 2D plan readable: set the boundary, circulation, main hardscape, structures, and planting areas before moving to the 3D walk-through. Choose a view that explains one clear design moment, such as the approach to a patio, a sightline across a pond, or the relationship between a seating area and its planting. Capture a clean image with no selected objects, labels, or interface panels.
Use that image in RENDERCAD with a brief that preserves the visible layout while describing the desired presentation qualities. For example, specify a soft evening garden, mature layered planting, warm paving, or a calm view from the terrace. Compare the result with the 2D plan, adjust the Garden Planner 3D layout when the design changes, and reserve the final image for communication rather than measurement or construction approval.

RENDERCAD uses a maintained selection of image-generation models for different rendering tasks. Results can vary by model and input, so compare generated output with the source design before relying on geometry, materials, or dimensions.

The screenshot workflow uses image inputs, presets, and plain-language direction. Teams should still review generated output with the appropriate designer or product owner.
Use a condition preset or regional instruction to explore dust, scratches, or age. Generated wear patterns do not predict real product use.
A supported browser can submit a clear 2D input without a local rendering GPU.
The current desktop app or browser extension can capture a selected view and send the screenshot into RENDERCAD without a CAD rendering plugin.
Use only images you are authorized to submit. A style reference can guide lighting, composition, or general aesthetic, but it does not guarantee that the source design remains unchanged.
Image references and masks are applied during the initial image render. Once you have your styled image, use the Image-to-Video feature to animate it with camera movements.
A reference can communicate palette, material, lighting, or composition more directly than text alone. Generated results still require review and may need additional iterations.
Upload a clear image or use a current capture tool, describe carbon fiber, and add an authorized material reference when a specific visual direction matters. Image renders complete in 60 seconds.
Upload a clear image, choose the Realistic engine, and describe a large soft light source or overcast lighting. Generated shadows are visual approximations, not a physical lighting calculation.
Yes. Choose the Dolly In or Dolly Out camera preset in the Video panel, then review the clip for product and geometry fidelity.
No local NVIDIA rendering GPU is required. Use a supported browser to upload an image or a current capture tool to select a screenshot; generation runs on cloud infrastructure.
The Render History page lets you browse and download retained images and videos. Storage duration depends on the account plan, so download assets you need before they expire.
