Develop render-style presentation images from Procreate concepts and 3D painting views.
iPad creative app for layered sketching, painting, illustration, animation, and 3D model painting. Product designers, illustrators, and concept artists can use it to establish silhouettes, color studies, surface marks, and composition before a presentation needs a more resolved render-style image. Its 3D Painting tools also let artists paint imported models and adjust the lighting and environment used for the working view.

Use RENDERCAD when a Procreate canvas has established a product silhouette, packaging concept, interior composition, prop, or environmental mood, and the next discussion needs a clearer presentation visual. A clean drawing with readable line work, broad value groups, and one intended viewpoint is a useful input for testing material character, lighting, backdrop, and atmosphere in render-style stills. For 3D Painting, a framed view of the painted object is especially useful because it carries the artist's surface treatment and chosen presentation angle into the visual direction. This can help a design review, pitch board, or art-direction conversation examine how an early idea might read in a more finished context. Keep Procreate as the source of truth for the layered illustration, hand-painted texture, and original model artwork. RENDERCAD is best used to explore presentation directions, not to replace precise texture editing, layer structure, or production-ready 3D asset delivery.
In Procreate, separate exploratory marks from the approved direction, hide unneeded layers, and frame the canvas so the subject and intended viewpoint read at a glance. Export a flattened PNG, JPEG, or TIFF from Actions > Share. When working with 3D Painting, set the desired angle, zoom, lighting, and environment before exporting an image, since the exported view reflects those choices. Upload the selected image to RENDERCAD with a concise brief for the material, lighting, setting, and presentation mood to explore. Compare the resulting still-image directions, then return to Procreate for paintovers, color corrections, texture changes, or the next concept pass. If a team needs the underlying model or editable textures, retain and share those from Procreate separately rather than treating the presentation image as the production asset.

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.

Yes, if you are authorized to use it. A reference guides visual direction but does not guarantee style replication or geometry preservation.
Use overlapping masked regions with separate references or instructions, then inspect the transition and iterate where a boundary is visible.
Yes, when you are authorized to use them. A generated concept can guide the visual direction of a later render, but product fidelity and style consistency still require review.
Upload a CAD screenshot, real photo, or hand drawing and describe condensation or water droplets in the custom prompt. Generated placement and appearance vary, so iterate or mask a region when needed.
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, use the "Details" field in the video tab to describe elements like "Steam rising" or "Lights flickering."
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.
Prompt "1950s appliance style, retro photography."
The core workflow starts from a selected 2D view, so it does not require native CAD-file conversion or source-model upload.
Reuse a clear history image and change the color instruction or reference. Treat the results as visual options rather than color-managed proof.
Describe the finish, gloss, grain direction, and lighting, or provide an authorized material reference. Generated reflections are visual approximations rather than physically verified material behavior.
