Presentation-focused AI images from Autodesk ReCap point cloud and structured-scan views.
Autodesk ReCap helps reality-capture teams register, inspect, and organize laser-scan point clouds for existing buildings, facilities, sites, and objects. A ReCap project may contain a dense point cloud for spatial review and, for supported structured scans, RealView imagery from a scan position. These views are practical evidence for architecture, construction, surveying, facilities, and heritage work, but their technical appearance can make a presentation difficult for non-specialists to read. RENDERCAD can use a deliberately composed ReCap screenshot to create a presentation-oriented still that communicates the character of a room, facade, equipment area, or site context. It is best suited to project updates, design discussions, proposal concepts, and stakeholder boards where the goal is visual communication alongside the scan. The resulting image should not be used to infer dimensions, verify capture coverage, or replace the ReCap project as the record of existing conditions.
Open the registered ReCap project and decide whether the point cloud or a RealView image gives the clearest explanation of the subject. Isolate the relevant room, elevation, plant area, or exterior zone by hiding unneeded scans or using a Limit Box, then frame a camera angle that preserves recognizable edges and context. RealView is not available for every project, so use the point-cloud view when the project is unstructured or when that view better explains the spatial condition. Capture a clean viewport image with measurement tools, selection states, and other interface clutter removed unless they are needed for the discussion. Upload the selected image to RENDERCAD and direct the result toward a credible lighting, material, or presentation treatment for a single still. Compare the finished visual back to ReCap before sharing it, and retain ReCap for measurements, point inspection, scan registration, and any decision that depends on the captured data.

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.
Yes, if you are authorized to use the photo. It can guide the environment, while placement, lighting, and shadows remain generated interpretations.
Yes. Draw a mask around the product and direct the background region separately. Inspect the full result because unmasked content can still drift during generation.
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.
Describe the velvet color, pile direction, and lighting, or add an authorized material reference. Review the generated texture because fiber scale and light response can vary.
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.
Choose the Orbit camera preset in the Video panel. Review the generated clip because viewpoint changes and product details can vary from a single-image input.
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.
