AI rendering from SketchUp for Web viewports, no desktop plugin required.
Browser-based SketchUp modeling for quick 3D design, saved views, materials, styles, and web-first project review
Browser-based SketchUp modeling for quick 3D design, saved views, materials, styles, and web-first project review
Open the model in SketchUp for Web, choose the scene or orbit camera angle, and adjust visible tags, style, shadows, materials, and environment enough to communicate the design intent. Export or screenshot a clear viewport, upload it to RENDERCAD, and describe the target material finish, lighting mood, background, and presentation use. Use the result for concept options, client previews, listing images, or portfolio drafts while keeping model edits in SketchUp for Web.
Modeled by CADSharp in Onshape. Rendered with RENDERCAD.

Get StartedCommon solutions for SketchUp for Web 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.
