Polished event lighting renders from Vectorworks Vision previz views.
Vectorworks previsualization software for live event lighting, DMX cueing, and show design
Vectorworks previsualization software for live event lighting, DMX cueing, and show design
Prepare your Vision scene from Vectorworks or MVR/GDTF data, patch and cue the lighting enough to communicate the intended look, then set the camera to a front-of-house, stage, balcony, or detail view. Capture a clean screenshot with the key fixtures, scenic pieces, screens, and audience-facing sightlines visible. Upload that image to RENDERCAD and describe the desired presentation finish - concert lighting render, theatre scene, corporate event concept, festival stage, or immersive venue preview. Use the result as a polished still while keeping Vectorworks Vision as the place for fixture data, DMX playback, console testing, and show programming.
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 | Vectorworks Vision |
|---|---|---|
| Engine | Generative AI | Real-time previsualization for lighting fixtures, media, and scene geometry |
| Output | Images + Video | Live previz views, still captures, DMX recordings, and show programming context |
| Resolution | HD / 4K | Viewport and output settings depend on the local workstation and display workflow |
| Image Speed | ≈10 - 60 Seconds | Interactive real-time playback depends on scene complexity, fixture data, and hardware |
| Video Speed | ≈1 - 5 Minutes | Playback and recorded output are driven by real-time previz performance and DMX data |
| Scene Set Up | Zero | Vectorworks or MVR/GDTF scene with fixture modes, patching, console input, media inputs, and camera views |
| Input | Screen Snip | Vectorworks Send to Vision workflow, MVR/GDTF data, supported 3D assets, console input, or recorded DMX |
| Hardware | Cloud GPU | Desktop software for supported Mac and Windows workflows |
| Install | None | Desktop Vision installation and valid license access required |
| Cost | from $20/mo | Handled through eligible Vectorworks licensing and account access rather than a simple standalone checkout |

Get StartedCommon solutions for Vectorworks Vision 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.
