Overview

RNDRS renders for architects, interior designers, landscape architects and masterplanners. Upload a sketch, model view or CAD export, connect it to a render node with a prompt, and chain further nodes to erase elements, extend a tight crop, upscale to 4K or turn the still into a moving camera shot.

The node canvas is the right interface for this work, and it is what separates it from a prompt box. Architectural visualisation is iterative by nature: the same scene at three times of day, the facade in two materials, the render extended because the crop cut off the entrance. Chained nodes keep those variations as a structure you can revisit rather than a scroll of one-off generations.

Three credits are free at signup, then $29, $49 and $119 a month, with a standard render at one credit, upscales at two, 4K at three and video at ten per five seconds. Video is expensive enough to use sparingly, generated renders take liberties with detail that a client may read as a promise, and photorealism from a sketch means inventing the parts the sketch never specified.

Key features
