Do I need a rendering plugin for my 3D software?

No. PromptRender works from a screenshot of your 3D viewport, so there is nothing to install in SketchUp, Revit, Rhino, Blender, ArchiCAD, AutoCAD, Vectorworks, or 3ds Max. If your software can display a 3D view, it works.

Which 3D software gives the best render results?

The source software matters less than the screenshot. A clean, well-composed capture at a realistic camera angle produces a better render than a distorted wide-angle view from any tool. Revit and ArchiCAD screenshots keep dimensional accuracy for permit-stage work; SketchUp and Rhino are faster for early concepts.

Does it work with BIM models?

Yes. PromptRender reads the visual output of the 3D view, not the underlying BIM data, so model complexity does not affect it. A coordination model and a simple massing study render the same way.

AI rendering for every 3D tool

Take a screenshot from your 3D model (no matter which software you use) and get a photorealistic architectural render in seconds.

Every integration here uses the same method: a flat screenshot of your 3D viewport is enough input for a photorealistic render. There is no plugin to install, no render scene to set up, and no GPU requirement. The AI reads the perspective and geometry in the image and builds materials, lighting, and atmosphere on top of it, keeping your exact camera angle.

SketchUp

Camera angle preserved, 4K output. The fastest way to render your SketchUp models.

Revit

Photorealistic renders from Revit BIM screenshots. Ideal for client presentations.

Rhino

Transform Rhino 3D model screenshots into stunning architectural renders.

Blender

Convert Blender screenshots into photorealistic architectural images with AI.

ArchiCAD

Render ArchiCAD model screenshots without plugins. 4K output in seconds.

AutoCAD

Turn AutoCAD 3D model screenshots into photorealistic architectural renders.

Vectorworks

Photorealistic renders from Vectorworks screenshots for architecture and interiors.

3ds Max

Transform 3ds Max model screenshots into photorealistic architectural images.

One workflow, any 3D software

The steps are identical whether you model in SketchUp, Revit, or Blender. Frame the view in your 3D window, take a screenshot, and upload it. Crop out toolbars and palettes so the AI only sees the model. Choose interior or exterior, pick a lighting condition, and add an optional prompt for specific materials or mood.

What carries over from your model: the camera position, the perspective and vanishing points, the massing and proportions, and the composition you framed. What the AI generates: surface materials, natural and artificial light, sky and context, reflections, and fine detail. An untextured working model and a fully detailed scene both work as input. Render quality depends more on a clean, well-framed screenshot than on how finished the model is.

Section-box views, clipping planes, and shaded or hidden-line styles are all valid input. For construction-accurate work, a Revit or ArchiCAD screenshot keeps the render tied to the same geometry that goes into your drawings. For fast concept iteration, a rough SketchUp or Rhino massing screenshot is enough to get a client-ready image in the first meeting.

Each integration page above covers the capture details specific to that software: where the screenshot tools are, which view styles work best, and version compatibility. The step-by-step tutorials on the blog go deeper on lighting and prompt technique. Pricing is pay-as-you-go with a free plan, so you can test your own screenshots before committing.
