Start with an image

Develop the drawing you already have

Upload a perspective sketch or clay-model screenshot and explore a finished material and lighting direction. The first image supplies the composition; optional reference images suggest appearance. This is image-based visualization, not a renderer that reads an editable 3D model.

What to explore

  • Add a restrained material palette to a line drawing for a design discussion.
  • Compare daylight and warm lighting on the same clay-model view.
  • Identify where an ambiguous sketch needs clearer openings or furniture outlines.

From a brief to a concept

  1. Select the drawing type

    Upload the source and choose interior line drawing, exterior line drawing, clay model or automatic interpretation as appropriate.

  2. Describe the finish

    Choose a few material and lighting elements, then name the surfaces they belong on. State which openings, roof lines or furniture must remain.

  3. Inspect the rendering

    Generate a concept and compare silhouette, perspective and object placement with the source before refining the finish.

Suggested brief

Render this interior line drawing with pale plaster walls, natural oak on the existing joinery and a quiet neutral floor. Keep the camera, room envelope, doors, windows and all drawn furniture in place. Use soft daylight from the existing windows. No added openings, people or text; output one realistic scene.

How to review the result

  • Compare perspective, massing or room envelope, openings and furniture placement against the input.
  • Check material scale, reflection behavior and shadow direction for a coherent visual study.

What the image cannot establish

  • Geometry preservation is a prompt priority, not a lock. Ambiguous or overlapping lines may be interpreted incorrectly.
  • The output is a flat concept image, not CAD, a measured drawing, an editable 3D scene or a lighting simulation.

Questions about this workflow

Can I upload a SketchUp or CAD file?

Export the view as an image first. The upload accepts images; it does not import native model geometry or drawing layers.

Does a clay model need textures already?

No. Use a view with readable volumes and openings, then name the intended materials. Missing details may be invented, so review them.

Can a material reference replace the source?

No. Keep the drawing as the first source image. References guide appearance and should not be used to replace its layout or viewpoint.

Is this the right tool for a dimensioned floor plan?

Use a floor-plan tool for a plan-based concept. This workflow is most useful when a perspective sketch or model view already describes the scene.

What if my source is a top-down floor plan rather than a perspective sketch?

Use AI Floor Plan Render to add color and materials while keeping a top-down presentation. Floor Plan to 3D explores a cutaway bird’s-eye image; Floor Plan to Interior Design explores a room-level perspective. Sketch to Render is for a source view that already establishes the desired composition.
