About RENDERCAD
RENDERCAD is an AI-powered rendering tool that quickly turns CAD screenshots, real-life photos and hand-drawn sketches into photorealistic images or videos. It eliminates the need for model uploads, complicated set-ups and plugins. It works with a wide range of tools, including SolidWorks, Revit, SketchUp and much more. With its generative AI engine, RENDERCAD always keeps up to date and maintains the design intent meticulously. To make it user-friendly, it provides a visual selection of over 2600 materials, background environments and eliminating the need for manual lighting setups. Users can also add, change, or remove referenced objects with just the stroke of a brush. The service is cloud-based and doesn't require any installation, reducing the need for high-performing hardware. It also allows for bulk processing, making it ideal for e-commerce sellers and marketing teams who need to render large quantities of images. Moreover, RENDERCAD ensures the safety of users' design data by processing only the image input and not storing the original source files. The RENDERCAD API also lets users streamline their workflow by integrating the tool into their existing systems.
