Turn sketches, 3D model views, photos and floor plans into rich architectural concepts, then refine and present your results. RENDER YOUR DESIGN Sketch / Design to Render, Render Interior and Render Exterior turn a basic source into a finished visualization. Explore architectural materials, thoughtful furnishing, landscaping and layered light. Faithful controls instruct the AI to retain the design and viewpoint. SIGNATURE RENDERS Luxury Render explores premium finishes, fine craftsmanship and a refined architectural atmosphere. Cinematic Render explores directional lighting, rich materials and dramatic but readable contrast. PRESENTATION STUDIO Physical Model imagines your architecture as a crafted study model, with treatments including museum card, acrylic, metal, resin, plaster and timber. Material Story builds a tactile visual palette from finishes visible in your project. Presentation Board composes your original project images locally, without generation credits. Add a source and optional supporting view, choose a gallery treatment, colour accents and composition, and add a clearly typeset title and caption. Your supplied images remain intact. TRANSFORM AND REFINE Furnish Empty Room, Redesign Facade and Garden & Landscape explore changes to your space. Change Materials, Restyle My Render, Change Lighting and Presentation Styles help refine a result. Illustration treatments include watercolor, pencil, marker and collage. Edit a selected render with instructions and optional brush guidance. Precise edit boundaries may vary. Add an optional visual reference for supported rendering tools; the source remains the subject. PLANS AND PRESENTING Sketch to Plan produces drafted-looking linework. Color & Furnish Plan adds finishes to a plan. Render from Plan infers an interior view from a viewpoint you place. Generate one render or three separately generated design options. Total credits are shown before starting. Compare results and export a local presentation board as an image or PDF. Save projects and continue with their source images and settings. Browse 45 illustrated inspiration pages and begin with a selected style, space, lighting mood or material palette. CREDITS OR YOUR OWN KEY Monthly includes 30 credits per month; Pro includes 100. One-time packs of 15 or 50 credits do not expire. Standard uses 1 credit per generated image; High uses 3. Three options use three times the per-image credits. No OpenAI account is needed when using credits. Alternatively, use your own OpenAI API key, stored in the device Keychain. Generations are billed to your OpenAI account. The Ideas library and local exports need no generation credits. SUBSCRIPTIONS Monthly and Pro renew automatically until cancelled. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation and renewal unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage subscriptions in App Store account settings. Monthly credits reset at renewal and do not roll over. AI CONCEPT VISUALIZATIONS AI can change details and proportions despite preservation instructions. Check results against project drawings. Plans are raster images, not CAD; dimensions and inferred views are approximate. Model, material and board studies are conceptual. Projects stay on your device. Selected images and descriptions are sent to OpenAI after consent. The credits server temporarily retains completed results for recovery. Optional Sign in with Apple recovers your credit account.
