Creating Day and Night Scenes
Use Change Time of Day on an existing render and choose morning, afternoon, evening or night. Rendair changes the light, the sky, the shadows and the glow from windows, while your design stays the same. Run it once for each time to show a project from day to night, and combine it with Change Weather for more mood.

Showing a project in daylight and at night is one of the strongest ways to present a design, and you do not need to build a new scene for each. Start from one render and change the time of day.
Use Change Time of Day
- Open Change time of day.
- Upload a render, or choose one from your Assets.
- Choose Morning, Afternoon, Evening or Night.
- Generate.
Rendair changes the light and sky and the shadows, and your design stays as it was.
What changes at each time
Time | The look |
|---|---|
Morning | Soft, cool light and long, gentle shadows |
Afternoon | Clear, bright light and short, defined shadows |
Evening | Warm, low light and a colorful sky |
Night | A dark sky and glowing windows and lights |
Get a great night scene
A night image works best when the light comes from inside and around the building. In your description, mention warm light from the windows, lit entrances or garden lights. Ask for the atmosphere you want, such as "warm interior glow, deep blue sky".
Show a full day
Run the tool once for each time on the same render. Place the results on a board and look at them together, or share the board with your client.
Combine with weather and season
Use Change weather and Change season on top for even more mood, for example a foggy morning or a snowy evening.
Create a night scene from the start
You can also start with your description. Add "at night" or "at dusk" to your prompt in a create tool to make a night render directly.
Keep the design the same
These tools keep your design and change the light. Compare the result with the original to check it, and try again if something else changed.
