Yes. You can use your SketchUp model with Rendair, and you do not need a plugin.

Option 1: use an image of your view (fastest)

  1. In SketchUp, set the scene or view you want to render.
  2. Export the view as a JPG or PNG.
  3. In Rendair, open Image to Render and upload the image.
  4. Describe the materials, light and setting you want, then generate.

Option 2: use a 3D file

Export your model as an OBJ or STL file (up to 100 MB) and upload it to 3D Model to Render. GLB and GLTF files also work.

Tips

  • A simple massing model is enough. You do not need textures.
  • Rendair keeps your design and adds realistic materials, lighting and context from your prompt.
