Create your first render in 60 seconds
Go from a simple sketch to a polished, upscaled render in a few steps: generate, refine the prompt, then adjust materials, people and lighting.
Melisa RüzgarTutorial VideosYou do not need a finished model to get a strong first image in Rendair. This guide takes a simple sketch and turns it into a polished visualization in about a minute, using a few apps one after another.
Steps
- Upload your sketch. Start with a sketch of your design and upload it into Rendair.
- Write a simple prompt. Describe how you want the sketch to come to life, such as the building type, materials and setting, then click Generate.
- Refine the prompt. If the first result is good but not quite right, tweak the prompt and generate again until you have a strong starting point.
- Swap the exterior material. Use Change Material to try a different facade finish while keeping the design the same.
- Add people. Use Populate Render to bring the scene to life and give it a sense of scale.
- Change the lighting. Use Change Time of Day to turn a daytime scene into a sunset, so the image captures the feeling of the project.
- Upscale the final image. When you are happy with the result, upscale it for a sharper, high-resolution version.
Tips
- Keep your first prompt simple. It is quicker to refine a good base than to describe everything up front.
- Small prompt changes can make a big difference, so adjust one thing at a time.
- Each edit builds on the previous result, so your design stays consistent as you refine it.
- Upscale only once you have chosen the version you want to keep.
