Rendair Boards review: AI rendering after a year by Archi Vlogs

Archi Vlogs reviewed Rendair a year ago and kept using it, generating thousands of renders since. In this video he comes back to test the newer version, built around architecture and interior design workflows. He works live on his own Revit images and a friend's house project, and puts most of the attention on Boards, the shared canvas where the rest of the tools now live.

What you'll see

1. A tour of the new home screen, the Explore page of community images for reference, Chat with a choice of image models, and the apps list with Text to Render, Sketch to Render, 3D Model to Render and Image to Render.
2. Boards: an infinite canvas where he lays out plans and the interior views generated from them. He uses draw and highlight tools, arrows linking a plan to its views, and comments asking a teammate for edits by a set date.
3. Sharing a board with his team, clients or viewers, so others can look, comment and try things.
4. Elevation to Render started from a node on an exploded axonometric of his Revit model. He picks a realistic style, chooses a model and adds a negative prompt. The result stays linked to its source on the board.
5. Edit Canvas opened from that result to refine it with a prompt while he keeps working elsewhere on the board.
6. Elevation to Render on a section with a short prompt asking it not to change the geometry. It adds interior lighting and keeps the furniture, stair and structure.
7. Grouping elements on the board and following comment threads.
8. Floor Plan to Render on a simple plan, with a before-and-after comparison.

Takeaways

• He values consistency most. In his tests the renders kept columns, offsets, door sizes, walls and plants from the input.
• He estimates the elevation result would have taken him at least an hour to model, render and edit by hand.
• The section render was not perfect. It invented a bedroom that wasn't in the model, which he says can be edited afterward.
• For him, Boards are the biggest change. Generation, editing, comments and team review now happen on one screen, a bit like an online whiteboard.
• His view is that AI is now part of everyday architecture and interior design work, and it's worth trying it on your own projects to judge for yourself.

Try it yourself

Start a Board, drop in elevations, sections or plans from your model, and run Elevation to Render or Floor Plan to Render from there. Use Edit Canvas and comments to review the results with your team.
