Choosing an AI Renderer

[JB Sties]

Hello,

I'm curious which third-party AI rendering software other users likes to work with. My goal is to create semi-photo realistic exterior images of my high-end residential models.

Thank you,

JB

Yeah, I think I'm going to be paying for Visiod in the future... It definitely has that "I did this in AI" kind of vibe... but i'm also not a rendering guy, so good enough has always been good enough for me; and this is definitely better than good enough

  Also, soon there’ll be an Arch. visualization & Ray-trace realistic rendering plugin by Maxon -Redshift for Archicad, signing up to the Beta version is available now.

It’s available for Vectorworks software & provides some AI features in addition to those ones inside Vectorworks itself.

Hey PB, thanks for the shout-out.

We've just released V1.0 which now includes the full pipeline of image generation - editing - animating; all directly inside Archicad.

Image generation is using Nano Banana Pro (gemini-3-pro-image-preview)
Video generation is a choice between Kling 3.0 and Seedance 2.0

If anyone wants to give it a try, you can signup for 5 free credits (5 image generations). Addon is available for Windows AC23-29 and Mac AC26-29

All the best!

I tried LineSpire via the 5 credit demo last month. Following the best practices on their website, I created a successful test rendering on the first try. So I subsequently started a subscription for our studio.

We are continuing to explore AI as an enhancement tool for our architectural renderings. The current workflow is using Archicad + LineSpire Reflect + Gemini + Photoshop. By incorporating LineSpire Reflect into the process, the underlying architecture remains unchanged. In combination with precise prompt writing, the approach significantly reduces hallucinations.
