Native ArchiCAD AI Visualization Plugin - Seeking Feedback

[mike_linespire]

Hey everyone,

I've built an AI archviz addon for ArchiCAD that is using the latest Google models. As primarily a building designer, I wanted an addon that streamlined creating the image directly in ArchiCAD and placing it on the coversheet layout for our projects without needing to export/import.

I've played around with these AI models from the start and always been disappointed that whilst they were impressive, they weren't accurate enough to share with clients (missing windows, roofline changes, wrong materials). The latest models from Google are the first time I've felt they are producing client ready images (9 times out of 10!).

I'd love some feedback on the tool so I've setup a free trial that includes 5 image generations (reach out and I can top you up with a couple of extras if you need them). I'm going to get a macOS version going as soon as I can too.

There is a before/after slider on the website where you can see how accurate the AI model is at matching the geometry of the ArchiCAD model

Operating system used: Windows

Now that my curiosity is piqued, I've had a look through the current Enscape & Twinmotion websites. They are both adopting AI within their products. Nothing to see yet for Twinmotion and the Enscape AI generated landscapes look too "Midjourney" for my taste...again, not sure how consistency works across different views/renders for the AI generated input.

Hey PB,

I think D5 are probably doing the most interesting AI tools at the moment. Their latest release can generate 3D assets from reference photos: https://youtu.be/Z3c7lDY98oY?si=A13Hxxgx4nDD0iJO&t=112

I would LOVE to be able to do something like this with Archicad GDL objects and maybe it will be possible in the future.

I know what you mean about the "midjourney" look! Google really raised the bar with Gemini 3 Pro (particularly for archviz) but I'm sure the other models will catch up.

Thanks

Thanks Mike.

Yes, D5 shows the way forward - sadly, Windows only…

I recall when D5 launched, the developers explained that while they were interested in supporting the Mac platform they wouldn't until Apple. hardware was strong enough. I wonder what they think now.
