What is ArchVizr?
ArchVizr is a browser-based AI rendering tool for architects and designers. Upload a SketchUp, Revit, or CAD export, or even a hand sketch, name the materials and time of day, and get a photoreal image in about 20 seconds. Your geometry, windows, and camera stay exactly where you drew them.
Top Features:
- Sketch rendering: turn hand sketches, hidden-line exports, or massing screenshots into photoreal images.
- Relighting: show one building at golden hour, overcast, blue hour, or night.
- Style transfer: copy a material palette from a reference photo onto every frame.
Use Cases:
- Client decks: produce a matching set of frames overnight for a morning meeting.
- Materials: compare brick, cedar, corten, and concrete facades before ordering samples.
- Pre-sales: turn massing models into brochure images before the facade is final.
Who Can Use ArchVizr?
- Small practices: get presentation renders without paying a visualisation studio each time.

- Students: turn studio sketches into photoreal competition boards before a review.

Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Geometry kept: windows, massing, and camera angle are kept exactly as drawn.
- No install: runs in the browser with no plugin or CAD licence needed.
- Yearly savings: annual billing halves the price, and credit packs suit one-off deadlines.
Cons:
- Small free tier: four free renders are enough to test, not for real projects.
- Personal use: the free plan does not allow commercial use of renders.
- Final polish: fine lighting and colour grading may still need Photoshop afterwards.
