CAD Scene

What is CAD Scene?

CAD Scene is an AI rendering workbench built by architects for architects and design studios. It turns bare 3D viewport screenshots from SketchUp, Rhino, Revit, Blender, and similar tools into photoreal client images in seconds. You can also start a scene from a text prompt or change one region the client flagged.

Top Features:

• Three modes: create scenes from prompts, render screenshots, or edit marked regions.
• 62 presets: apply looks like Nordic, Bauhaus, or wabi-sabi and save your own.
• Model choice: pick Nano Banana or GPT Image 2.5 for each render.

Use Cases:

• Design reviews: render review images from today's model in a single afternoon.
• Style options: show a client one room in ten different interior styles.
• Client changes: swap the one detail a client flagged while the rest holds still.

Who Can Use CAD Scene?

• Architects: get presentation images without long render setups or specialist software.
• Interior designers: test finishes, materials, and lighting moods across rooms in minutes.
• Students: turn studio models into polished images before a final review.

Pricing

• Free ($0): 100 starting credits that never expire, and no card required.
• Hobby ($12 per month): 250 credits monthly, about 125 renders, with credits rolling over.
• Studio ($35 per month): 1000 credits monthly, about 500 renders, and faster priority support.

Pros and Cons

Pros:

• Free 4K: every render, even on the free plan, includes a 4K upscale.
• Wide support: screenshots from Rhino, SketchUp, Revit, Archicad, and 3ds Max all work.
• Rollover credits: unused paid credits carry forward while your subscription stays active.

Cons:

• Possible drift: results can shift small details, so check them against the source.
• Stills only: output is images, so animations and walkthroughs need another tool.
• Credit math: render costs vary by model, so monthly usage is harder to predict.
