Sketch to render, with your geometry intact
Sketch → Render takes a hand drawing, a CAD line export or a flat 3D viewport capture and turns it into a photorealistic render. The lines you drew become real walls, real glass and real materials — while the perspective, proportions and composition stay exactly as you drew them.
This is the tool most architects reach for first. A concept sketch that would have taken a day to model and render becomes a presentable visual in under a minute, which means you can walk into a client meeting with four options instead of one.
How it works
- 1
Upload your sketch
Pen on paper, iPad sketch, AutoCAD or Rhino line export, SketchUp viewport — all supported. Photograph the paper if you need to.
- 2
Describe the material world
Say what it is made of: "exposed concrete, oak floors, floor-to-ceiling glass, overcast light". The clearer the prompt, the closer the result.
- 3
Render and refine
Photoreal results in seconds. Iterate on the prompt, or send the winner through Enhance for a 4K print-ready file.
Who it's for
- —Concept sketches turned into client-ready visuals same day
- —Competition entries with fast option-testing
- —Design studio reviews where five schemes need rendering, not one
- —Students who need portfolio images without weeks of 3D work
Frequently asked
Does it follow my sketch exactly?+
Yes — that is the core of it. The line work anchors the geometry and perspective. Archome adds materials, lighting and realism on top of your drawing rather than inventing a new building.
Will a rough pencil sketch work?+
Yes. Clear, confident lines give the strongest results, but even loose sketches work well. If the sketch is very light, photograph it in good light or increase the contrast first.
Can I use CAD or Rhino exports?+
Yes. Line exports from AutoCAD, Rhino, Revit and ArchiCAD all work, as do plain SketchUp viewport screenshots. There are also free SketchUp and 3ds Max plugins to render directly from the viewport.
How much does one render cost?+
Renders start at a few credits each, and every account gets 100 free credits per month. In practice a single approved client render usually pays for a whole plan.
