How it works

Your idea, rendered, without the modeling time.

  1. Bring the sketch or model.

    A hand sketch, a SketchUp screenshot or a Revit or ArchiCAD view. No textures or lights needed.

  2. Describe materials and light.

    Timber, render, glass, evening light. Say "keep my design and the viewpoint".

  3. Render, then revise.

    A Pro render takes under a minute. Change the facade or one door with the next message.

Recorded walkthrough

Sketch to render, then two revisions

One pen sketch, three Pro renders, every prompt shown. Watch the 85-second recording or read the same steps below.

  1. Upload

    Start in Studio and drop in the sketch

    Studio starts from an image: a pen drawing, a SketchUp screenshot or a photo. This one is a two-storey house with no textures and no colour.

  2. Main prompt

    Describe the render and keep the geometry

    Materials, light and mood go in the prompt. The last sentence matters most, because it tells Visualizee what not to change. Pro quality was selected for this render.

    Message to Vizzy

    Render this sketch as a photorealistic two-storey house. White render walls, dark window frames, flat roof, late afternoon sun, a few trees. Keep every line of the geometry and the camera angle exactly as drawn.

    The prompt typed into the Studio prompt bar with Pro quality selected
  3. Pro render, 53 s

    Same walls, same windows, now a photo

    Every line of the sketch is where it was drawn. The window layout, the entry canopy and the camera angle are unchanged.

  4. Main prompt

    Big change: type it into the main prompt

    For a change that touches most of the image, nothing needs marking. Describe the new material and list what must stay.

    Message to Vizzy

    Change the facade to dark vertical timber cladding. Keep the windows, the roof, the door and everything else exactly as they are.

  5. Pro render, 59 s

    New skin, nothing else moved

    The cladding changed on every wall. Windows, roof, door, trees and shadows are the same as in the first render.

  6. Marked area

    Small change: mark just the door

    For a detail, select it with the rectangle tool, write the change in the note that appears next to the region, confirm the note, then render.

    Note on the marked area

    Paint the front door a deep oxblood red with a satin finish. Change nothing else.

  7. Pro render, 65 s

    The door, and only the door

    The door is oxblood red with a satin finish. Everything outside the marked rectangle is untouched.

Photorealistic render of an A-frame cabin in a misty pine forest at dawnVisualizee render
Message to Vizzy

Transform this A-frame cabin sketch into a photorealistic render. Dark-stained vertical timber cladding, a large triangular glass facade, a small wooden deck.

Sketch to render questions.

Quick answers about turning sketches and models into photoreal renders with Visualizee.

All questions
What is sketch to render?
Sketch to render is turning a drawing or rough 3D model into a photorealistic image. With Visualizee you upload your sketch, describe the materials and lighting in plain language, and the AI generates a finished render that keeps your original geometry - no manual 3D modeling or lighting setup required.
What kind of input works - hand sketches, SketchUp, Revit?
All of them. Hand-drawn pencil or marker sketches, scanned napkin concepts, SketchUp or Revit viewport screenshots, clay/untextured 3D exports, and photos all work. The clearer the lines and perspective in your input, the more faithful the render.
How accurate is the render to my sketch?
Visualizee's rendering is geometry-aware, so it preserves the massing, proportions, and layout of your input rather than inventing a new design. You control materials, lighting, and style through the prompt, and you can iterate with Vizzy until it matches your intent.
How long does a render take?
In the recorded walkthrough above, each Pro render took 53 to 65 seconds from send to result. Fast quality is quicker, for drafts. Either way, a revision is one prompt, not a new render setup.
Can I render a SketchUp model this way?
Yes. Set Camera > Two-Point Perspective, pick the view, save it as a Scene, then File > Export > 2D Graphic at 2,000 pixels wide or more and upload the image. Name what must stay (walls, windows, furniture, camera) before the materials and light. In our SketchUp test the first render took 27 seconds; the SketchUp rendering guide on the blog has every prompt.
How do I change one thing after the first render?
Work on the render the client approved, not on the model, and name only what changes: the facade material in the main prompt, or a single element like the front door through a marked region. Everything you do not name stays as it was, which is why the walkthrough above changed the door and nothing else.
Is it free?
Yes, to start. Sign in with Google, Apple or email and get 5 free renders, or 4 if you use your one Pro render, no credit card. Free renders are watermarked and for personal use; any paid plan removes the watermark and adds a commercial license.
Can I use the renders for client presentations?
Yes - on a paid plan. On the free plan, downloads are watermarked and licensed for personal use only; once you are on a paid subscription you can use renders for client work, listings, and commercial delivery.
