01

Why exterior rendering matters

Homeowners

A facade renovation is a five-figure bet on a color chart.

Developers

Buyers can't read plans; they buy what they can see.

Architects

Clients approve faster with material options on their actual building.

02

How it works

From upload to download β€” most renders finish in about a minute.

  1. Upload

    A straight-on or slight-angle photo of the exterior.

  2. Analyze

    Roof planes, walls, and openings are mapped.

  3. Choose

    Pick materials: board-and-batten, brick, stucco, standing seam.

  4. Render

    The facade updates with real shadows kept.

  5. Refine

    Try trim colors, window frames, lighting one at a time.

  6. Download

    Export options for quotes and approvals.

Prompt guide

Do this

  • Change one system at a time: siding, then trim, then lighting.
  • Name materials, not just colors: "horizontal cedar-look cladding".
  • Shoot from the street at the elevation you're changing.

Avoid this

  • Moving doors and windows β€” openings stay put.
  • Mixing three material styles in one render.
  • Night shots for material decisions.

β€œRe-clad the front facade in vertical board-and-batten, warm white, with cedar accents; keep the roof and windows.”

β€œPreview the brick painted in a soft limewash.”

β€œShow the same elevation with standing-seam metal in dark gray.”

Built for your role

Homeowners

  • See the renovation before the scaffold goes up
  • Compare two material directions honestly
  • Brief contractors with a shared image

Developers

  • Sell from renders at acquisition stage
  • Test palettes per market
  • Marketing images without a mockup unit

Architects

  • Material studies in minutes
  • Client approvals in the first meeting
  • Photo-real context, not abstract massing

05

Under the hood

  • Plane detection keeps rooflines, eaves, and window positions fixed.
  • Materials render with texture and weathering, not flat tints.
  • Existing shadows are preserved across material changes.
  • Multi-unit and small commercial buildings render with the same engine.

FAQ

Can it change window positions?

No β€” openings stay where they are; materials, colors, and lighting change.

Does it work on multi-story buildings?

Yes β€” townhomes and small apartment buildings render fine.

Can I test several materials?

Yes β€” run each as its own generation and compare side by side.

Is this a construction document?

No β€” visualization only. Specs and engineering are for your design professional.

Does lighting change?

Only decorative lighting if you ask; structural light stays true.

What photos work best?

Street-level, straight-on, daylight, no parked cars in front.

Ready to see your room transformed?
