For architects and designers, a good render can mean the difference between winning or losing a client.
However, rendering typically requires a lot of time, effort, expertise and money.
Tools like Visoid look to disrupt the status quo.
It’s free, every week, in your inbox.
You take a screenshot of your 3D design and import it into Visoids web-based app.
it’s possible for you to also set more detailed requirements like the desired lighting or background elements.
Once youre ready, click Render.
Then the AI, trained on images of real buildings and homes, will generate your visualisation.
If youre happy with the result, you then download it in up to 4K resolution.
All of this speeds up the 3D rendering time by up to 90%, Visoid claims.
Thestartupalso promises to slash costs.A typical architectural3D render costsanywhere from 90 to 9,000 per image.
In contrast, Visoids Premium software package is available for just 55 a month.
The founders of US-based construction outfit PANL, one of Visoids clients, described the impact as game-changing.
It allows us to create lots of beautiful content for a fraction of the price, they said.
AI accelerates into architecture
PANL is far from alone in applying artificial intelligence to architecture.
However, Visoid is confident that its tool offers something unique.
The startups progress caught the attention of VC firm Antler, which participated in the new seedfundinground.
