Turn SketchUp and Rhino Models into Renders Instantly
Upload a basic 3D massing from SketchUp or Rhino and click Generate — photorealistic output, no lighting rigs, no render farm, no materials setup. Here's how it works.
Upload a basic 3D massing and click Generate. That's the whole workflow. Style2AI now turns SketchUp and Rhino models into photorealistic renders without lighting setups, material libraries, or render farms — and the building that comes back is the building you modeled.
What you skip
Traditional rendering means exporting to V-Ray, Lumion, or Enscape, then spending the afternoon on HDRIs, sun studies, material mapping, and render queues. For a polished final image, that pipeline earns its keep. For design-phase iteration — "what does this massing feel like in brick, at dusk?" — it's overkill.
The workflow
- Export your model the way you already do: OBJ, FBX, or GLB from SketchUp, Rhino, or any modeler that can save those formats. A gray massing is enough — no materials needed.
- Upload it to Style2AI and frame the view you want.
- Describe the look in plain words: "white render facade, timber screens, overcast morning."
- Click Generate. Photorealistic output, with your geometry intact — same bays, same openings, same proportions.
Change the material and generate again. Change the season and generate again. Every variation is still your building, because the model is treated as fixed and only the look iterates. (Why that matters — and where other AI tools get it wrong: our comparison with Magnific and PromeAI.)
After the render
The image isn't the end of the line. The same project can produce furniture and material schedules, elevation exports, and presentation boards — the working set around the render, not just the render.
Try it with a massing you already have
Most users' first test is a model that's been sitting in a project folder for months. Start free on Style2AI or compare plans — and see sketch-to-render if you start from paper instead of a model.
