SketchUp AI Render integrates generative AI into the SketchUp you know and love to help accelerate the creation of compelling visuals whenever you need them. Whether you are suffering from a block in your creative process, need some extra visuals to help support the narrative you’ve established in your project, or just want to fully express your unique creative vision, AI Render can help.
AI Render lets you combine an active model’s viewport with a text prompt or preset style to create a new, AI-generated image. With the options available in AI Render you can:
- Generate quick photorealistic images.
- Define the visual style of your AI-generated images.
- Control how much, or how little, your text prompt influences the output.
- Mask over certain areas of your generated image to erase, add, or sketch elements.
- Use a reference image to define the stylistic output of your generated image.
- Overlay the AI-generated output on top of your SketchUp model, creating a scene you can refer back to later.
- Save the AI-generated output for use outside of SketchUp.
