Overview
CAD Scene is a rendering workbench designed for professional architects and architecture studios. It enables users to transform basic 3D scenes into sophisticated, photorealistic renders fast and at a low cost.
The tool offers three core functionalities: 'Create', 'Enhance', and 'Edit'. 'Create' helps to build a scene directly from a prompt, offering presentation-ready images swiftly.
'Enhance' allows users to iterate without having to wait for the rendering process. It allows dropping a 3D screenshot and maintaining the same camera angle for quick modifications.
'Edit' enables users to perfect specific details without altering the whole frame by brushing a region and defining the changes. CAD Scene allows rendering from various images imported from popular architectural design software like Rhino, SketchUp, Blender, Revit, and more.
It offers an extensive palette of preset visual styles for rendering that can be customized and re-used across projects. The tool also has capabilities for timeline Render, variations exploration, regional edits, and parallel generation of multiple renders, providing users with various options for their projects.
CAD Scene also features quality and size controls for every render and the ability to run renders in the background even if the tab is closed. Users can organize their design work into projects and studies for easier management.
