      , giving up artistic and creative instincts is a negative sum

        I totally respect your approach, Mike.

        We're not targeting people like you for MyArchitectAI. Rather those who feel like rendering is an extra burden they can't afford to spend their time (or money) on.

        So it’s kinda like iPhone vs DSLR, both have their place, just for different types of users.

          Horses for course etc, agreed. Thought for the day, can ai be used as an educational tool to TEACH rendering? Assess the product folk are getting and SUGGEST method of improvement. Manual renders, like DSLR, have options up the yazoo and even making CAD/Sketchup models can confront the novice with lots of confusing palettes which can be visually disturbing. Perhaps ai can be a real tool for change and ALLOW the user to be more creative while retaining independence?

            Just one other thought for today, I take it these renders are used to suggest schemes for potential users of a refurbishment or building company. In this case the clientelle will want to choose materials etc so how deep do these options run with your system?

            Saying to a customer that "It will look like this but different, seems like a retrograde step. Just a thought.

              The workflow itself is a lot different than in physically-based renderers and a lot simplified, so I'm not sure if it can be used to teach rendering. Text-to-image generators are already used by many studios for concept generation, but that's a bit of a different category of software.

              Re: material control, you can upload your own material swatch and apply it to the render, so you have full control over the output. Here's a quick demo of the editing tool: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZPLuowA-Cc&list=PLNRL2qttoqxDrZ3AJvz6wD2FbBLO3RLnI&index=5

                Hey @kacper7

                I'm the creator of Rayscaper, a render program: https://rayscaper.com/ - How easy is it with your software to inpaint things or edit the render without actually changing the mood of the render? I see people here on the forum using Rayscaper render and then using ComfyUI to add people or vegetation. I'm not well-versed in AI models per se, but I see you offer API integration. So I wonder if I could use that to sprinkle some AI features on top of my own software.

                See for example this post: https://community.sketchucation.com/post/1616622

                Cheers,
                Thomas

                  Good to meet you @pixelcruncher

                  If you have a look at the video I linked to in my previous comment, it's very easy. You just describe it with words, and it doesn't affect the rest of the render.

                  ComfyUI is a tool that helps you work with AI models, so you'd need to train a model (e.g. Qwen or Seedream) to do these kinds of operations for you precisely.

                  Yes, we do have an API (you can test it here https://rapidapi.com/myarchitectai-team-myarchitectai-team-default/api/architecture-rendering-api) but we didn't include the editing tools in it yet as they're still in beta.

                      @kenancakir I recommend using a lower creativity value then. The default is set to 40% but it might be too strong in some cases.
