Pointed in this direction for those wanting the idiot box to perform renders.
Seems like the others tbh and priced for the pro market but salt is always available for those who need it..png)

Thanks for sharing @Mike-Amos - It's a brave new world.
I wonder how many users are ditching rendering solutions and are going for AI rendering. The results they show are great; I only wonder if it can consistently produce such good results.
-
The truth is, giving up artistic and creative instincts is a negative sum. We will be worse off for it. I have not tried the service I referenced but it is suggested that it respects geometry and texture of the model being rendered, no evidence of that so I cannot say.
I am reminded of the HG Wells book, The time machine. A future world where subterranean monsters hunt and devour surface dwelling simpletons. Fugly evil subterranean types and beautiful but stupid surface dwellers more like sheep after a lobotomy.
If ai can be limited to assisting with lighting suggestions and denoising maybe. As a learning tool, that too but otherwise, no thanks Whoda thunk it, a Trekkie Troglodite........

AI rendering has its uses for ideation.
It reminds when rendering went mainstream. Every 2 months there was new engine.
I think there's still more to come with this but its still very flaky and low res.

This tech is AI and constantly learning. As far as "consistency" we are just scratching the surface. Ai is in a learning phase what it will produce images of stunning quality. Pointless for me to hope that Ai design and rendering would disappear, but it wont. It will just get better and better and I do not think the "improvements in AI will not be linear

Hey I'm Kacper, Co-Founder of MyArchitectAI, happy to answer any questions about our tool.
@Mike-Amos "idiot box for renders" is a pretty accurate description of what we're aiming for in terms of ease of use. In many cases, you'll get a really good result just by uploading your SketchUp export and pressing 'generate." Then, you can apply any changes like test new materials, add and remove objects, change atmospheres etc.
We're not trying to replace physically-based renderers, as the level of precision of AI image models is still not there (at least for now). We do have plenty of studios that are using MyArchitectAI together with Enscape/TM/Lumion, and I'd say this is the most efficient tool stack right now.
Anyway, if you need to know anything else about our, or other AI tools, just let me know.

@kacper7 G'[day Kacper, good to see you here, I come from a rather laboured history with computing starting with a ZX80 and the Atari STFM (Still have but the mouse is long gone during a move and no idea how to actually attach it to a screen). Lots under that bridge.
I actually got a scholarship to Chelsea college of art but they cancelled all scholarships just before the course started and I joined the army instead.
So, my opinion is based on old school and the idea of taking decisions away from me makes me wonder where there is room for anything BUT these ai products.
Render the way I am used to is a very personal process, yes some assistance would be good but not taking over completely. I actuall LIKE to be able to select textures and light levels, a lot of my renders are on the dark and moody side which architectural types dislike because is is not how they do renders.
I know, if I make a house and render it, the subject is architectural, think more the renders you might see in gaming or art station etc.
Main point from this? I am and will remain an individual rather than a drone doing things a set way because I have to be in the Matrix.
Do I/would I, ignore suggestions? No but a methos of choosing mats/textures etc would imho, be the way to go. I have tried the Sketchup thing and find it irritates the heck out of me, even while I admit it is leaps ahead of the first version I tried, it just decides FOR me.
No thanks.
Your product is definitely worth a longer look/test but not really my cup of Darjeeling thanks mate.
I wish you all, the very best for your project, being a Trekkie I cannot do less.
Stay well out there, you and yours.

All of this! ^^^^^

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,

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.
