Use AI design tools to turn a studio sketch into a pin-up still
Crit is close and the CAD model is not ready. Turn the sketch or brief you already have into a pin-up still, then keep drafting in the software your course requires.
See the drawing as a board image
Works with interior, exterior, massing, and furniture sketches
See the drawing as a board image
Upload your sketch as a PNG or JPEG to Sketch to Render. Choose photoreal, architectural rendering, watercolor, marker, clay model, or cinematic lighting, then add material or lighting notes if needed. The result is a rendered image from the drawing you already have. Compare its openings, silhouette, and furniture positions with your sketch before using it on a board.
- Works with interior, exterior, massing, and furniture sketches
- Choose a rendering treatment and add material notes
- Useful for pin-ups and process books; not a studio 3D pipeline
Turn a 2D plan into a 3D-looking still for crit
Already have a floor plan? Upload its image to AI Floor Plan to 3D, choose a camera view and render style, and adjust palette, lighting, or detail if needed. Use the output to discuss a spatial interpretation. Heights and details that are absent from the plan are inferred, so the image cannot validate scale or replace a model.
- Start from a CAD export or an AI-generated floor plan image
- Generate perspective stills for reviews and process books
- Document the final project in the software your course requires
Get a 2D concept from the written studio brief
If you have requirements but no plan yet, use AI Floor Plan Generator. Select building type, floor count, total area, and room counts, then describe relationships such as an open kitchen or separated bedrooms. This is a zoning study from a written brief, not a site plan with setbacks or topography. Compare the diagram with the assignment, then develop the selected layout in CAD.
- Specify area and room requirements before generating
- Use the notes for room adjacencies and circulation intentions
- Check the diagram against your brief before continuing the design
How this helps
What to pin up before the model is ready
A still from the laptop you already have
The tools run in the browser. You can generate a sketch or plan variation without a lab workstation or a local render queue.
A comparison tied to your design question
For example, ask whether a pale wall finish or exposed brick better supports your reading-room concept. Generate both from the same sketch, place them beside the source, and annotate your choice and any unintended geometry changes. Your process book should explain the design question and your conclusion, not only display the images.
A visible record of your contribution
Keep your brief, sketches, and plan studies alongside generated images. Label the AI-assisted stage and check your course or portfolio submission rules before including it.
How it works
From the assignment artifact to a board still
- 1Step 01
Start with what you already drew
Choose Sketch to Render for a drawing, AI Floor Plan to 3D for a plan image, or AI Floor Plan Generator for a written program with area and room requirements.
- 2Step 02
Generate one still, then another
Compare directions. Tighten the prompt note or rendering style rather than treating the first image as the board.
- 3Step 03
Place it on the board with context
Export the still and label it as an early concept. Keep CAD drafting, physical models, and written analysis in the format your tutors expect.
