In this tutorial, we'll guide you through the process of creating life-like renders using the AI Render feature on Snaptrude.
Creating AI Render
Step 1: Start by selecting your 3D view. You can choose from saved 3D views or adjust and pan the active 3D view.
Step 2: Under the Views panel, find the Renders section and click on the option to create a new render. A new Render tab will open.
Step 3: In the new render tab, the model view you set will be visible in this window.
Step 4: Adjust the render settings for your chosen view.
a) Realistic & Artistic: Select either a Realistic or Artistic render style.
b) Creative & Accurate Slider: Adjust the slider to set your rendering preference. You can select Creative for a more AI-focused render or Accurate for a result that closely matches the original model.
c) Render Background: Toggle this button if you wish to have a background rendered
d) Model type: Choose from external or internal view of the model
e) Time: Select the time, from day, night & sunset, for the render.
f) Weather (optional): You're also free to choose the weather, from summer, winter, autumn & spring.
Step 5: Render Prompt: Provide a prompt for your render, or click on the 'Suggest' option. The 'Suggest' option takes into account the model view you've set and offers a prompt suggestion for the same.
Step 6: Once you're satisfied with the render settings and the prompt, start the rendering process.
Step 7: To save the generated render, click on the 'Save Views' option. You can also export the rendered image if needed. Remember to save if you like the render, or you might lose it when you close the tab.
Step 8: If you want to make changes to the generated render, click on the preferences and adjust your settings. If you want to render a different view, change or adjust the 3D view and open the Render tab again. Then follow the same steps to generate a new render.
Step 9: View saved render in the 'History' section
Managing and Accessing Saved Renders
Step 1: All saved renders can be found in the Views panel under 'Renders'. You can rename or delete a saved render from the three dots next to the respective render.
Step 2: To view a saved render, simply click on it. Export the saved render by clicking on the 'Export' button in the render tab.
Pro-tip:
1. BIM Model Renders
Generate renders for a BIM model following the same steps as mentioned above. Renders generated using a BIM model are more accurate, as the materials applied are taken directly into consideration while rendering.
2. Import models from Revit, Rhino, or other 3D formats and create renders here! Visit Import Drawing/Model to know how to import these models to Snaptrude.
