Controlled architectural rendering

Turn drawings into renders.
Then direct what changes.

Create a photorealistic concept visual from a sketch, floor plan or elevation. Annotate the exact area, describe the revision or guide it with a reference image while the rest stays in view.

Start where your work starts

Three ways in. One clear outcome.

Use the drawing already in front of you. VividPlan turns early linework into something clients, buyers and project teams can understand at a glance.

01 · Sketch to render

Give an early idea enough presence to discuss.

Upload a JPG, PNG or PDF. VividPlan interprets the form, materials and setting so a rough drawing can become a compelling first visual — without building a 3D model.

02 · Floor plan visualisation

Turn a layout into something people can picture living in.

Create a furnished view, then use auto-detect to find matching floor areas and try a new finish across the plan. It is a faster route from dimensions to a useful design conversation.

03 · Elevation to render

See the same design in a different light — and place.

Move beyond the flat facade. Explore materials, daylight, golden hour and night, or place the design in a setting that gives the presentation the right mood.

Control the result

The first visual is a starting point.

A useful visual should keep up with the conversation. Direct precise changes and build on the result you already have.

01 · Annotations

Mark the exact area you want to change.

Draw over the visual and add a plain-language instruction. Keep the rest of the image intact while you direct attention to one part.Explore selected-area control

02 · Reference images

Show the material or feature you have in mind.

Attach a reference to a selected area to guide its shape, colour or finish. Visual direction makes a specific change easier to communicate.See reference-guided replacement

03 · Iterate

Keep refining instead of starting again.

Remove an element, recolour a surface or try another finish. Each revision gives the next design conversation something concrete to respond to.See the elevation workflow
