Compare this sketch with its concept render.

Hand-Sketch to Render is built to follow your drawing while adding materials and light. This page's example includes a prepared linework overlay for comparison. Results can vary; compare your own renders with the source drawing.

Keynotes

  1. Built to keep

    Layout, openings, proportions, main placements and the camera view. Here: the clerestory, beams, sliding wall and island.

  2. Built to add

    Materials, lighting, furniture and decor in the style you pick. Here: oak joinery, a marble island and brass pendants.

  3. Always check

    Results vary, so compare every render with your drawing before client use. Use your drawings, not AI images, for permits and construction.

Render your first sketch

Upload your sketch, then compare the render with your drawing.

03Inputs

Five inputs, one spec sheet.

Start from the drawing you already have. Each input runs its own workflow, so you know what to export, what you'll pick and what it costs before you upload.

    After: Photoreal render of the same living room from the same camera: a cream sofa, a round travertine coffee table, oak shelving and daylight through the glass wall.
    Before: Pencil perspective sketch of a living room with a full-height glass wall onto a garden, a three-seat sofa, a round coffee table, built-in shelving and a drum pendant.

  • Example input: 2D plan drawing

    After: Top-down photoreal render of the same apartment with oak floors, a corner sofa, a dining table for six, a made bed and a tiled bathroom.
    Before: Clean 2D floor plan of a one-bedroom apartment with an open living, dining and kitchen space, a bedroom and a bathroom.

04Iterate

Develop the scheme on the same camera.

Once a render exists, run swaps and presets on it instead of rebuilding a scene. Swaps take a reference image; presets step through set options. Each scheme below changes a whole palette, and the table says exactly what moved.

Scheme A: the atrium with limewashed walls, a pale oak floor and stair, a long oatmeal sofa and two walnut lounge chairs.

Where it sits in your render pipeline.

AI rendering turns a drawing into a photoreal concept without a scene setup. Real-time and offline renderers stay exact to the 3D model, so they still own the final stills.

Use it before V-Ray, not instead of it.

06Scope

Built for interiors. Not for facades, massing or construction documents.

Room types you can pick

  • Entryway
  • Living Room
  • Bedroom
  • Dining Room
  • Kitchen
  • Bathroom
  • Home Office
  • Kids Room
  • Nursery
  • Outdoor Room
  • Commercial Space

Renders are visual concepts for review, not measured drawings. For facades, landscapes and site context, use an exterior tool or your real-time renderer.

07Studios

One workspace for the practice.

  • Shared projects

    Sketches, renders and schemes stay together by project, for the whole team on Studio and Agency.

  • Shared credits

    On Studio and Agency, one organization account and one credit balance for the practice.

  • Coming soon

    REST API and webhooks

    Soon you can run the same workflows from your own tools. Webhooks will report when a run succeeds, fails or is cancelled.

  • Nothing to install

    It runs in the browser, so there is no plugin to install or keep updated.

09FAQ

Questions architects ask first.

Fidelity, file formats, plugins, cost and scope, answered plainly.

It can, because AI results vary. The Hand-Sketch, SketchUp and Floor Plan to Render workflows are built to keep layout, openings, proportions and placements, then add materials, lighting and decor. Compare every render with your drawing before client use, and rely on your drawings, not AI images, for permits and construction.
