3D Architecture Render to Visualization

The 3D Architecture Render to Visualization workflow is designed to take a basic 3D render and enhance it into a high-quality, photorealistic architectural visualization. 

This workflow is particularly useful for architects, designers, and visualization professionals who want to create compelling imagery without extensive manual post-processing.

How To Use

  1. Upload Your 3D Render – Start by providing a depth-based 3D render. This image serves as the structural guide for the visualization process.
  2. Select a Model – Choose an SDXL-based model for generating the photorealistic rendering. The model influences the style and fidelity of the final output.
  3. Enter a Prompt – Provide a textual description of the desired look and feel, specifying textures, lighting, and materials.
  4. Generate & Refine – The system processes the input render, extracts depth information, and enhances it using AI-driven image synthesis.
  5. Save & Export – Once satisfied with the generated visualization, you can save it to a board for further refinement or export it for use in presentations or client deliverables.

How It Works

  1. Depth Extraction & Preprocessing – The uploaded 3D render undergoes depth estimation to create a structural reference for the AI model.
  2. Edge & Structure Refinement – The workflow applies canny edge detection and ControlNet guidance to preserve architectural details.
  3. Model Conditioning – The SDXL model is loaded and conditioned with both positive and negative prompts, influencing the aesthetic and ensuring photorealistic results.
  4. Noise & Latent Processing – A denoising process refines the structure, removing unwanted artifacts while enhancing depth perception.
  5. Image Blending & Enhancement – The AI blends structural data with texture and material suggestions from the prompt, ensuring realism and coherence.
  6. Final Output Generation – The model produces a high-resolution, photorealistic architectural visualization, which can be reviewed, saved, or further edited.

"Moving towards creation of assets that will actually be placed in game is more demanding. However, a number of companies like Invoke… are focusing on developing effective specialized tools for game artists for both concept art and production assets."
