Maquete AI
AIVisualizationTurns a model viewport screenshot into a photorealistic render in about a minute
What is Maquete AI?
A browser rendering tool for architects, interior designers, and showroom teams. You upload a PNG, JPG, or TIFF viewport capture from SketchUp, Revit, Rhino, Blender, Archicad, AutoCAD, or Vectorworks, or render the active view directly with the SketchUp plugin, then pick lighting, materials, finishes, and scene context from presets instead of writing prompts. The vendor's stated aim is to keep walls, openings, and proportions where the model put them, and a still render arrives in about a minute at up to 4K. Paid plans add video walkthroughs, project folders with specification schedules, and client briefing forms.

- more than 15 lighting presets such as golden hour, blue hour, sheer curtain, and blinds, plus material naming, replace prompt writing
- output up to 4K on Pro and above, with one free regeneration per render on paid plans
- video walkthroughs with dolly and tracking moves, priced per clip (Veo 3.1 Fast at 1080p costs 4 credits for 4 seconds and 7 credits for 8 seconds)
- projects hold renders, specification and cost schedules, and client briefing forms that collect requirements before rendering
Common use cases
Limitations to know
The vendor's own FAQ says no generative workflow can guarantee the geometry is preserved and tells you to compare each render with the source model before use. The submission says a typical still completes in about 30 seconds while the site says about a minute. The two case studies on the site describe interior visualisation work but give no measured time or cost results. Maquete AI Ltd was registered in England in 2026, so the product and company are new. AEC Hub has not tested the product.
