Choose Input Method: Sketch to Image, Text to Image, Image Upscale, or Image to Video
Select your preferred input mode: 'Sketch to Image' to upload sketches or draw directly online, 'Text to Image' for text prompts, 'Image Upscale' to upload an existing image and enhance it, or 'Image to Video' to create 5 second or 10 second animations based on an existing image.
Upload Your Sketch or Draw Directly Online
Either draw your sketch directly on the online canvas using the drawing tools, or upload an existing image file by clicking 'Choose file'. Ensure your sketch has good contrast, clear lines, details, and a good perspective for best results. You can upload a screenshot of your 3d model or a photo of your drawing.
Select Rendering Method, Style, and Options
Choose your rendering method (Super-Fast, Fast-Definition, or Ultra-Quality), select a style (Interior, Exterior, Object, etc.), and add descriptive keys or custom prompts to guide the AI generation. The best you guide the AI, the better the results will be. For example, if you want to create a high-quality render of a modern house with a green lawn and a blue sky, you can guide the AI generation with a custom description like 'A high-quality render of a modern house with a green lawn and a blue sky.' Be direct and specific. With AI, 'less is more'.
Click on Create Magic to Generate Your AI Render
Click the 'Create Magic' button to start the AI rendering process. The artificial intelligence image model will analyze your input image and settings and generate a high-quality render in seconds.
Iterate a Few Times to Create Variations
It's recommended to iterate a couple of times creating multiple variations of the same image or video until you are happy with the results. Usually, including other tools or re-rendering a specific image is a good practice for achieving perfection.
Download to Save or Share Results
The preview will show you the results of the AI rendering process on the right side of the screen. Once you are happy with the results, you can download it to your device or share it or continue iterating to create more variations, upscale, or create a video based on the results.
Pro Tips for Best Results
Detailed Input
Use clear, high-contrast sketches with enough details for better AI interpretation and more accurate render outputs.
Crop Your Image
Crop your image to focus on your main subject and remove any unnecessary elements before uploading for optimal results.
Guide the AI, but keep it simple
Use fewer, more specific keywords and clear descriptions. Avoid phrases like "render this drawing" or ambiguous instructions.
Experiment with Rendering Methods
Try different rendering methods based on your quality and speed needs. Fast-Definition is a good balance between speed and quality.
Choose Your Rendering Method
