What is the difference between a preset and a prompt?

A preset applies a ready made style in one click. A prompt describes the look in your own words. Use a preset to get moving fast, then add a prompt to refine the specifics.

What does geometry fidelity do?

It controls how tightly the render holds your model. Higher fidelity keeps lines and proportions strict, lower fidelity gives the AI more freedom on materials and detail.

Do my earlier renders disappear when I generate again?

No. Each generation is kept as a version of the set, so you can compare attempts and set any one as the current image.

Rendering a model in the Studio

Take a set from a model view to a finished, presentation ready image.

The Studio is where a set turns into a finished render. You open a view, give the AI a look to aim for, and generate an image that keeps your geometry while adding believable materials and light. It is the core of the workflow, and once you are comfortable here the other tools feel like variations on the same idea.

This guide covers the full pass: opening a set, choosing a preset or writing a prompt, holding the geometry with the fidelity control, picking a resolution, and then comparing, saving and downloading the result.

Open a set in the Studio

Every render lives inside a set, so start by opening the view you want to develop. The set opens in the Studio with your source on the canvas and the controls in the inspector panel beside it.

Choose a preset or write a prompt

You can steer the look two ways, and they work together. A preset applies a ready made style in one click, which is the fastest way to a strong result. A prompt lets you describe materials, time of day and mood in your own words when you want something specific. Reach for a preset to get moving, then refine with a prompt.

1Pick a preset to set the overall style, or leave it on custom.
2Write a short prompt naming the key materials, light and mood.
3Set the geometry fidelity so the render holds your lines as tightly as you need.
4Choose a resolution, then select Generate.

Compare, save and download

Each generation is kept as a version of the set, so nothing is lost when you try again. Use Compare to put two takes next to each other, set the strongest as the current version, and download the final image when you are happy with it.

Generate as many versions as you like; they stack up in the set.
Compare two versions side by side to judge them honestly.
Set the best one as current so it leads the set and feeds walkthroughs.
Download the finished render for your board, deck or listing.

Use cases

A few ways architects and designers put this to work.

Concept to client

Render a massing model with a preset for a first look, then refine the materials with a prompt before the image goes in front of a client.

Design iteration

Generate several versions of one view as the scheme changes, keeping every take so you can trace how the design developed.

Faithful presentation

Push geometry fidelity high on a detailed facade so the render stays true to the drawing for a planning submission.
