AI Render Enhancer: Sharper Materials and Lighting on Any Render

Upload a render from any 3D modeling or rendering app — or a rough clay/draft pass — and Archify improves material detail, light and shadow accuracy, and glass and reflections, designed to keep the building, camera angle, and layout exactly as they are.

100 credits per run · One render in, the same render back out, sharper · New accounts start with 500 free credits.

How It Works

From a flat render to a presentation-ready image in three steps

01

Upload the render you want to improve

A finished render that came out flat, a rushed clay or draft pass, or an older image that needs to look current — from any 3D modeling or rendering app. Archify works from the exported image, not the scene file, so there's nothing to import or convert.

02

Write refinement notes — required every run

Say what should improve, for example "Keep camera angle, add richer material definition and balanced daylight." The more specific the note, the more targeted the pass.

03

Get back a sharper, more realistic version

Each run is 100 credits. The pass is designed to keep the building, camera angle, composition, materials, and layout as they are — only realism improves: material detail, light and shadow accuracy, cleaner glass and reflections, fewer CG artifacts.

Who It's For

For renders that are right, but not finished

Polish a render before it goes to a client

A render that reads as flat or obviously computer-generated under a deadline — run it through the enhancer for sharper materials and more believable light without re-setting up the scene and re-rendering from scratch.

Rescue a rushed clay or draft pass

Draft-quality passes are fast to produce but too rough to present. Push one through to get a photographic finish while the pass is designed to leave the geometry, camera angle, and layout where you placed them.

Bring an older render up to a current bar

A render from an earlier project phase that no longer matches your studio's current output quality — refresh the materials and lighting without touching the design itself.

Pricing

What render enhancement costs on Archify

Render Enhancer is 100 credits per run, the same price as every other image tool — no separate per-run checkout.

Starter

$29/mo launch price

3,000 credits every month — about 30 runs. Archify watermark included. Unused credits roll over while you stay subscribed.

Pro

$79/mo launch price

10,000 credits every month — about 100 runs. Watermark-free downloads and the video tools. Unused credits roll over while you stay subscribed.

Every plan includes the full Archify tool set — sketch and photo rendering, floor plans, 3D models, and on Pro and Studio the video tools — at their own per-run credit cost. See current plans and one-time credit packs.

Honest Limits

What render enhancement is — and isn't

Knowing these up front is how you avoid being surprised by the result, or in front of a client.

A generative realism pass, not a traditional denoiser

Archify is instructed to keep the building, camera angle, composition, materials, and layout exactly as they are and improve only realism — it's a strong, consistent direction, not a per-pixel guarantee. If one specific detail needs fixing, regenerate with a note calling it out.

One image in, one image out

This pass runs on a single image at a time — there's no batch queue for processing a folder of renders in one go.

Works from the image, not your 3D scene

Archify reads the exported render, not your project file, materials library, or lighting setup — so it can't pull in your actual material swatches or light fixtures. Treat the result as a presentation visual, not a materials spec; confirm real products and finishes with your supplier.

FAQ

AI render enhancement, answered

What does an AI render enhancer actually do?+

It takes a finished or draft render and runs a second AI pass over it to improve material detail, lighting accuracy, glass and reflections, and overall photographic finish — without changing the building, camera angle, or layout. Archify's Render Enhancer is built for exactly this: upload the render, describe what should improve, and get back a sharper version of the same image.

Will it change my design, camera angle, or composition?+

No — Archify is designed to keep the building, camera angle, composition, materials, and layout exactly as they are in the image you upload. The pass is instructed to improve realism only: sharper material detail, accurate light and shadow, cleaner glass and reflections, fewer CG artifacts. It does not redesign anything.

What rendering software does it work with?+

Any of them. Archify reads the exported image, not the 3D scene file, so a render from any 3D modeling or rendering application works the same way — as does a rough clay or draft pass with no materials applied yet. Export a PNG or JPG and upload it.

Do I have to write notes, or can I just upload the image?+

Refinement notes are required every run — there's no notes-optional default here. A short, specific line works best, for example "Keep camera angle, add richer material definition and balanced daylight."

How is this different from Exterior AI or Style Transfer?+

Exterior AI restyles a photo or render against a text prompt and is comfortable changing more of the scene. Style Transfer borrows the look of a separate reference image. Render Enhancer is narrower by design: one render in, the same render back out with better realism — the tool to reach for when the design is already right and only the finish needs work.

How much does it cost on Archify?+

Each run is 100 credits, the same price as every other image tool. On Starter ($29/mo launch price, 3,000 credits) that's about 30 runs a month, watermarked. On Pro ($79/mo launch price, 10,000 credits) that's about 100 a month, watermark-free. Unused credits roll over while you stay subscribed.

Is there a free way to try it?+

New accounts start with 500 free credits. That's enough for a few runs before you need a plan — no credit card required to start.
