Renderings
Images from the view you set in the browser: viewpoint, volume, openings and sun position are fixed, material and light are added. Exteriors, sections and rooms, in HD, 2K or 4K.
In short
VEDUTUM’s architectural rendering is an image made from your checked model: the browser hands over viewpoint, volume, openings and the sun position of the site, and an image model adds material, light and surroundings. You choose camera, time of day, style and quality level, and points and running time are on the button before you start. An image costs one point in HD, four in 2K and eight in 4K. What is not in the plan is not in the image.

Key facts
Source
Each image is made from a view of your checked model, so viewpoint, volume and openings come from the plan.
Cost
An image costs one point in HD, four points in 2K and eight points in 4K.
Sizes
HD is around 1,024 pixels, 2K around 2,048 pixels and 4K around 4,096 pixels.
Speed
One image usually takes around thirty seconds, and a package of ten images takes a few minutes.
Limit
Material, light and planting are a proposal from the image model, not a promise of the built result.
How is an architectural rendering made from a floor plan?
The first half is yours: from the checked floor plan a volume stands in the browser, and you pick viewpoint, focal length, storey, date and time. That fixes perspective, proportion, window axes and the direction of the shadows.
The second half is done by an image model. It receives exactly that view plus your notes on facade, roof, frames and surroundings, and lays surfaces, light and planting over it — edge for edge in the same place. That is not a photograph and not a physical light simulation; it is an image that sits on your geometry.
What can you set for each rendering?
Camera
Street, corner, garden side, aerial, a section through a storey or a room from inside.
Date and time
For sun elevation and shadows, for example 21 June at 14:30.
Quality level
HD around 1,024 px for review, 2K around 2,048 px for meetings and web, 4K around 4,096 px for print.
One image or a package
A package runs several cameras in one go: ten images and two clips in a few minutes.
What is in the image and what is not?
Geometry, camera and openings come from the plan you checked. Material, light, planting and the exact look of the surroundings come from the image model: they are a proposal, not a promise, and every caption says so.
What is not in the plan the model cannot know. A detail at the parapet, a specific joint pattern or an exact fit-out is post-production work, not a run.
Two images of the same scene are very similar but not pixel-identical. If you need a series with the same background, compute it in one run as a package.
Frequently asked questions
How much does an architectural rendering cost?
One point in HD, four in 2K and eight in 4K. A new account has 90 points for 30 days to try it out, with no payment details; after that the Solo plan at €19 per month includes 90 points.
Can I get a rendering from a floor plan alone?
Yes. You upload the floor plan, check the geometry in the browser and then choose a camera. Reading the plan costs two points per storey.
Are the images photorealistic?
They are high-quality visualisations, not photographs of a built situation. Geometry and perspective come from your plan, material and light from the image model.
Can I use the images for print?
Yes. For large formats choose the 4K level at around 4,096 pixels. How many pixels a board needs depends on format and viewing distance.
How long does one image take?
Usually around thirty seconds. A package of ten images is done in a few minutes because three images are computed at once.
Can I try another material after the first image?
Yes. Notes on facade, roof and frames are settings, so a variant is a new run from the same camera. Two images of the same scene are very similar but not pixel-identical.
