Vizai Render
Vizai Render is an AI-assisted rendering extension for SketchUp used by architects, interior designers, and design students to create presentation visuals from a model viewport. It captures the active view for cloud processing and returns generated imagery in the SketchUp panel. Users can choose project type, lighting, weather, framing, and aspect ratio, then refine images with masked edits, create alternate views and close-ups, and upscale output. Additional creative tools support room furnishing, rendered floor plans, moodboards, conceptual diagrams, 360-degree panoramas, short AI videos, and 3D blocks from reference images. The extension also includes utilities for model cleanup, mirror reflections, lighting effects, and seamless floor textures. It is available for Windows and macOS, with free credits and monthly subscription or credit-pack options.
