Choose a Style

Style is one of the most important render settings. It decides what the final image looks like — a photograph, a sketch, a watercolor, a concept frame.

You'll find the style picker in the left panel of the editor, below Time of Day and Camera Angle. Click More styles to open the full References modal.

Built-in styles

The library includes photoreal, line drawing, blueprint, painterly, and seasonal styles. A few common ones:

Real photo

A photograph-style render — natural light, real materials, photographic depth of field.

Use when: you're building a client presentation, a brochure, a real-estate listing, or anything that needs to look believable.

Important caveat: the "Real photo" style can force strong changes to your drawing. If you need strict fidelity to the uploaded geometry, avoid this style and describe the realism you want in the prompt instead. For example: "Photorealistic lighting, keep original materials and geometry, soft shadows, fine material detail."

Iso line drawing

Stylized isometric line art. Keeps the architectural intent but drops photorealism.

Use when: you're early in the design process and want something that reads as "work in progress," not a final.

Blueprint sketch

Technical, blue-wash drawing style. Good for early design reviews.

Warm Afternoon / Epic Dusk / Autumn Forest

Cinematic style presets with strong atmospheric choices baked in. Good for moodboards and pitches.

Watercolor / Kodachrome Zen Modernism

Painterly and photographic styles with specific aesthetic direction. Good for one-off hero images.

Custom styles (upload your own)

You can upload any reference image as a style:

1. Open References → Styles
2. Click Upload Style (top-right of the modal)
3. Upload a reference image that captures the look you want
4. Render — the AI uses the reference to guide materials, palette, and mood

The uploaded style shows under MY STYLES at the top of the modal, above the examples.

This is the closest thing to a "custom style" today. There's no fine-tuning or model-training feature.

Other reference tabs

The References modal has four tabs: All, Materials, Styles, and Objects. Styles is one of them — see Generate Renders → References for how to use materials and objects to steer the render beyond style.

Picking a style — rules of thumb

• Avoid "Real photo" if you need strict fidelity. Describe realism in the prompt instead
• Match the style to the stage of design. Early → Iso line drawing or Blueprint. Late → photorealistic
• One style per iteration. Don't switch styles halfway through refining a render, or you'll lose the progress
• Upload a reference when you have a specific visual target in mind — it's more reliable than describing the style in words

Style + prompt

The style sets the overall look. You can still steer details with the prompt:

• Style: Real photo + prompt: "warm evening light, long shadows, empty pool in the foreground"
• Style: Iso line drawing + prompt: "loose pencil, cross-hatching, minimal shading"
• Style: (uploaded custom) + prompt: "keep the uploaded style, apply to my building's facade"

See Generate Renders for more on prompts.

Pro tip: re-render the same view with different styles

Because a view keeps its history, you can render the same upload in three different styles and compare side-by-side (use Undo / Redo or open All Renders). Useful for client meetings when you don't know what resonates.
