Copy Render

Copy the style, materials, and lighting of a finished render onto a new point of view of the same project to keep every image consistent.

Copy Render lets you generate a render that reuses the style, materials, and lighting of an existing render, applied to a different point of view of the same project.

Copy Render concept: reuse a render's style on a new angle

Step by step

  1. Click + Perspective in the perspectives panel on the right side of the screen to create a new view.

    + Perspective button

  2. Upload the image the new view is based on — this sets the camera angle and geometry. It's not the reference render for style and materials (you'll pick that in step 4).

    Upload a view of your model

    In 3D projects you don't upload an image: orient the model to the angle you want and click Render to set up the shot. There the strip is called Copy camera: click a render, then tick Copy Render to also copy its look.

  3. In the render panel, right below the model and resolution row, the Copy Render strip shows the renders you can copy. Click the one you want to copy from: its time of day and location come along too. Click it again to undo.

  4. Click Continue and wait for the result.

    Any render works as the source, including edited versions: what gets copied is the final result, edits included. The camera and geometry come from the new image. If the two views share little (for example, an interior and an exterior), the assistant first asks what to bring over.
