The original drawing still leads
The comparison should show that AI improves clarity, lighting, and materiality without changing the project.

Before and after, proving fidelity, not just aesthetics.
This page exists so visitors can quickly see what ArchScene delivers: turning images and scenes into presentation material without erasing the architect's original solution.
Project
Render
Preserved
layout, proportions, millwork, openings, countertop and position of the main elements.
Improved
materials, lighting, texture, atmosphere and presentation quality.
The gallery becomes a working asset
Every scene can flow into playlists, renders, audits, and the project history.
Every example sells approval
Clients understand a room better when the technical drawing turns into a scene with commercial intent.
Test with your project
Turn a good example into a controlled first render.
The library should not be the end of the visit. Pick a similar space, upload one real scene and compare whether ArchScene preserves the project before you scale the batch.
01
Start with one clear scene
Use a JPG, PNG, WebP or SketchUp scene where layout, openings and main furniture are easy to read.
02
Check what must stay fixed
Compare proportions, millwork, countertop, openings and camera before approving the result.
03
Scale only after it matches
Once the first render keeps fidelity, move the rest of the project into gallery, playlists and client delivery.
First scene playbooks
Pick the scene that can prove value fastest.
A strong first test is not random. Choose one route, upload one image and judge fidelity by the project constraints that matter to an architect.
Choose the safest first test
Fast confidence
- Best for
- A scene that is almost ready for client review.
- Validate
- Whether the render keeps the same proposal while making it easier to sell.
- Start with
- One clean image with furniture, openings and the main material decision visible.
Geometry check
- Best for
- SketchUp exports, technical views and rooms with strict millwork.
- Validate
- Whether camera, proportions, cabinet rhythm and openings stay in place.
- Start with
- A named camera or a crop where the project rules are easy to compare.
Portfolio-ready image
- Best for
- A result you may publish, send to a client or add to a playlist.
- Validate
- Whether the before and after still feel like the same project after the visual lift.
- Start with
- One favorite scene with clear permission to become a public or shared example.
Joinery-heavy room
01- Upload
- Use a living room, suite or kitchen view where panels, shelves, appliances and main furniture are visible.
- Check
- Confirm cabinet rhythm, countertop edges, openings and furniture scale stay in the same place.
- Best next action
- Approve only if material quality improves without replacing the layout.
Balcony or exterior area
02- Upload
- Use a scene with glass, vegetation, deck, stone or water where daylight sets the mood.
- Check
- Check reflections, plant density, water/deck texture and the connection between indoor and outdoor areas.
- Best next action
- Use the winning render as a reference before sending the remaining exterior views.
SketchUp scene export
03- Upload
- Start with one named camera view from the model instead of sending the full project blindly.
- Check
- Confirm the camera, openings, furniture masses and key volumes survive the render pass.
- Best next action
- When the first camera works, scale to a batch and keep weaker views for later adjustment.
Client-ready comparison
04- Upload
- Pick the image you would almost send to a client, but that still needs light, texture or atmosphere.
- Check
- Compare whether the final scene is easier to understand without introducing a new design proposal.
- Best next action
- Publish, share or add to a playlist only after the before/after feels like the same project.
Coverage roadmap
More example routes are queued for the next validation rounds.
The current library proves the core before/after. The next coverage should help architects test trickier rooms before committing a full batch.
Test one of these routesResidential facade
- Test
- Use one front view where volumes, openings, roofline and material rhythm need to stay exact.
- Good signal
- A good result improves light and material realism without changing massing or window positions.
Compact bathroom
- Test
- Use a tight room with mirror, stone, metal fixtures and strong reflections.
- Good signal
- The render should make finishes clearer without inventing new sanitary ware or moving plumbing points.
Small commercial space
- Test
- Use a reception, boutique or clinic corner where brand mood and circulation matter.
- Good signal
- The scene should feel client-ready while preserving counters, signage, circulation and display zones.
Night or warm-light scene
- Test
- Use a view where pendants, sconces or cove lighting define the atmosphere.
- Good signal
- Lighting should feel warmer and more premium without hiding the project geometry.
Raw model or clay view
- Test
- Use a simple massing or gray model when the design is early and materials are not final.
- Good signal
- The output should clarify volume, light and proportion without pretending finishes were already chosen.
Social post candidate
- Test
- Use one favorite image that could become a public project teaser after approval.
- Good signal
- The result should work as a before/after story, with clear permission before sharing.
Visual product demos
The final image must look sellable while still looking like the same project.
Drag each image to compare. These are product demos: the goal is to show a perception lift, not invent a different building.

Examples convince, but the real sale happens when an architect sees one of their own scenes preserved and presented better.
