What is Maquete AI?

Maquete AI creates presentation-ready architectural renders from SketchUp, Revit, Archicad and other model views, with guided lighting and material controls, video walkthroughs, and project and client sharing tools on credit-based plans.

Maquete AI is a rendering service built for architects, interior designers and showroom teams. It turns a model viewport, a drawing or an existing architectural image into a high-resolution visual, with output up to 4K on higher plans. Sources can come from SketchUp, Archicad, Revit, Rhino, Blender or any workflow that can export a PNG, JPG or TIFF, and no 3D file conversion is needed. In practice the process runs in four steps. A user uploads a view, or captures it with the optional native SketchUp plugin, then steers materials, lighting, atmosphere and context through guided controls instead of long prompts. The site lists more than 15 lighting presets aimed at interior photography, such as golden hour, blue hour and sheer curtain, and materials can be named specifically. A still typically appears in about a minute, though complex requests or busy periods can take longer. The source image guides composition and proportions, and the vendor advises checking walls, openings and materials against the model before anything goes to a client. Beyond single images, the product covers more of the client workflow. Renders can be organised into projects alongside specification and cost schedules, and clients can be sent guided briefings that feed requirements into the project. Renders can be dropped into a slide deck, captioned and shared as a live link or a PDF. Stills can also be turned into video walkthroughs, and a 360 degree panorama option is listed. Among alternatives, Maquete sits between traditional engine-based renderers, which need a fully built scene, and general-purpose image generators, which tend to ignore source geometry. Its pitch is fidelity to the original model plus project and presentation tools in the same place. Pricing is credit-based across four monthly tiers, with a trial on the higher plans, and the vendor states that renders may be used commercially without restriction.

  2. 2Bring a model view
    Export a viewport as PNG, JPG or TIFF from SketchUp, Revit, Archicad, Rhino or Blender and upload it in the browser. SketchUp users can instead capture the view with the plugin.

  3. 3Direct materials and lighting
    Pick a lighting preset such as golden hour or blue hour, then name the materials and add atmosphere or context through the guided controls.
  4. 4Generate and check the render
    Press Generate and wait about a minute. Compare walls, openings, proportions and materials against the source model, and use the free regeneration on paid plans if needed.
  5. 5Organise and share with the client
    Save the render in a project, add specification schedules, build a presentation and send the client a live link or PDF for feedback.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • Source-aware workflow uses your model view to keep composition, proportions and openings close to the designAI
  • Guided lighting presets and named materials remove the need for complex prompt writingAI
  • Stills typically arrive in about a minute, with output up to 4K on Pro and aboveAI
  • Projects, client briefings, specification schedules and shareable presentations cover work beyond the renderAI
  • Optional native SketchUp plugin renders the current viewport without exporting filesAI

Cons

  • The vendor itself says generated details must be reviewed against the model, so fidelity is not guaranteedAI
  • Credit-based plans cap monthly output, and extra regenerations count as new rendersAI
  • The entry Starter plan is limited to 2K resolution and 10 credits a monthAI
  • Complex requests or high demand can push render times beyond the advertised minuteAI
  • Plugin support is stated only for SketchUp; other tools rely on exporting and uploading an imageAI
