# Maquete > Photorealistic AI architectural rendering for architects and designers. Upload a SketchUp viewport, Archicad or Revit export, and get a DSLR-quality interior or exterior render in ~30 seconds. Engineered for geometry preservation — walls, openings, and proportions stay faithful to the model. Maquete (also known as Maquete AI or Maquete.ai) is operated from England and Wales. The platform combines a native SketchUp plugin with browser-based rendering, supports interior and exterior architectural scenes, and offers 15+ named lighting presets, material-specific prompting, AI video walkthroughs, and client-sharing project links. ## Product - [Home](https://maquete.ai/): Product overview and feature highlights. - [Pricing](https://maquete.ai/pricing): Free trial plus Starter ($9/mo), Pro ($29/mo), Studio ($59/mo), and Business ($99/mo) tiers with a 7-day Pro trial. - [SketchUp plugin](https://maquete.ai/sketchup): Native SketchUp integration — render directly from the viewport. - [Examples](https://maquete.ai/examples): Before/after gallery of SketchUp prints rendered with Maquete. - [Video examples](https://maquete.ai/video-examples): AI video walkthrough samples generated from renders. - [FAQ](https://maquete.ai/faq): Common questions about file formats, render time, geometry preservation, and commercial use. - [About](https://maquete.ai/about): Company background, team, and what Maquete does differently. - [Contact](https://maquete.ai/contact): Support and inquiries. ## Learn (long-form guides) - [What is AI architectural rendering?](https://maquete.ai/learn/what-is-ai-architectural-rendering): Diffusion models, ControlNet, how AI rendering differs from general image generation. - [AI rendering vs traditional rendering](https://maquete.ai/learn/ai-render-vs-traditional-render): Comparison of AI rendering with V-Ray, Lumion, D5 Render. - [Geometry preservation in AI rendering](https://maquete.ai/learn/geometry-preservation-in-ai-rendering): How architecture-specific tools prevent hallucinated furniture and geometry drift. - [Lighting presets for architectural rendering](https://maquete.ai/learn/lighting-presets-for-architectural-rendering): Named lighting conditions (golden hour, overcast, blue hour) vs prompt-based lighting. ## Comparisons - [Maquete vs Lumion](https://maquete.ai/compare/lumion) - [Maquete vs V-Ray](https://maquete.ai/compare/vray) - [Maquete vs D5 Render](https://maquete.ai/compare/d5render) - [Maquete vs Enscape](https://maquete.ai/compare/enscape) - [Maquete vs Veras](https://maquete.ai/compare/veras) - [Maquete vs MyArchitectAI](https://maquete.ai/compare/myarchitectai) - [Maquete vs Rendair](https://maquete.ai/compare/rendair) - [Maquete vs Archivinci](https://maquete.ai/compare/archivinci) - [Maquete vs MNML AI](https://maquete.ai/compare/mnmlai) ## Alternatives - [Alternative to Veras](https://maquete.ai/alternative-to-veras) - [Alternative to MyArchitectAI](https://maquete.ai/alternative-to-myarchitectai) - [Alternative to Lumion](https://maquete.ai/alternative-to-lumion) ## Works with (CAD program landing pages) - [AI rendering for SketchUp](https://maquete.ai/sketchup): Native plugin — render directly from the viewport. - [AI rendering for Rhino](https://maquete.ai/rhino): Export Rhino views, render in seconds without V-Ray or Enscape. - [AI rendering for Blender](https://maquete.ai/blender): Skip Cycles render times — viewport to photoreal in ~30 seconds. - [AI rendering for AutoCAD](https://maquete.ai/autocad): Render AutoCAD elevations, sections, and 3D views. - [AI rendering for ArchiCAD](https://maquete.ai/archicad): Replace CineRender with photoreal output from any 3D view. - [AI rendering for Vectorworks](https://maquete.ai/vectorworks): OpenGL or Renderworks viewports rendered photoreal. - [AI rendering for Revit](https://maquete.ai/revit): Render Revit views without Enscape or Twinmotion overhead. ## Use cases (room-type landing pages) - [AI Bathroom renderer](https://maquete.ai/bathroom): Photoreal bathroom renders from SketchUp models. - [AI Bedroom renderer](https://maquete.ai/bedroom): Photoreal bedroom renders with natural light and textiles. - [AI Living room renderer](https://maquete.ai/living-room): Photoreal living room renders with material control. - [AI Home office renderer](https://maquete.ai/home-office): Photoreal workspace renders with built-in joinery support. - [AI Cabin renderer](https://maquete.ai/cabin): Photoreal cabin interior and exterior renders in mountain or forest settings. ## Blog - [Blog index](https://maquete.ai/blog): Articles on AI rendering technique, workflow, and architecture-specific topics. ## Legal - [Privacy policy](https://maquete.ai/privacy) - [Terms of service](https://maquete.ai/terms)
