Category · AI in arch viz
AI in architectural visualization, without the hype cycle.
We test AI tools the same way we test a new renderer: on real client work, with deadlines and reference photography on the second monitor. This category collects our field notes on denoisers, concept generators, upscalers, and everything in between, written from the perspective of studios shipping every week.

Using AI concept generators without wrecking your archviz workflow
Midjourney, Nano Banana, and Stable Diffusion have a real place in a professional archviz pipeline, but only if you know what they are and are not good at.

AI upscaling and frame interpolation for archviz animation, without the plastic look

How we cover AI
Practical, tested, no-hype
Every article here is written by a working arch viz artist and reviewed against a real project. We compare tools on the same scene, publish settings you can paste into your own file, and call out where a model breaks on materials, reflections, or geometry. If a workflow is not production-ready, we say so.
