About Maquete AI
Socials: Maquete is an artificial intelligence (AI) tool used specifically in the field of architecture for creating photorealistic renders within a very short time. Users simply need to upload their SketchUp or ArchiCAD prints, select their preferred lighting setting, and speak to what materials are present in the scene. In return, Maquete yields an ultra-high-definition, 4K, AI-calculated interior rendering, preserving every selected material, proportion, and design detail in surprising accuracy. It also allows the addition of unique details such as motion-blurred figures and water running from taps to produce lifelike illustrations of architectural designs. As a tool built by architects for architects, Maquete emphasizes a fidelity-first approach in that it accurately preserves geometry, materials, and camera angles as they were originally drafted by the user. Besides that, the tool offers a wide variety of 15+ lighting presets engineered for interior photography, which include golden hour, blue hour, sheer curtain, blinds, and more. The Maquete tool also incorporates a functionality that allows users to turn a still render into a cinematic video walkthrough. This includes effects such as dolly-in, diagonal tracking, and motion blur to bring designed spaces to life. Furthermore, Maquete supports collaborative efforts, giving users the ability to organize renders into projects, share with clients via a public link, and collect feedback inline.
