Runway's Gen-3 Alpha model can take a single architectural still render and animate it into a 4-10 second video walkthrough. The motion is surprisingly controlled — you can specify camera moves (push in, pan left, orbit) using text prompts. For architects, the most useful features are: turning a static exterior render into a fly-around, adding subtle atmospheric motion (clouds, water reflections, wind in trees) to otherwise static renders, and applying cinematic grading to visualization videos. The Inpainting and Gen-2 features also let you replace elements in existing renders, which is useful for testing different facade materials on the same view.
AI video style transfer — apply render aesthetics to walkthrough videos
Takes a single styled frame (watercolor render, sketch) and applies that style consistently across an entire walkthrough video for hand-drawn animated competition presentations.
Industry-standard photorealistic rendering with AI denoising
V-Ray's AI denoiser dramatically reduces render times without sacrificing quality. The adaptive light sampler is AI-guided for optimal lighting with fewer samples. Industry standard for high-end architectural visualization.
AI-enhanced real-time architectural visualization
Lumion's AI-powered LiveSync keeps your rendering synced with your model in real time. AI sky replacement, style transfer, and smart tree placement save hours on every visualization project.
