Raya.design is AI visualization and rendering software for architects, interior designers, furniture brands and real estate professionals. It turns material that already exists in a project, such as a view from a 3D model, a hand sketch or a photo of a room, into a photorealistic architectural or interior visualization in 2K or 4K resolution in under a minute. There is no scene to build, no lights, materials or cameras to configure in a render engine, and no need for a powerful graphics card, because every image is computed in the Raya.design cloud.
THE PROBLEM RAYA.DESIGN SOLVES
Traditional rendering is the slowest step between a design idea and a client decision. Preparing a scene, assigning materials, setting up lighting and waiting for the render can take hours, and small studios often outsource visualizations or skip them in the early stages. As a result, clients see the design late, and every change after a meeting means another round of modeling and rendering. Raya.design shortens this loop to minutes, so a designer can show realistic images at the concept stage, test several variants in one afternoon and respond to feedback the same day.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Start from your own design: capture the current view in your 3D software with a Raya.design plugin, or upload a model screenshot, sketch or photo in the browser.
2. Choose how the scene should look using simple settings instead of long text prompts.
3. Generate a photorealistic 2K or 4K visualization in under a minute.
4. Refine it: edit selected areas with plain-language instructions, create variants, upscale for print or turn the image into a short video.
PLUGINS FOR DESIGN SOFTWARE
Raya.design offers free AI rendering plugins for SketchUp, Revit, Archicad, 3ds Max, Rhino, Blender and pCon.planner. The plugin opens a Raya.design panel directly inside the program and renders the current view, so there are no files to export and no separate render engine to learn. The plugin works from an image of the view, not from the project file, so the 3D model stays on the user's computer. From the same panel, users can edit the result and create videos without switching tools.
CONTROL WITHOUT PROMPT ENGINEERING
Raya.design is built for designers, not prompt writers. The result is controlled through clear settings:
- Scene type: interior or architecture
- Lighting presets: sunny, cloudy, golden hour, dawn or night, or lighting described in your own words
- Season: spring, summer, autumn or winter
- Materials and textures for specific areas of the image
- Enhancements such as decorations, lights switched on, people, pets or other objects
- Reference objects: photos of real products, such as a specific chair or lamp, to include in the scene
- Style reference: an image whose materials, atmosphere and lighting should be matched, which keeps a series of visualizations consistent
AI IMAGE EDITING
Finished visualizations can be changed without going back to the 3D model. Users draw an area on the image and describe the change in plain words, for example a different floor, another fabric, a new wall colour, fewer accessories or a different time of day. A 2x2 grid creates four different frames from a single visualization, and upscaling enlarges images to 4K or 6K for print, presentation boards and large-format displays.
AI VIDEO GENERATOR
Any visualization or photo can become a short video with camera movement, 4 to 10 seconds long, in 720p or 1080p. Users pick a ready-made shot, such as a push-in or a change of time of day, or describe the camera movement themselves, and can add a last frame for the video to morph into. Studios use these clips in client presentations, property listings and social media.
VIRTUAL HOME STAGING
For real estate, Raya.design furnishes room photos from property listings with furniture and decor taken from reference photos, while walls, windows and framing stay as in the original photo. It can also tidy up a lived-in room or clear it completely, so buyers see the space at its best.
FURNITURE VISUALIZATION
Furniture manufacturers and retailers place products from photos in styled interiors or on a white, black or custom background, with lighting presets such as studio, sunny, cloudy or golden hour. This produces images for online stores, catalogs and marketing without organizing a photo shoot.
3D MODELS AND MOODBOARDS
The 3D model generator builds models of furniture and decor from one to several photos and exports them in FBX or GLB format, ready to place in a design project. The moodboard generator combines up to 16 reference images into layouts such as a classic grid, collage or material flat lay, which helps agree on a direction with the client before detailed design work starts.
WHO USES RAYA.DESIGN
- Architects and architecture studios: concept presentations, facade and material variants, the same building in different light and seasons, rendered presentation drawings.
- Interior designers: realistic interiors from early SketchUp, Revit or Archicad models, and fast revisions of colours, fabrics and furniture after client meetings.
- Furniture manufacturers and retailers: product visuals in styled interiors, packshots and 3D models for e-commerce and catalogs.
- Real estate agents and developers: virtual staging of listing photos and short videos for property portals.
- Freelancers and small studios: in-house visualizations without investing in rendering hardware or outsourcing.
BENEFITS FOR TEAMS
- Faster client decisions, because realistic images are available from the concept stage.
- More variants for the same effort: lighting, seasons and materials can be compared side by side.
- Lower costs: no render farm, no high-end workstation and less outsourcing.
- Consistent visuals across projects thanks to style references.
- A short learning curve, since the plugins work inside software the team already knows.
