Turn a hand sketch into a client-ready render

Architects and designers use Carve to convert early hand sketches into photorealistic renders before a full 3D model exists, so presentations land with confidence.

Works on sketches, CAD exports, and photos

Ce qui vous ralentit aujourd'hui

Sketches don't survive the boardroom

Clients struggle to read hand drawings. You know what the space will feel like, but a pencil sketch rarely convinces a client to commit budget or sign off on a direction.

~72% of clients need visuals to approve a concept

3D models take days you don't have

Building a full model just to validate an early idea burns drafting hours on concepts that may not proceed. Most studios can't justify that cost at the schematic stage.

2-5 days typical for a modeled render

Outsourcing adds cost and lag

Sending sketches to a visualization studio means briefing someone else, waiting on revisions, and paying per scene. Feedback loops stretch to a week or more.

£1,500-£5,000 per outsourced scene

How it works in Carve

01

Upload your sketch

Photograph or scan your hand drawing and upload it directly to Studio. JPEG, PNG, and PDF are all accepted, no preparation needed.

02

Run Sketch to Image

Choose a style from the 49+ presets or describe the mood in a prompt. Carve reads your lines and geometry, then generates a photorealistic Render in under 60 seconds.

03

Present and iterate

Bring the Render into your presentation as-is, or use Edit & Modify to refine materials, lighting, or furniture before the client meeting.

Your sketch lines become the geometry guide

Carve's Sketch to Image reads the proportions and spatial intent in your drawing without requiring a traced or cleaned-up version. The output respects your composition while adding material, light, and depth. You keep authorship, the AI fills in the photorealism.

Edit & Modify

Adjust materials and mood after the first Render

Edit & Modify lets you swap finishes, change the time of day, or shift the color palette directly inside Studio. No re-upload, no new brief. Changes render in the same sub-60-second window as the original.

Adjust materials and mood after the first Render
Clients approve concepts faster when they can see a finished space rather than interpret a drawing. Getting a photorealistic image from a sketch before any model exists changes the whole dynamic of a first presentation.
