Gendo × Material Bank

    From interior render to real material
    sample in 24 hours

    Interior design runs on specification. Gendo and Material Bank bring visualisation and specification into one workflow — render your scheme with real manufacturer finishes, then order the physical samples to your studio for the next morning.

    The problem

    Design decisions shouldn't live in disconnected tools.

    Disconnected palettes

    Designers rebuild material libraries across moodboards, render tools, and spec sheets — losing fidelity at every handoff.

    Renders that misrepresent reality

    Generic textures dilute design intent. Clients approve images that the built result can never match.

    Sampling that slows everything down

    Specifying physical samples is fragmented across portals, reps, and shipping windows. Decisions stall for weeks.

    The workflow

    One connected workflow from concept to specification.

    Upload your interior scheme

    Bring a SketchUp, Revit or Rhino export, a viewport capture, or a hand sketch into the Gendo canvas.

    Built for how interior designers specify

    Specification is where interior projects are won and lost. A scheme approved on a stylised render is a scheme that gets value-engineered at tender. When what you render is what you can order, the approval holds.

    Finishes schedules that match the render

    The material in the visual references a real, orderable product. Your finishes schedule and your presentation image describe the same scheme.

    Client sign-off in the room

    Show two upholstery options side by side, agree a direction, and order the sample before the meeting ends.

    Fewer surprises at tender

    Specifying from a real catalogue from concept stage reduces the gap between the approved image and the buildable scheme.

    Real results

    Design with materials you can actually specify.

    Search the integrated Material Bank catalogue directly inside the Gendo Canvas — drop manufacturer-authentic finishes straight onto your moodboard and into your renders. Built into Gendo's interior rendering software.

    Manufacturer-authentic materials

    Every finish references a real, specifiable product from the Material Bank library.

    Accurate finishes and textures

    Surface, sheen, scale, and grain rendered with architectural fidelity.

    Faster client approvals

    Show real materials in context. Move from concept to sign-off in a single session.

    Consistent design intent

    What you render is what you specify — and what gets built.

    Instant visualisation iterations

    Swap finishes and regenerate in seconds, not days.

    Seamless sample ordering

    From the render directly into a Material Bank order — no copy, no re-keying.

    Why it matters

    AI visualisation becomes far more powerful when connected to real products.

    Reduced design friction

    One canvas replaces moodboards, rendering tools, and supplier portals.

    Faster specification

    Render and spec become a single act, not two disconnected workflows.

    Better client collaboration

    Decisions are grounded in real, orderable products — not stylised approximations.

    Confidence in materials

    Hold the sample tomorrow. Sign off the specification this week.

    From the studio floor

    Trusted by architects who specify.

    "Gendo provided the speed and quality balance the team needed. Base renders could be enhanced to presentation quality in minutes rather than hours."
