Quick enhancement Existing renders taken to photorealism More renders Produced per project Colour schemes Multiple options shown with ease ![DND Studio project rendered with Gendo](https://assets.gendo.ai/marketing/dnd-irving-after.jpg) ![DND Studio](https://assets.gendo.ai/marketing/dnd-studio-logo.png) About the practice ## DND Studio Team Size Studio practice Discipline Architecture and interiors Projects Single residential dwellings, commercial fitout Stack Rhino, Revit, Enscape, Gendo DND Studio works mostly on single residential dwellings with some commercial fitout projects, typically for high-end residential clients. Concepts are designed in Rhino and moved into Revit for documentation, with Enscape used for visualisation. Gendo sits at the end of that chain, enhancing existing renders to a photorealistic standard. > "We design concept in Rhino and then once concept is decided move to Revit for documentation. Enscape is used in Rhino for visualisation. We use Gendo for architectural visualisation to enhance existing renders to be more photorealistic." > > — Min Tian, Architectural Designer The challenge ## Photorealism cost hours in the render engine Getting a render to a photorealistic, presentable standard took a long time. Editing material textures, swapping palettes and adding appliances and decoration were each slow operations. Styling a home — furnishings, placement, editing — added further hours, and clients often struggled to visualise a space without a realistic image to judge the potential and the light quality. The solution ## Testing materials and furnishing before committing The practice came to Gendo to see how AI could speed up production and design. What worked immediately was the ability to add furnishings and test materials before committing to them in the model, and to make quick palette changes that lift the render overall. "Easy to add furnishings and test out materials before commitment. Able to produce quick changes in material palette and quick enhancements that improve the overall render." Min Tian, Architectural Designer Landscape ## A landscape plan a client could finally read On one project the landscape design existed only as a plan and a planting schedule, which the client could not interpret. There were no renders of it. Using the two-dimensional plan and schedule as the input, the team produced a three-dimensional visualisation of the finished landscape, letting the client understand landscape and architecture as one design context rather than two documents. > "With Gendo we were able to produce a 3D visualisation of what the landscape will look like based on the 2D landscape plan and schedule, helping the client to understand the entire design context, landscape and architecture together." Options ## Colour schemes offered without a cost penalty Where a client wants to see several directions, alternative colour schemes can now be produced with ease rather than being rationed. That changes the conversation from approving one proposal to choosing between considered options. Transformation ## Before & After Drag to compare the transformation Before Gendo An Enscape render carrying the geometry, the planting layout and the design decision, but not the realism needed to present. With Gendo Material, planting and light resolved to a photorealistic standard without altering the architecture. ![Enhanced in Gendo](https://assets.gendo.ai/marketing/dnd-irving-after.jpg) Enhanced in Gendo ![Enscape render](https://assets.gendo.ai/marketing/dnd-irving-before.jpg) Enscape render Drag to compare ## The Impact: More renders per project, better presentations Presentation quality has increased and so has the number of renders produced per project, which helps clients understand both the design and their own home. Impact ## Key Outcomes More renders per project Volume no longer limited by render time Higher presentation quality A stronger impression of the work produced Faster material testing Palettes tried before they are committed Landscape made legible 2D plans turned into a readable 3D context Feedback ## Amazed by the photorealism Client reaction has centred on the photorealistic quality of the imagery, which is what makes the potential of a space and its light convincing. Inside the team the read is practical: simple enhancements and material changes have been genuinely easy, while more complex instructions can still need a second attempt. > "It is an amazing web based app to use to speed up visualisation, test ideas and convince clients of your vision for the project."
