Step 3: Render Engine Selection
Studio Ai allows you to choose between different render engines for optimal output quality:
1. ArchDiffusion v4 — Precision Meets Control
Our most advanced rendering engine to date, ArchDiffusion v4 is designed for professionals who need high-fidelity architectural visuals with precise control over design intent.
Key strengths:
- Instruction-aware: v4 excels at understanding and executing direct user instructions within prompts. For example, you can specify, “add two people near the entrance” or “remove the car on the left,” and the engine will interpret these local edits with impressive accuracy.
- Iterative design-ready: It’s built for step-by-step refinement. Whether you’re tweaking a facade, modifying landscaping, or adjusting interior layouts, v4 responds intelligently to incremental changes.
- Detail-rich outputs: From material textures to lighting accuracy, v4 delivers photorealistic results that are ideal for final presentations, client reviews, and marketing visuals.
Use v4 when you need precision, local edits, and tight control over design elements.
2. ArchDiffusion v3 — Creative Exploration, Fast Execution
Tried, tested, and loved by millions, ArchDiffusion v3 remains a favorite for its speed, stylistic flair, and versatility in early-stage design workflows.
Key strengths:
- Creative and expressive: v3 shines in generating stylistic variations and redesign concepts. It’s great for exploring different materials, massing options, or aesthetic directions.
- Fast rendering: With quicker output times, it’s ideal for rapid ideation—especially when comparing multiple design directions.
- Style-strong interpretation: v3 picks up on mood, tone, and atmosphere in your prompt, making it perfect for crafting a distinctive visual identity for your project.
Use v3 when you want speed, creative diversity, or design alternatives during concept development.
Select your preferred engine before rendering for tailored results.
Step 4: Select Expert Type
Choose an expert type that aligns with your design needs. Options may include:
- Exterior
- Optimized for architectural facades, buildings, and outdoor views.
- Great for concept development, massing studies, and façade visualization.
- Interior
- Tailors the output for indoor environments—living rooms, kitchens, offices, etc.
- AI focuses on furniture, lighting, materiality, and spatial layout.
- Masterplan
- Ideal for urban design, campus planning, and large-scale layouts.
- Supports diagrams, aerials, and zoning visuals.
- Landscape
- Suited for gardens, parks, and site design.
- AI prioritizes greenery, terrain, paths, and site context.
- Plan
- Focuses on 2D and 3D floorplans and spatial arrangements.
- Works well for architectural drawings and schematic layouts.
- Product
- For product design studio rendering, think of furniture, fixtures, or standalone objects.
- Applies detail and lighting specific to industrial and product design.
Step 5: Adjust Form Control
Form Control manages how strictly Studio AI follows your input.
Lower values (0.4–0.6) → Encourage more creative reinterpretation. Great for exploring new variations or generating fresh ideas from looser prompts.
Higher values (0.8–1.0) → Produce more precise and controlled forms. Ideal when you want accurate geometry and closer alignment with your input.
Step 6: Select Image Type
Next, define the image type based on what you’re trying to create:
Choose the type of input image you’re working with.
- Options might include 3D mass/scene, or sketch.
- Each type affects how the render engine interprets and visualizes your input.
Step 7: Prompt Section
The normal prompt section to write your instructions, but for v4, we have additional option called prompt mode.
The prompt mode is all about how your prompt is being processed in the best way possible for the model to understand your instructions.
Prompt Mode Options (Scenario):
Choose how Studio AI should handle your prompt:
Render → Standard workflow. The AI automatically enhances your prompt, making it more descriptive for rich, detailed renders.
Edit → Best for localized or partial edits. Use direct instructions (e.g., “add people”, “remove couch”) to modify specific elements within the image.
Direct → Passes your prompt exactly as written, without enhancement. Ideal for advanced users who want full control over the output.
Tags (Below Prompt):
The tags below the prompt box show your current settings: Expert Type, Image Type, and Seed Number. The seed controls randomization — keeping it fixed ensures consistency, while changing it creates new variations.
Action Buttons:
Clear: Removes the current prompt and tags.
Render (blue button): Submits the prompt to generate the image using the selected settings.
Step 8: Image Editing Tools
After generating your image, Studio Ai provides a comprehensive suite of editing tools:
Select: Move, resize, or rotate image elements.
Mask and Edit: Target specific areas for custom adjustments or re-generation by applying a mask. Use the mask to indicate the elements you wish to remove or edit.
Draw: Add freehand marks, sketches, or annotations.
AI Eraser: Intelligently remove unwanted elements.
Crop: Trim your image to focus on key areas or remove unwanted parts before rendering.
Upscale: Increase image resolution to 4k while maintaining clarity.
Enhance: Improve sharpness, contrast, and overall image quality.
Extender: Expand your image canvas by generating new content around the edges.
Animate: Create simple motion effects or animated sequences from your still image.
Delete: Remove selected elements or areas with a simple click.
These tools allow you to polish your visuals and iterate quickly without leaving the platform.
Step 9: Layers & New Canvas Options
Studio Ai also supports multi-layer workflows and new canvas creation:
Layers Panel: Manage different visual elements individually. Rearrange, hide, or delete layers for precise composition control.
Add New Image: Import additional images into your project to layer visuals or combine elements.
Choose Blank Canvas: Start fresh with a blank canvas to sketch, design, or plan from scratch.
These features are ideal for building complex layouts, design iterations, or custom compositions.
