ArchiVinci turns images of architectural designs into visualizations in a browser. It accepts sketches, photos, floor plans, elevations and screenshots of 3D models, with tools to render, edit and plan designs or turn still images into short architectural videos. The company says the platform tracks geometry and warns when a prompt could distort a structure. SketchUp designs need to be uploaded as PNG, JPEG or WEBP images; native .skp files are not supported. The site names Rhino, SketchUp, Revit, 3ds Max, AutoCAD and Archicad as compatible when their designs are supplied in those image formats. A SketchUp render plugin is also listed. The service is aimed at architecture studios, interior designers, landscape and urban planners, real estate professionals, students and homeowners. A free plan and free trial are listed, with paid access noted from $39; individual plan prices are not provided. Premium plans allow up to four concurrent renders, while other models use coins. Video generation costs 5 to 25 coins per video depending on quality. Renders are stored for 7 days before deletion.
Who it is for
ArchiVinci may suit architecture and interior design teams, planners, real estate professionals, students and homeowners who want to visualize design images. It can also suit SketchUp users willing to upload image exports rather than native files.
