Best Practices

Render Quality Tips

• Lighting: Specify time of day and weather conditions for appropriate shadows and mood
• Materials: Describe textures explicitly (polished concrete, brushed steel, matte wood)
• Context: Include surroundings (streets, vegetation, people) for realism
• Scale Reference: Add people, cars, or furniture to convey scale
• Camera Angle: Specify perspective (eye-level, low angle, bird's eye)

Prompt Structure for Architecture

When creating architectural renders, include these elements:

1. Building Type: Residential, commercial, institutional, mixed-use
2. Architectural Style: Modern, contemporary, traditional, industrial
3. Key Features: Materials, facade elements, structural systems
4. Environment: Urban, suburban, rural, waterfront
5. Time & Weather: Golden hour, midday, dusk, night; sunny, overcast, dramatic
6. View Angle: Eye-level, aerial, worm's eye, three-quarter view
7. Context Elements: People, vehicles, landscaping, neighboring buildings

Example Prompt Template

"Create a photorealistic [view type] render of a [building type].
Architecture: [style], [key features], [materials].
Environment: [setting], [landscaping].
Lighting: [time of day], [weather conditions].
Include: [context elements like people, cars, etc.]
Style: [professional architectural visualization / specific mood]."

Mode Selection

Ask your users before generating:

"Do you want fast drafts or final presentation quality?"

Mode	Best For	Speed	Quality
max	Final presentations, client deliverables, marketing materials	Slower	Highest
eco	Quick concept exploration, early design iterations, massing studies	Faster	Good

Multi-Turn Design Iteration

Use session_id to iterate on architectural renders:
