Maquete.ai - SketchUp print to photorealistic AI render in 30 seconds

by
Upload a SketchUp screenshot, pick your lighting, get a photorealistic render. No V-Ray, no plugins, no prompts. Maquete was built by architects who got tired of AI tools that move walls, invent furniture, and ignore materials. Your geometry stays exactly where you put it. Your materials stay exactly what you specified. 15+ lighting presets, interior and exterior scenes, 2K and 4K output. Free to try on your own project.

Hey everyone, I'm Josh. I built Maquete.ai with my co-founder Laura, a licensed architect in Brazil. Every AI render tool we tried had the same problem: upload a SketchUp print, get back something that looks good for three seconds until you notice it moved a wall or changed your flooring. The geometry was wrong. The materials drifted between angles. So we built a tool where the model is the source of truth. You make the decisions a photographer would make (time of day, window treatment, lights on or off) and the output stays faithful to your design. Our first firm just signed an annual plan after one architect tried the free tier and showed the results to her colleagues. Three architects now rendering daily on real client projects. Would love feedback from anyone in architecture or design. What would make this more useful for your workflow?
