Carve

Carve also extends beyond static renders with animation and collaboration capabilities. The Animate AI tool turns static renders into short cinematic clips using 20 motion presets, perfect for client walkthroughs and marketing videos. Each 5-second clip consumes 6 credits. The platform includes a collaborative AI canvas where architects, designers, and clients can discuss, iterate, and approve renders in real time, with version-controlled history and watermarked client links. The Render Tree feature enables branching exploration: every generated render can be used as input for further variations, creating a visual tree that preserves all ideas. Nothing gets lost, and users can easily compare alternatives. This is especially valuable for design reviews, as stakeholders can see the evolution of a project and quickly revert to previous versions. The collaborative environment supports live presence with role-based permissions.

Carve’s workflow is designed for simplicity and speed. Users start by uploading an image—a sketch, CAD export, property photo, or a screenshot from modeling software like SketchUp, Revit, or Blender. The AI automatically processes the input, extracting depth and edge maps to preserve the original design. With one click, Carve generates a photorealistic render in under a minute. From this render, users can create variations using the Render Tree, apply style transfers, animate the scene, or invite collaborators to the canvas. The entire project is stored in a version-controlled history, allowing anyone to revisit earlier versions. The platform operates entirely in the browser, with no installation needed. Credits are consumed per action, and different tools have different credit costs. This straightforward workflow enables professionals to integrate Carve into their existing pipelines without a steep learning curve.

Carve delivers measurable outcomes across disciplines. An architect can upload a CAD export of a residential project and within seconds generate multiple stylistic renderings to present to a client during a pitch, dramatically shortening the sales cycle. Interior designers can take a photo of an empty room, apply four different decor styles using Interior AI, and let the client choose before any furniture is ordered. Real estate agents can virtually stage an entire property portfolio in under an hour, producing listing imagery that once took a week and cost hundreds per image. Property developers use Exterior AI to create compelling visualizations of off-plan developments for investor presentations. Kitchen builders can sketch a layout and instantly produce a photorealistic render to show clients exactly what they’re buying. Each use case results in faster approvals, reduced visualization costs, and more design iterations.

Carve is designed for professionals in architecture, interior design, real estate, property development, kitchen building, and architecture students. It works seamlessly with major modeling tools including SketchUp, Revit, AutoCAD, Rhino, and Blender. Pricing starts at $29/month for the Starter plan (150 credits), $49/month for Pro (600 credits with priority queue), and $99/month for Agency (1500 credits, unlimited team seats). Students get a 75% discount. The platform is EU AI Act compliant, with full IP ownership, no AI model training on user data, and GDPR-compliant hosting in Frankfurt. Every render is private by default and carries full commercial rights. Carve empowers professionals to reclaim hours per project, reduce visualization costs by up to 80%, and present better designs faster. As an AI render studio, it is the tool for anyone needing client-ready architectural renders in 60 seconds.
