Architectural renders
From concept to presentation

Take complete control of your architectural presentations.

Start with one sketch, turn it into a polished architectural render, expand it into multiple camera angles, and finish with a presentation-ready reveal video. This walkthrough shows the exact sequence inside Sogni from the first image to the final output.

Input

One sketch or concept image.

Process

Edit in Sogni Create, then expand the result in 360 by Sogni.

Outcome

A presentation-ready still set or reveal video.

Bring one sketch or concept image. That is enough to begin.

You need one sketch or concept image, access to Sogni Create, access to 360 by Sogni, and a first-pass direction for materials, lighting, landscaping, and mood.

This walkthrough starts with one unfinished architectural concept, then builds it into a polished still set and an optional motion sequence while keeping the original structure intact.

This workflow doesn't replace technical architecture. It removes the slow, expensive visualization back-and-forth and gives you a creator-controlled process you can run yourself.

Step 1

Start in Sogni Create.

For the clearest first pass, start in Sogni Create in the browser. If you prefer a desktop workflow, you can move to Studio later, and mobile is available when you need it.

The advantage is speed. You can enter the workflow immediately, keep creative control, and avoid waiting for a separate visualization round.

Step 2

Start with Qwen Image Edit, then choose the pace that fits the job.

For this walkthrough, start with Qwen Image Edit. Choose ultra-fast or standard depending on whether you need rapid conceptual feedback or a more deliberate, refined pass.

Use Flux 2 when you want to work from multiple reference images at once. Otherwise, Qwen Image Edit is the simplest place to begin.

Step 3

Upload your sketch as a reference.

This is where everything starts. Upload your sketch here and adjust the image size accordingly. You can leave the rest of the settings, such as Steps and Guidance, at their default values.

At this stage, you are protecting the original structure and composition. Once that foundation is locked in, you can push the project toward realism without losing the idea.

Upload the sketch, confirm the size, and keep the default controls for the first pass.
Step 4

Enter the prompt like a design brief.

Focus first on materials, lighting, landscaping, and overall mood. Those choices create the biggest visual shift and give the model a clear direction.

Leave minor details for later refinement, then choose how many images you want to generate. You can select a style like Architectural, but leaving it on Default will also deliver strong results.

What you should have now: A first-pass prompt that clearly defines materials, lighting, environment, and mood for your initial image set.

The prompt defines the materials, pool, lighting, landscaping, realism, and overall archviz mood.
Transform this architectural concept into a highly realistic modern luxury house. Add a large infinity swimming pool in front of the building, with realistic water reflections and subtle ripples. Use high-end materials such as white concrete, natural wood panels, glass walls, and metal details. Enhance lighting to golden hour with warm sunlight, soft shadows, and realistic ambient occlusion. Add natural landscaping with grass, trees, and subtle terrain details. Improve textures and details to achieve photorealism, including reflections on glass, interior lighting, and outdoor furniture. Keep the original structure and composition but make it look like a real built house. Ultra realistic, 8k, cinematic, high detail, archviz style.
Step 5

Choose the output you like the most, then push it further with Enhance.

There are multiple tools available, but in this case the following work especially well:

  • Boost Realism
  • Fine Details such as Refine Fine Details or Enrich Scene Details

Use the Enhance tools to move the house from a good render to a premium presentation image.

This is where the visualization becomes much more compelling, with richer colors, stronger reflections, and refined details. You can also use Undo and Redo to compare results and keep experimenting.

Once you have one polished still you trust, you are ready to expand it into a full presentation set.

What you should have now: One enhanced still image you can use as the foundation for angles, transitions, or the final reveal.

Step 6

Open 360 by Sogni and generate your first angle set.

Take your best enhanced still into 360 by Sogni and use it to generate a full angle set from one image.

2. Choose a preset camera path. For a first pass, use 360 Spin High+Wide (9). You can define your own camera path once the base angle set is working.

3. Click Generate 8 Angles. In about a minute, one polished still becomes a presentation-ready set of viewpoints.

What you should have now: A reusable set of still images from multiple camera angles, ready for delivery or for motion.

Step 7

Build a polished still-image set.

At this point, you already have something valuable: polished stills that can become a catalog, a presentation insert, a client-facing concept sheet, or the visual foundation for a more cinematic piece.

You can stop here and deliver a strong still-image package. Continue below only if you want to turn the angle set into motion.

Step 8

Generate transitions and define how the visual story should move.

Recommended first pass: Use the default transition settings, choose one video model, and render a short draft before customizing prompts, audio, or higher-quality settings.

Once the base motion works, you can customize transition prompts, choose the video model, set duration and resolution, and add audio if needed.

  • Pick the transition type or write a custom prompt.
  • Choose the video model: LTX or Wan.
  • Set the duration, quality, and resolution.
  • Upload your own audio or generate music with Sogni Super Apps.

Your transitions will be ready quickly. The generation time depends on quality and clip length, but the system shows real-time progress as everything is created.

Step 9

Fine-tune the pacing, then render.

You can make the motion slower or faster depending on the feel you want. Select the shots you like, remove the rest or regenerate them, and then stitch everything into one cohesive film that is ready to publish.

Because the project stays editable, you can return, replace shots, and regenerate the final video without restarting the workflow. That keeps the creative loop in your hands from the first still to the finished motion piece.

What you should have now: A stitched draft video with the pacing and shot order you want to present or refine further.

Step 10

Turn the sketch into a cinematic reveal.

Recommended first pass: Use your original sketch as the Start Frame and your best enhanced still as the End Frame. Render a short clip first so you can judge the transformation before adding extra polish.

Choose LTX or Wan in image-to-video mode and describe how you want the reveal to unfold. Once the motion feels right, refine duration, quality, and music to match the presentation.

It only takes a simple prompt to turn a static concept into a reveal that feels premium, cinematic, and memorable.

Start with one sketch. Build the presentation yourself.

The value of this workflow is control. One concept image can become a polished render set, multiple camera angles, and a finished reveal video without handing the project off for separate visualization rounds.

If you are following this guide for the first time, begin in Sogni Create, complete the still-image workflow, and move into 360 or motion only when you need it.

When you are ready, continue with the rest of the workflow:
