Maquete
London, England, United Kingdom
What it is
Maquete is an AI architectural rendering platform for architects, interior designers, and related built-environment professionals. It turns model viewports and design exports into photorealistic interior and exterior renders. Users upload PNG, JPG, or TIFF images in a browser or render a current viewport through the SketchUp plugin. The maker says typical stills take around 30 seconds, with complex scenes or high demand taking longer. More than 15 lighting presets and controls for materials, atmosphere, and context shape results. Projects can contain renders, source images, specification and cost schedules, status, and activity history. Guided briefings collect client requirements, while slide presentations can be shared by live link or PDF. Plans start at $9.00 per month for 10 credits. A standard 2K still uses one credit, a 4K still uses two, and unused credits reset each billing cycle.
