Quick Start Guide

1. Setting Up Your Account

Before generating your first asset, ensure your workspace is ready:

  • Log In: Access your dashboard at app.archix.ai.
  • Complimentary Credits: New accounts automatically receive 1,000 complimentary credits to start creating immediately.
  • Balance Tracking: Track your remaining balance anytime in the top-right corner of your workspace header.

2. Creating Your First Render (AI Rendering)

Transform loose hand sketches, 2D floor plans, elevations, or raw 3D CG blocks into presentation-ready architectural visualizations in under 60 seconds.

Step-by-Step Workflow

  1. Select the AI Render menu from the left-side navigation.
  2. Drag and drop your baseline file (.png, .jpg, .webp) into the workspace, or click the Upload Image button.
  3. Select either Exterior (for facades/landscapes) or Interior (for room staging).
  4. Choose your aesthetic and environmental parameters from the available options.
  5. Additional Instructions (Optional): Input descriptive text prompts (e.g., "add oak wood flooring", "modern japandi vibe") to guide specific details.
  6. Click Generate. You can render 1 to 3 design variations simultaneously.

3. Editing the Render (AI Image Editor)

You do not need to re-render an entire scene to fix small details. Open any generated rendering, click Edit Mode, and use the specialized contextual canvas tools:

  1. Edit Area (Inpainting): Highlight an area with the brush, then type a localized prompt to swap materials, textures, or furniture finishes.
  2. Place Objects: Drop furniture, decor, or fixtures into your scene; the AI matches perspective and lighting.
  3. Tone Adjustment: Fine-tune brightness, contrast, exposure, and saturation.
  4. Background Swap: Replace the surrounding environment of an exterior model via quick presets.
  5. Remove Brush (Object Eraser): Erase clutter, unwanted elements, or structural errors; the AI heals the underlying architecture.

4. Generating Architectural Video (AI Video)

Bring static 2D visuals to life with cinematic walk-throughs and flybys for your final client presentations.

  1. Select Source Image: Open any final AI rendering from your library.
  2. Click "Generate Video": Located in the top action toolbar of your selected image.
  3. Set Camera Motion: Choose a preset camera path — Pan, Dolly, Zoom-In / Zoom-Out.
  4. Export Presentation: Click Render Animation. Clips output as MP4 in 4–5s, 5–6s, or 7–8s durations.
