Whether you model in SketchUp, Revit, 3ds Max, Rhino, ArchiCAD, ARCHLine.XP or many others, Piranesi instantly breathes life into your designs. Trees, stylish effects, and hundreds of objects and materials from the content library or beyond, let you add elements you didn’t even consider when modeling your design.

Piranesi is not just a painting tool… it is a ‘difference maker’. Anyone who has presented a design concept understands the power of the artist’s impression. At the early stages of a project, where specifications are limited and it’s simply not possible (or even desirable) to present detailed treatments, Piranesi can and does work wonders.

Piranesi’s unique ability to generate stylish and atmospheric illustrations with a truly hand-painted feel, sets it apart from other visualisation tools.

In your hands, Piranesi will produce subtle and emotive impressions which allow the creative idea to shine, drawing the focus to the key elements of the design proposal.

Piranesi doesn’t need a heavily-detailed source model that’s time-consuming to produce – you can rapidly create stunning images even from simple models. At the later stages of your project, after your initial concepts have been approved, Piranesi is used to produce finished visuals for distribution to all parties involved, or for competition submission, and even for artwork to adorn the walls of the project!

Piranesi is unlike any other painting application. Designed to work in conjunction with all popular 3D modellers, it has the ability to ‘remember’ the dimensional information from your model. This enables you to paint freely whilst locking to a single material (removing the need to generate masks), and also paint with textures in perfect perspective. By remembering the depth dimension from the original 3D model, Piranesi allows you to place ‘cutouts’ with automated scaling in relation to both your original model image, and other placed entourage elements. Piranesi even allows you to place objects behind your model (e.g. trees behind a building) and applies automatic masking.
