About e.AI
Your AI-powered architectural rendering assistant
Key Features
- Private & Secure: Your designs stay private - no shared account visibility
- Cost Efficient: 25% of Nano Banana cost - professional quality at fraction of price
- Faster Generation: Multiple Agents / Parallel Processing for speed
- Batch Processing: Create multiple variations at once
- Advanced Control: Precise camera angles, style transfer, selective editing
- Easy to Use: Smart Prompting & Prebuilt Templates - no prompt expertise needed
- Architecture-Specific: Built for architectural workflows, not generic
- Iterative Workflow: Continuously refine designs with precision masking
- Direct Masking Edit: Mark specific areas to edit with precision
- Direct Integration: Launch from Rhino and Revit
- Image Generation (Imagen 4): High-quality photorealistic images up to 4K resolution, various styles from hyperrealism to abstract art
- Video Generation (Veo 3): Creates 8-second video clips with synchronized audio, photo-to-video capability, animate objects and scenes
Prompt Structure Suggestions
Prompt Quality Control
- Length & Detail: Longer, specific prompts (50-200 words) produce better results
- Material Awareness: Specify materials explicitly (concrete, glass, steel, wood, marble)
- Lighting: Control time of day, mood, and light direction (golden hour, soft diffused, dramatic shadows)
- Composition: Define camera angle, framing, and perspective (aerial, eye-level, close-up, wide shot)
- Quality & Style: Specify rendering quality and architectural style (photorealistic, sketch, modern, brutalist)
Example Prompts
Modern Office: "Modern glass and steel office building, 30 stories tall, reflective curtain wall facade, aerial view from 45-degree angle, golden hour lighting with warm sunset glow, soft shadows on the east facade, photorealistic architectural rendering, minimalist style, high detail, 4K quality"
Residential: "Contemporary single-family home with exposed concrete walls and large floor-to-ceiling windows, surrounded by mature oak trees, soft morning light filtering through foliage, eye-level perspective from front yard, warm natural materials including wood decking and stone pathways, photorealistic rendering, modern minimalist architecture"
Cultural Building: "Brutalist cultural center with massive concrete forms and angular geometries, dramatic evening lighting with long shadows, wide-angle shot capturing the full building facade, surrounded by minimalist landscape with native grasses, monochromatic color palette with subtle warm accents, high-contrast architectural photography style"
What e.AI is Good For
- Ideation & Concept Development: Perfect for exploring design ideas and creative concepts
- Quick Visualizations: Fast turnaround for image and video creation
- Style Exploration: Experiment with different architectural styles and aesthetics
- Adding Elements: Adding, removing, or replacing elements in scenes
- Perspective Changes: Imaging different perspectives in scenes
- Iterative Refinement: Continuously refine designs with multiple variations
- Creative Discovery: Embrace serendipity - unexpected results often lead to better design solutions
What e.AI is Not Good For
- Precise Positioning: Moving elements to precise locations or maintaining exact positions
- Complex Spatial Relationships: May struggle with complex spatial relationships and depth perception
- Exact Measurements: Cannot guarantee exact measurements, proportions, or technical specifications
- Text & Spelling: Often generates incorrect or garbled text in images
- Consistency: Results can vary between generations, even with identical prompts - variation is expected by design
- Final Deliverables: Not for final client deliverables without professional review and manual refinement
Understanding Non-Deterministic Results
- Variation is Expected: Same prompt produces different results each time - this is by design
- Exploration Tool: Perfect for ideation, concept development, and creative exploration
- Not for Precision: Cannot guarantee exact measurements, proportions, or technical specifications
- Iterative Process: Refine prompts and generate multiple variations to find desired outcomes
- Embrace Serendipity: Unexpected results often lead to better design solutions
Important Disclaimers
- Not for Final Deliverables: AI-generated images require professional review and may need manual refinement before client presentation
- Accuracy Not Guaranteed: Generated content may contain errors, inconsistencies, or unrealistic elements that require correction
- Training Data Biases: AI models reflect biases present in training data - results may not represent diverse perspectives
- Ethical Considerations: Use responsibly - ensure generated content complies with professional standards and regulations
- Computational Costs: High-quality generation consumes significant computational resources and may incur costs
