How it works

Select. Style. Render.

Start anywhere
Drop in a sketch, upload an image, or pull a view from a live 3D model. No exporting, no importing—your starting point is already here.
Pick your style
Choose from pre-defined rendering styles (photorealistic, B&W, watercolor, and more), environment, weather, and time of day. No complex prompting needed.
Render
Hit render and get three distinct 4K variations instantly. Compare side by side on the canvas, pick a direction, or use all three.
Dial in the details
Steer your results with reference images and targeted edits. Match a material, lock in a visual style, or mark up specific areas to adjust lighting, finishes, or details—Motif blends your cues and gives you precision where it matters.

Bring your concepts to life

Transform any render, sketch, or model into a dynamic video sequence. Explore how spaces feel and flow—with your choice of five industry-leading video models including Veo 3, Sora 2, and Gen-4 Turbo.

Why Motif

Purpose-built for architects

Built for buildings

General-purpose AI tools guess at architecture. Motif's rendering engine is specifically optimized for architectural visualization so your renders are presentation-ready from the start.

Render where you design

No exporting to a separate tool, no importing results back, no broken feedback loops. Your models, images, and renders all live in the same space.

A living canvas, not snapshots

Take views of live 3D models and render them in the same workspace. Lay out multiple variations on an infinite canvas—compare, iterate, and refine without switching tools.

Collaborate in the open

Motif isn't a private chat window. It's a shared workspace where teammates can see each other's renders, trace creative decisions, and build on one another's work.

Your IP is protected

Every model provider we partner with has contractually agreed never to use your work to train their models. What you create belongs to you.

One plan, everything included

Access multiple best-in-class AI models for both images and video—Nano Banana Pro, Imagen, Veo, Sora, Gen-4 Turbo—all under your Motif plan. No separate contracts, no extra accounts.

Motif is transforming the way we exchange ideas by establishing a live connection between designers and the creative process. This collaboration enhances our creativity and allows us to refine our designs in real-time.

The architecture industry is evolving, and our software needs to evolve with it. Motif is perfectly timed—embracing cloud, machine learning, and new design workflows that enable faster decision-making, better collaboration, and a more intelligent approach to building design.

Motif is uniquely focused on designers, building a tool intimately shaped by the design process itself. Their innovative platform makes our work more accessible and collaborative, opening design up to more team members and clients than I've experienced with any other solution.

– Nick Cameron

Motif promises to transform how our team collaborates. No more version control nightmares, endless email threads, or lost feedback—it’s seamless, real-time, and designed for how architecture teams actually communicate.

Motif is the answer we've been looking for. It’s easy to implement, intuitive to use, and requires no downtime away from our projects. We’re already seeing productivity gains, and honestly, we couldn’t ask for more.

FAQs
What can I use as a starting point for a render?

You can start from virtually anything: a hand-drawn sketch, a digital image, a photograph, or a view from a live 3D model on your Motif board. There's no need to have a fully developed model before you can create a compelling render.

Can I render directly from Revit?

Yes. Stream your Revit model into Motif, pick a view, and render. And because it's a live model on your board—not a static export—you can take new views and re-render as your design changes, all in the same workspace.

Do I need to write prompts to get good results?

No. You can get great results using just the pre-defined style modifiers—select a rendering style, environment, weather, and time of day, and hit render. If you want more control, you can add open-ended prompts to specify materials, colors, furnishings, or other details. It's as simple or as detailed as you want it to be.

What resolution are the renders?

All renders output at 4K resolution by default, powered by Nano Banana Pro. They're presentation-ready without any upscaling or post-processing.

How many variations do I get per render?

Every static image render generates three distinct variations automatically, so you can compare options and choose a direction—or share all three with your team or client.

What AI models are available?

For static images, you can choose from Nano Banana Pro, Nano Banana, and Imagen. For video, you have access to Veo 3, Veo 3.1, Sora 2, Sora 2 Pro, and Gen-4 Turbo. All models are included in your Motif plan.

How does using reference images in a render work?

You can add up to three reference images to guide your render. Use them to match a material or texture, populate a scene with specific people or furniture, or steer the overall visual style. Motif blends the cues from your references into the output.

Will my designs be used to train AI models?

No. Every model provider we work with has contractually agreed not to use your work to train their models. Your intellectual property stays yours.

Do I need a separate subscription for the AI models?

No. Access to all rendering and video models is included in your Motif plan. Your team doesn't need separate contracts or accounts with any model provider.

Can my team see and collaborate on renders?

Yes. Motif is a collaborative workspace. Teammates can view renders as they're created, iterate on them, and trace the creative decisions behind them—all in the same shared environment.

How is this different from using a tool like Midjourney, ChatGPT, or Gemini for rendering?

Tools like Midjourney, ChatGPT, or Gemini generate one image at a time in an isolated chat thread. You then have to export it, bring it into your project, and go back to the chat if you want changes. In Motif, rendering happens inside your project, on a shared canvas, with architecture-specific output, IP protection, and editing tools. It's the difference between a standalone AI tool and an integrated design workflow.

Does Motif work with Enscape?

Yes. If you have the Enscape plugin installed in Revit, you can send Enscape renderings directly to a Motif project while streaming. Here's how:

  1. Open both Revit and Enscape, then create a view in Enscape.
  2. Render into your Revit document—in the Enscape plugin toolbar within Revit, click "Render into Document." The rendering will be saved to the Renderings section of your Revit document.
  3. Stream or publish your model to Motif. Your rendering images will automatically appear in Motif as image assets, ready to be placed on the board.
