I've got a freelance interior design project due in two weeks and honestly I'm panicking a bit. I looked at Midjourney but it seems like it just makes stuff up instead of following my actual layout and DALL-E looks way too fake for a professional client. Which AI tools are actually best for high-quality architectural images that stay accurate?
Saw this earlier while I was finishing up a client presentation and honestly, I've been exactly where you are. I remember the days when I'd spend eighteen hours just tweaking lighting in V-Ray and praying the textures wouldnt bake weirdly. Lately, I've been super happy with how Chaos Enscape Real-Time Rendering for SketchUp has integrated AI. It is not a standalone prompt generator like Midjourney, but their new AI Enhancer is basically a godsend for interior designers because it actually keeps your geometry intact. You dont get those weird floating chairs or walls that dont meet. It costs about $77 a month for the fixed license, but if youre doing professional freelance work, it pays for itself in one job. Another tool I've been messing with is PromeAI Architecture and Interior Design Plan to Render. It's surprisingly good at taking a simple 2D floor plan or a rough 3D sketch and turning it into something photorealistic without losing the scale. I found that it's way more reliable for client meetings than the generic art bots because you can lock the layout structure. If you need to fix small details later, I just throw the render into Adobe Photoshop 2024 Creative Cloud. Adobe really nailed the perspective matching in the latest Generative Fill update... it doesnt feel fake like DALL-E. Just my two cents from someone who is tried almost everything on the market this year... it is all about layering the tools instead of just relying on one click.
@Reply #1 - good point! Sadly, I had issues with cloud AI leaking my private designs tbh. Total security nightmare and unreliable.
> Midjourney but it seems like it just makes stuff up instead of following my actual layout Unfortunately, generic generators fail to respect structural constraints and were not as good as expected for professional work. I had issues with accuracy until utilizing Stable Diffusion with ControlNet. I recommend using Stable Diffusion XL Base Model 1.0 for your renders. It provides the precision that methodical interior design requires.
