Real-World Examples
Example 1: Office Building Facade
Generic AI: Distorted proportions, random elements, inconsistent materials Qwikrender: Accurate proportions, realistic materials, professional lighting
Example 2: Retail Store Layout
Generic AI: Doesn't understand merchandising, distorts layout, random elements Qwikrender: Understands store layouts, maintains merchandising logic, realistic displays
Example 3: Site Photo Enhancement
Generic AI: Changes perspective, adds random elements, loses context Qwikrender: Maintains perspective, preserves context, applies realistic materials
Best Practices
- Use descriptive prompts: Combine images with detailed descriptions
- Leverage render chains: Build iterations using version references
- Organize with projects: Create separate projects for different clients
- Start with free tier: Test workflow before committing
- Export strategically: Use HD for presentations, 4K for print
