Gendo apart from generic AI image generators is its purpose-built design for architects and designers. Each tool within Gendo is tailored to meet specific professional needs, meaning that prompting should be approached differently depending on the tool. To fully harness Gendo’s capabilities, it’s essential to understand how each tool processes prompts and how to optimise your inputs accordingly. Let’s explore them one by one.

But first, a quick reminder:

Render Tool - Design to Image

The Render tool takes your design intent and elevates it into a polished, high-quality image. It is ideal for transforming CAD models or conceptual sketches into hero images, ensuring that your designs are presented with clarity, detail, and artistic refinement.

• Best use case: generate a visually enhanced version of your design with improved lighting, textures, and composition.

Formula for Render Tool

[Main subject], [Context & Key features], [Atmosphere & Lighting], [Style], [Extra Keywords]

</aside>

Each tool has specific requirements. For Render, an input image is necessary as a starting point. Some examples for a great input image:

<aside>

✔ Describe each object in detail rather than relying on positional descriptions. (No need to say “in front of the table,” simply list the objects and their characteristics.)

✔ Use precise, technical, or artistic terms relevant to architecture and design for the best results. Check our Keyword Guide for terminology that enhances accuracy and style consistency.

✔ Include colors and materials for all elements in the input image.

“a modern bedroom, a central bed with a high headboard, two wooden nightstands, each topped with a green lamp, a framed artwork with pink abstract lines, a small wooden bench, a large window with green velvet curtains, elegance, natural light, photorealistic, cinematic photography”
