The frame below is real
Take a screenshot from the viewport, download the 4K render minutes later.
On the left, a SketchUp screenshot. On the right, its 4K render. Same frame, same geometry, same tree count; only the materials and the light are real.
Viewport4K renderDrag the slider. The model is not ours, it is a SketchUp sample file; the render is Courtyard's.
SAME METHOD, INDOORS
Interiors work the same way: your model, our light.
Three rooms, three viewport screenshots. Materials picked by code, framing untouched. Drag the slider to compare.
Viewport4K renderLiving and dining area. Light, texture and shadow land in a single pass.
Viewport4K renderKitchen elevation. Cabinet faces, stone counter and oak from one locked material set.
Viewport4K renderTable detail. Wood grain and glass reflection at close range.
A single render runs $150 to $2,800 in this industry, $300 to $800 per image at studios. A 4K image on Courtyard is $2.20. And most of that price is modelling labour, not rendering; you already did the modelling.
