made a free tool that answers exactly this question

made a free tool that answers exactly this question

found this subreddit and realized this is literally what I built my free tool for

you type whatever you have at home or send a fridge picture and cookfast.org tells you what to cook. thats it. no account no email just open it and use it

I put the recipe list together myself about 150 recipes all real home cooking nothing generated by AI. the kind of food that actually fills you up not the kind with ingredients you buy once and never touch again

wanna know if it actually helps people here or what kind of situations you usually post about - like is it always random fridge stuff or more like a specific thing

what do you think?

testing AI renderings, and wanna share this.

found the project on 3d warehouse, so it's not my model! here's the link - guy's model

dropped the screenshot, got this render. especially wanted to test how AI would render windows and small details, as a result - not that bad

final AI render doesn't looks that perfect cuz of original picture, but still impressed how it works

is it still too strange? always refining the prompting and models I use, want to hit client-ready level of results.

AI rendering is cooking lol

trying new models, new ideas, new projects. all the time I get great results (for AI).

yeah 100% renders done by professionals are waay better, but still for 60 seconds quick renders that's actually not that bad

the first picture is AI render, second picture is sketchup model.

render was done using gpt images 2.0 and flux to upscale the picture

does it look real enough for you?

tried every AI rendering tool out there, none of them did what I needed so I built my own

been doing archviz for a while and when AI image generation started getting good I tried everything. midjourney, stable diffusion, dall-e, nano banana. all of them. some produced beautiful images but none of them solved the actual problem.

the problem was consistency. you'd get one great render and then the next angle looked completely different. different lighting, different materials, different feel. useless for a real project where you need multiple views that actually match.

quality was the other thing. most tools cap out at resolution that looks fine on a screen but falls apart the moment a client wants to print something or zoom in.

so two weeks ago I just built my own tool. you drop a screenshot of your sketchup model in, get a high quality consistent render back in minutes. 4k download. no setup, no material assignments, no lighting tweaks.

the renders in this post are from the tool. real sketchup model I found on 3D warehouse, ran it through 3 angles to test consistency. judge for yourself.

not saying its perfect. still work to do. but it solves the problem I actually had and couldn't find anywhere else.

happy to answer any questions

woah it's wayyy better now

AI is cooking with the quality of renders lol. tried new tools and models, the results are consistent and better now.

before I tried a bunch of different ways to render fast and posted about it here earlier. results were reasonable trash. but now it's nearly presentable to the clients

of course manual professional renders are 100% better than done with AI. but the time saved to do that is insane

dropped before/after pictures of the project in the link above, check them out. p.s modeler is not me, it's again that guy, sending link - great model

would you show this to a client or does it still feel too AI to you?

before and after AI rendering, 3 angles of the same sketchup project

wanted to see if AI rendering stays consistent when you switch angles on the same project. usually you test one shot and it looks fine but then a different angle breaks completely.

ran 4 angles of the same sketchup model. exterior front and back side view and 2 interior views of one living room. being transparent, this is a model I found on 3D warehouse, not my own project. just used it to test AI.

results are better than I expected across all four. lighting and materials stay consistent, trees and landscaping don't go weird between angles.

actually looks almost perfect. that's something I'd show my clients.

anyone else tested AI consistency across multiple angles?

Is it better now?

found this cabin project on 3D sketchup warehouse and wanted to test AI rendering on something more complex than interiors. exterior with trees, landscaping, multiple buildings, natural light. harder than a simple room.

being fully transparent here, this is not my model and I didn't do the design. just used it to test AI on a more complex scene.

dropped the sketchup screenshots in and got the renders back in minutes. 3 different angles. what you think about the result on something this detailed?

does exterior + greenery still feel too strange for real use?

tried AI rendering again on a new project, still impressed

was skeptical after the first time. thought maybe I got lucky with that room. easy layout, good natural light, nothing too complex.

ran it on a completely different project this time. trickier space, more furniture. expected it to fall apart somewhere.

same results. not flawless, materials still have that too clean feeling if you look close. but for a concept render to show a client it does exactly what it needs to do.

hard to argue with it now. two projects in and the workflow is starting to make sense.

before and after in the pictures. first is AI render done via airender.ai, second is the raw sketchup model.

would you show this to a client or does it still feel too AI to you?

Stopped wasting render time on first client meetings

used to spend 3-4 hours setting up a proper vray render before every first client meeting. half the time they'd change the whole layout anyway. complete waste.

switched to AI rendering for early concepts now. upload the model, get something presentable back in minutes. clients at that stage just want to see the general feel not perfect materials or lighting.

saves me hours every week on projects that are still in the back and forth phase

anyone else using AI? or you think it's not that good yet

u/Nervous-Phase6007 — 15 days ago

been on rendering for years. tried one AI tool for a week on every project just to see what happens.

the speed is insane. renders that took 30-40 minutes in vray came back in under 60 seconds. for client concepts and early approvals it worked really well. clients didn't notice the difference at that stage.

where it fell short was complex materials and lighting control. anything detailed I still wanted vray.

overall saved maybe 4-5 hours across the week. not replacing vray for final work but for everything before that it's hard to ignore.

the second picture is before and the first one is after, used airender.ai for that

what do you think?

u/Nervous-Phase6007 — 17 days ago

The first picture is ai render, the second picture is basic sketchup model

Way faster than doing it the old way but want to know what you think. Does it look good or does something feel off?

Might use this for showing clients but need honest feedback. Does it look real enough?

Even if its not good for final presentations maybe it works for quick ideation or early concepts?

Many people asked for a tool, it's airender.ai. Not affiliate or smth, the render done via free version

u/Nervous-Phase6007 — 21 days ago

happens every time. game is fun, update drops, something feels off. clash royale does this constantly. they patch one card and somehow three other things break. brawl stars had a update last year that changed the feel of movement and nobody asked for that.

its not always something you can explain either. sometimes the game just feels slower. or a match that used to feel fair now feels random. or they added a new screen you have to click through every time you open it.

rush royale did this too. added a whole new mode and the core matchmaking got worse right after. coincidence maybe but it kept happening.

why do devs fix things nobody complained about and break things everyone liked

if you had to delete every ios game and keep only one for the rest of your life. What would it be and why?

for me it's Ludus merge arena, played for almost a year so far
