Render 3D Models and Images With One Tool
Upload a SketchUp file and place cameras in an interactive 3D viewer, or drop in a floor plan and transform it instantly. Two workflows, one AI rendering engine, photorealistic results in under a minute.

Upload your 3D model
Drag and drop a SketchUp, GLB, FBX, or 3DS file. Eler converts it automatically and loads it into an interactive 3D viewer with all geometry and materials preserved. No plugins to install, no export steps to manage.
SketchUp files (.skp) are the most common format among our users. They are converted to GLB on our servers and loaded directly into a browser-based Three.js viewer. If you work with other 3D tools, export to GLB, FBX, or 3DS and upload those instead.

Place your cameras
Navigate the 3D scene with orbit and fly controls. Use the camera placement wizard to set elevation, click on the floor plan to position your viewpoint, and confirm the perspective before saving. Save as many viewpoints as you need.
Each saved viewpoint stores the exact camera position, direction, and field of view. You can return to any saved viewpoint later and render or re-render it. The 3D viewer supports both orbit controls (click and drag to rotate around the model) and first-person fly controls (WASD movement for walking through interiors).

Batch render multiple angles
Render your saved viewpoints in grid layouts — 1x1, 2x2, or 3x3. Eler sends all views to the AI simultaneously as a composite image, which means the rendering engine sees every angle at once and maintains consistent materials and lighting across them.
The same oak flooring, the same marble countertop, the same brass hardware — they look identical from every camera position. This is particularly important for client presentations where inconsistency between views undermines credibility.

Upload images directly
No 3D model? No problem. Drop in any image — floor plans, interior photos, exterior shots, product photos, clothing designs, sketches, elevations — and render it directly. JPG and PNG files are supported.
The image workflow skips the 3D viewer entirely. Upload, select an image, describe the style you want, and render. The same AI engine produces the same photorealistic quality whether it is working from a 3D viewport capture or a flat image.

Render from any image
Flat floor plans become polished visuals with realistic shadows and depth. Product photos get studio-quality lighting. Rough sketches become photorealistic concepts. The AI understands the content of your image and transforms it accordingly.
You can also iterate on the result. After the initial render, use chat editing and annotations to refine specific areas until the output matches your vision exactly.

What people render with Eler
The same engine handles architecture, interiors, product design, and more. Here are the most common use cases.
Floor plans
Transform flat 2D floor plans into presentation-ready visuals with realistic shadows, furniture, and depth. Perfect for real estate listings and architecture portfolios.

Interior and exterior design
Upload a SketchUp model of a room, building, or landscape and render photorealistic views from any angle. Batch-render an entire project in minutes. For more on the 3D workflow, see our page on material assignment which lets you control exactly how surfaces appear in the render.

Product and fashion
Upload product photos or clothing designs and get studio-quality renders. Works for e-commerce, lookbooks, and concept presentations.

Frequently asked questions
What 3D file formats does Eler support?[+][-]
Eler supports SketchUp (.skp), GLB (.glb), FBX (.fbx), and 3DS (.3ds) files. SketchUp files are the most common among our users, but any of these formats will work. Your model is converted and loaded into an interactive 3D viewer where you can position cameras and render.
Can I render a floor plan with Eler?[+][-]
Yes. Upload your floor plan as an image and Eler will transform it into a polished, presentation-ready visual with realistic shadows, colors, and depth. This works great for real estate listings, architecture portfolios, and client presentations.
What types of images can I upload?[+][-]
Any JPG or PNG image. Interior photos, exterior shots, floor plans, product photos, clothing designs, sketches, elevations. If you can photograph it or export it as an image, Eler can render it.
Do I need a GPU or special hardware?[+][-]
No. Eler runs entirely in the cloud. All you need is a web browser. There is nothing to install and no GPU required on your machine.
How is 3D model rendering different from image rendering?[+][-]
With a 3D model, you get an interactive viewer where you can orbit, zoom, and place cameras at any angle before rendering. You can also assign materials, hide parts of the model, and batch-render multiple viewpoints at once. With images, you upload a photo or floor plan and render it directly. Both workflows produce photorealistic results using the same AI engine.
Can I render multiple angles from one 3D model?[+][-]
Yes. Once your model is loaded, you can save as many camera viewpoints as you want and render them all. Eler supports batch rendering in grid layouts (1x1, 2x2, 3x3) so you can generate multiple angles simultaneously with consistent materials across every view.
