If you can't find an answer to your question you can book an intro call with one of our team members on the section below.
You have two options. Either describe the style and desired mood in your own words or simply upload one of your favourite architectural visualizations. Pelicad's AI learns from the input image and applies the style to your project.
After creating an account you can simply upload your CAD or BIM file (.ifc). After the upload, your model is processed. During the processing time, you can already work with your file. For example, you can integrate it in its context as well as upload other .ifc files.
No. Pelicad helps you create architectural visualizations. This does not include iterations on the 3D design itself.
Yes. After the upload, you can add 3D objects like people, cars, and plants from our extensive 3D asset library. Also, you can add contextual information such as a fully textured Google 3D world model or poly buildings.
Yes. After the upload, you can make changes to materials as well as textures based on our extensive material database.
Yes. After the upload, you can view your .ifc file. Pelicad's .ifc viewer is focused on creating architectural visualizations and does not contain information about building status, contractors, or other non-visualization-related aspects.
Yes you can upload multiple CAD or BIM files to one project as .ifc files and merge them afterwards.
Pelicad's capabilities are continuously extended, starting with features aimed at exterior visualizations. We will develop additional features that focus on interior visualization soon.
Pelicad ensures accuracy by utilizing precise metadata from BIM files and employing AI algorithms to interpret architectural data. This helps maintain consistency and realism in the generated visuals, ensuring that they accurately reflect the intended visualization vision.
Pelicad offers a high degree of customization by allowing architects to change materials and textures. Additionally, architects can select and integrate specific 3D assets to personalize their visualizations further. Lastly, architects can describe their desired mood and style in their own words.
Yes. In Pelicad you can add context (e.g. 3D Google Model) to your model and upscale the quality afterwards. Alternatively, you can leave out contextual information and generate the landscape or garden using our AI.
Pelicad provides AI-powered solutions for real estate, offering advanced features for architectural visualization and marketing. You can create architectural visualizations within minutes as well as creating Augmented Reality experiences.
Pelicad can be used for BIM marketing by creating architectural visualizations within minutes by using the metadata of BIM plans. For example, Pelicad analyses material information within a BIM dataset and already pretextures your 3D cloud model to speed up the rendering process, thus cutting costs.
Pelicad offers a unique approach compared to traditional rendering or 3D visualization companies. Instead of relying solely on manual design work or pre-existing templates, Pelicad combines AI technology with BIM data to produce customized visuals in minutes.
Pelicad is a software platform designed to help architects quickly create architectural visualizations within minutes. It uses a combination of cloud-based BIM data and AI to automate the rendering process, reducing the time and effort required compared to traditional methods.
Pelicad is unique among architectural AI visualization tools in that you can control the AI output using your 3D CAD or BIM data. Using 3D data, Pelicad's AI does not change geometry, materials, or textures. Instead, it automates the architectural style and atmosphere.
Pelicad distinguishes itself from other architectural rendering companies by its focus on AI-driven automation that runs in cloud. While traditional rendering companies require extensive manual effort, time-consuming processes, and high computing power, Pelicad enables architects to create visuals rapidly without sacrificing quality.
Pelicad offers monthly subscription models that vary in terms of the number of projects you can run simultaneously and how many visuals you can create for a single project. Prices will be announced shortly. Please sign up to the waiting list or our newsletter to receive the latest information.
Yes, the usual free-version is valid for 7 days. Until January 1st 2025 you have the exclusive chance to test Pelicad for 14 days for free by signing up on the waitlist. Afterwards, you will enter our Basic subscription automatically, if not cancelled before.
