Motif adds AI rendering tool

The Motif platform is designed to unify 2D and 3D workflows into a single platform, bridging the gap between disconnected tools and workflows.

Using a combination of Google Gemini’s and OpenAI’s foundation models, Motif’s AI rendering offers “frictionless interaction as a single click to render” during early proposals or within the collaboration/review environment. Users can select render styles, modifiers, moods and weather conditions, or guide the software further with specific prompting.

In a blog post, Tatjana Dzambazova, director of AI solutions at Motif, highlights the generation of the main image above: “If your goal is to generate a photorealistic rendering that brings your initial model to life, just place a ‘Motif saved view’ from Revit or Rhino, open the image generation toolbar, and go. No expertise required. No prompts. One click: just do it."

Motif is led by CEO Amar Hanspal, who is best known for his tenure at Autodesk where he was the co-CEO and chief product officer. Also on the Motif board are: CTO Brian Mathews, who was Autodesk’s vice-president for platform engineering; vice-president for product Matt Jezyk, who spent more than two decades at Autodesk, contributing to the development of Revit Architecture and Revit Structure; and vice-president for design Lira Nikolovska, who was director of XD for the BIM product line group, co-founder of building ops and senior UX architect on the Revit team.
