Beyond traditional rendering
Gendo brings AI-native rendering to modern architectural workflows — faster, more flexible, and without hardware constraints.
Compared with tools like Enscape
"We've cancelled our Enscape license — Gendo is now our go-to for fast visuals."

The shift from real-time rendering
to AI-native workflows
Traditional tools (e.g. Enscape)
- Built around hardware performance
- Slower iteration cycles
- Manual scene adjustments
- Per-seat licensing models
Gendo (AI-native)
- Cloud-powered rendering
- Instant iteration via prompts
- No hardware dependency
- Built for speed and exploration
A closer look
How the two approaches differ across the capabilities that matter.
| Capability |
 |
Enscape |
|---|---|---|
| Rendering speed | Seconds via AI | Real-time, GPU-dependent |
| Hardware requirements | None — cloud-based | High-end GPU required |
| Style exploration | Prompt-based, unlimited | Limited presets |
| CAD compatibility | SketchUp, Revit, any export | SketchUp, Revit, Rhino, ArchiCAD |
| Team collaboration | Real-time multiplayer canvas | Per-seat, no shared workspace |
| Iteration workflow | Chat-based refinement | Manual scene adjustments |
| Material swapping | AI-powered, one click | Manual library selection |
| Output resolution | Up to 4× upscale | Native resolution |
| IP protection | Designs never used for training | Local processing |
| Pricing model | Free tier available | Per-seat subscription |

Trusted by architects who ship.
"We no longer use Enscape. Gendo has fully replaced it in our workflow thanks to the quality it delivers."
Matt Salmon
Director, Salmon Planning
"Gendo has become an essential part of our visualisation workflow. The time savings are significant, but the real value is how it helps clients connect with the design."
Wayne Greenland
Principal Architect, Habitat Studio Architects
"Gendo provided the speed and quality balance the team needed. Base renders could be enhanced to presentation quality in minutes rather than hours."
Bianca Pepler
Designer, Cascadia Architects
A new standard for architectural rendering
Gendo replaces slow, hardware-bound workflows with a faster, more flexible way to create high-quality visuals.
