The problem
Design decisions shouldn't live in disconnected tools.
Disconnected palettes
Designers rebuild material libraries across moodboards, render tools, and spec sheets — losing fidelity at every handoff.
Renders that misrepresent reality
Generic textures dilute design intent. Clients approve images that the built result can never match.
Sampling that slows everything down
Specifying physical samples is fragmented across portals, reps, and shipping windows. Decisions stall for weeks.
The workflow
One connected workflow from concept to specification.
Upload sketch, model, or render
Bring SketchUp, Revit, Rhino, or a hand sketch into the Gendo Canvas.
Apply real Material Bank materials
Browse manufacturer-authentic finishes from the integrated Material Bank library.
Generate photoreal visualisations
Gendo composes the scene with accurate light, scale, and surface response.
Order samples for next-day delivery
Send the exact specifications to Material Bank. Physical samples arrive tomorrow.
Real results
Design with materials you can actually specify.
Search the integrated Material Bank catalogue directly inside the Gendo Canvas — drop manufacturer-authentic finishes straight onto your moodboard and into your renders.
Manufacturer-authentic materials
Every finish references a real, specifiable product from the Material Bank library.
Accurate finishes and textures
Surface, sheen, scale, and grain rendered with architectural fidelity.
Faster client approvals
Show real materials in context. Move from concept to sign-off in a single session.
Consistent design intent
What you render is what you specify — and what gets built.
Instant visualisation iterations
Swap finishes and regenerate in seconds, not days.
Seamless sample ordering
From the render directly into a Material Bank order — no copy, no re-keying.
Why it matters
AI visualisation becomes far more powerful when connected to real products.
Reduced design friction
One canvas replaces moodboards, rendering tools, and supplier portals.
Faster specification
Render and spec become a single act, not two disconnected workflows.
Better client collaboration
Decisions are grounded in real, orderable products — not stylised approximations.
Confidence in materials
Hold the sample tomorrow. Sign off the specification this week.
From the studio floor
Trusted by architects who specify.
"We can show clients real, specifiable finishes inside the render. Approvals that took weeks now happen in the room."
Matt Green
Director of Architecture, Salmon Planning
"Going from a render to a sample on the desk the next morning is the single biggest workflow shift we've had this year."
Dan Thompson
Architect, Origin Design Studios
"Material decisions used to live in three different tools. Now they live in one canvas, with the spec attached."
