Start from the day image
A finished daytime render keeps materials consistent; a model view works when you describe the materials too.

Before you start
Prepare your daytime render or model view
Dusk images are some of the most persuasive in a presentation, and some of the slowest to light by hand. Start from a daytime render or model view and ask RenderChat for the evening version: blue sky, glowing interiors, street lights.
Decide what glows
List the light sources that matter: every window, only the ground floor, facade uplights, a lit canopy.
Pick the hour
Blue hour keeps detail in the sky and building; full night is moodier but hides more.

Prepare your daytime render or model view
Start from the day image, decide what glows and pick the hour. The checklist above has the details.
Open RenderChat with GPT Image 2.5
The start button on this page opens a new chat with GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst selected. You can also pick it from the model menu in the composer.
Upload and write the brief
Attach the image and say what must stay, then the materials, light, setting and people. Start from an example brief below.
Refine in chat
Ask for changes in follow-up messages. GPT Image 2.5 continues the same conversation, so a short instruction such as "warmer light, keep everything else" is enough.
Download the render
Download the image at the resolution you chose (1K).
Example briefs
Day to night briefs to start from
Copy a brief, paste it into RenderChat with your daytime render or model view, and change the materials and mood to match your project.
Turn this into a blue-hour render. Keep the building, materials and camera. Deep blue sky with a faint glow at the horizon, warm 2700 K light in all windows, soft facade uplights, wet pavement reflecting the lights, a few people at the entrance.
Same scene at night. Dark sky, interiors fully lit, warm path lights in the garden, the pool lit from inside, no people.
GPT Image 2.5 in RenderChat
Working with GPT Image 2.5
OpenAI's GPT Image 2.5, offered in RenderChat as two variants, Sunburst and Flare. Both run as native conversations, so every follow-up message keeps working on the same image thread. Sunburst is RenderChat's default model.
- Start with Sunburst. Switch to Flare in the model menu when you want a second read of the same brief.
- Write follow-ups as edits ("keep everything, warm the light") rather than restating the whole brief.
Quality check
What to check before you share it
- Materials changing between the day and night versions.
- Light sources appearing where there are no fixtures.
- Interior visibility through glass — describe what should be seen inside.
