Before you start
Prepare your massing model view
Early massing studies are about volume, height and how a building sits in its context. Export the white model, describe a facade approach and the setting, and test several architectural expressions on the same massing in RenderChat.
Choose the eye
A street-level view tests how the building feels; an elevated view tests how it sits in its block.
Write the facade idea
Describe the facade approach in a sentence: brick with deep reveals, a glass box with fins, timber screens.

Example briefs
Massing model briefs to start from
Copy a brief, paste it into RenderChat with your massing model view, and change the materials and mood to match your project.
Turn this massing model into a photoreal street-level render. Keep the volumes and heights exactly. Red-brown brick with deep window reveals, a glazed ground floor with shops, street trees and people, overcast light. Render the grey context buildings as existing city blocks.
Same massing and camera. Facade of floor-to-ceiling glass behind vertical timber fins, planted roof terraces, warm evening light.

Reve's 2.1 image model. RenderChat sends it one complete edit request per render, at high resolution.

- Describe the light and materials precisely; each request is read on its own.
Quality check
What to check before you share it
- Heights and setbacks — massing is the one thing that must not change.
- The number of floors the AI implies through windows.
- Context buildings staying in the background.
