Architects and 3D visualization artists often struggle with small revisions — swapping a single piece of furniture, tweaking wall paint, or upscaling background details without re-rendering the entire scene. VizMaker AI solves this with a powerful Draw Tab, layer-based masking, exact RAL palette color matching, and seamless 3ds Max integration.
1. Precision Area Masking & Multi-Threaded Generation
The new Draw Tab allows you to select specific rectangular or custom polygon regions on your canvas. Instead of running one edit at a time, VizMaker’s multi-threaded engine allows you to queue multiple edits simultaneously:
- Select area A: “add a dog”
- Select area B: “add people”
- Select area C: “add waterfall”
2. Advanced Layer Mask Editing & Shortcuts
Every generated element is placed on its own non-destructive layer. You can refine edges using brush tools and dedicated hotkeys:
- Toggle Brush Colors: Press X to switch between Black (hide area) and White (reveal area).
- Brush Size & Softness: Hold Alt + Right-Click and drag to adjust brush diameter and feather softness.
- Undo & Redo: Use Ctrl+Z and Ctrl+Y for fast mask editing.
3. Cost-Effective Regional Upscaling
Upscaling an entire 4K render consumes significant rendering credits. VizMaker allows you to select only the region you want to upscale (e.g., foliage, foreground furniture, or stone textures).
Use the Shape Mask controls to adjust margin parameters and apply Feathering so upscaled regions blend imperceptibly into the rest of the render.
4. Material Replacement via Reference Images & Arrows
Instead of relying purely on text prompts, you can upload target texture photos (e.g., brick wall cladding, wood planks, or specific garden plants):
- Texture Replacement: Select an area, click +, upload a reference texture, and hit Make.
- Arrow Linking (Batch Replacements): Connect arrows from reference photos directly to chairs, tables, and sofas on canvas to replace multiple interior items in a single generation pass.
5. Accurate Architectural RAL Color Matching
For exact architectural specification, VizMaker includes a built-in RAL Color Palette. Select a wall or piece of furniture, choose your target code (e.g., RAL 6024 or RAL 2002), and VizMaker instantly recolors the object while preserving lighting and material shadows.
6. Direct 3ds Max VFB Integration & Meshy AI 3D Models
In addition to viewport capture, VizMaker integrates directly with the 3ds Max V-Ray Frame Buffer (VFB). Furthermore, the integrated Meshy AI engine lets you convert multi-angle reference photos directly into 3D mesh models with automatic polygon reduction.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you edit layer masks in VizMaker AI?
Click on the layer, activate Mask Editing, and use brush tools. Hold Alt + Right-Click to change brush size and softness, and press X to toggle between black (masking) and white (revealing).
Can VizMaker change walls to exact architectural RAL colors?
Yes. Highlight any wall or surface area, open the built-in RAL palette, select the required color code, and click Make.
How do you replace furniture using reference images in VizMaker?
Use the Arrow tool to draw connection lines from uploaded reference photos (e.g., chairs, sofas, tables) to the corresponding furniture on the canvas, then execute a single batch generation.
