Redraw Capture is the new free plugin for SketchUp launched by Redraw, the largest artificial intelligence software for architecture in Latin America. The tool automates the preparation of 3D models for rendering, eliminating manual steps that consume hours of work and allowing architects and interior designers to focus on what really matters: creating exceptional projects.
What is Redraw Capture
Developed based on the main difficulties identified by architects who use artificial intelligence to present projects, Redraw Capture solves one of the biggest bottlenecks in the workflow: preparing the 3D model for rendering. Adjusting lighting, organizing layers, configuring cameras and optimizing files are tasks that took up a lot of time before generating the final image. Now, all this can be done in seconds with just a few clicks.
The plugin is available free of charge to any SketchUp user, even those who do not yet use the Redraw platform. According to Alexandre Kuhn, co-founder of Redraw, the tool was created to meet a real market need: democratize the use of artificial intelligence in architecture.
- Automatic camera, lighting and environment presets developed by experts
- Photography control system with professional camera features within SketchUp
- Direct export to the Redraw platform without intermediate steps
- Compatible with any recent version of SketchUp
- Simple installation and integrated software interface
Key features of the plugin
Redraw Capture brings together the best practices for preparing 3D models for rendering with AI. Instead of manually configuring each scene, the professional can apply tried and tested parameters, ensuring high quality results without trial and error. The tool includes features that previously required advanced knowledge in lighting and scene setup.
One of the most anticipated features is the new mirror creation system. As reflections have always been a challenge for renderings with artificial intelligence, the plugin automatically creates mirrors in the model with correct perspective, including in groups and complex shapes, significantly improving the fidelity of the final images. The automatic lighting also received important updates, including spots that allow you to configure the angle, range and direction of the light directly on the model.
- Automatic lighting with LED strips and spots configured by angle and direction
- Automatic creation of mirrors with correct perspective in groups and complex shapes
- Automatic design optimization with weight reduction and layer organization
- HTML report with project statistics, history and capture gallery
- Toolbar integrated into SketchUp for quick access to all functions
How the plugin benefits architects and designers
For architecture offices and interior designers, time spent on technical configurations represents a significant cost. Redraw Capture eliminates this waste by automating repetitive tasks like adjusting lighting, camera setup, and model organization. The result is a faster workflow with the same or higher quality.
The possibility of exporting directly to the Redraw platform also speeds up the creation of photorealistic renders, style variations and new project concepts. All of this directly from the SketchUp interface, without the need to open additional programs or convert formats.
How to get Redraw Capture
The plugin can be downloaded for free from the official Redraw website. Installation is simple and the plugin works directly integrated into the SketchUp interface, with sequential and intuitive commands that speed up the entire workflow. It doesn't matter if you are a freelance professional or part of a large office: Redraw Capture is designed to adapt to different needs and experience levels.
