Your CAD, photographed

Upload a model export and get back studio photography of the same object, panel for panel. Cars, furniture, machinery and tools.

See what it renders

Clearcoat Studio turns design files into product photography. Same camera, same proportions, every edge where you modelled it. The only things we add are light, material and finish.

Built for people who drew the thing

Image tools invent. This one is held to your file.

The camera is locked

The photo comes back from exactly the angle you exported. The engine measures the camera first, then renders into it.

Real paint codes

Nissan LV4, Porsche M7Z, House of Kolor. The real tin, with its flip and flake.

Materials per part

Carbon wing, bronze wheels, leather seat. A named part gets its own finish and it stops at its edges.

Batch shoot

Up to ten views of one model as one photo shoot: same place, same light, same day.

Places that stay put

Rooms and streets are planned as a fixed set, so Render again lands in the same spot.

Checked against your CAD

Every render is scored against the outline of your export before you see it.

One model, every angle

Front, side, top and rear rendered from the same file, so every view matches. Click each view to render it.

911 Turbo widebody

Front, side and rear rendered from the same file, so every view matches.

MX-5 widebody, rose gold

Three-quarter, side and top. One model, one paint code, no drift between views.

Selected work

Every card starts as the CAD on the left. Click one to watch it turn into the shot.

Questions

A screenshot or export of your CAD view as PNG, JPG or WebP, up to 25 MB. Any background is fine; flat shading, wireframe edges and a grid floor are all read as CAD and replaced. Frame the view the way you want the photo framed.

No. The camera, the proportions and every edge are locked. Only light, material and finish are added. Each render carries a geometry score, the share of your CAD outline the photo kept, so you can see how well it held.

About 25 to 40 seconds for a 2K photograph. Real locations add a couple of seconds while the set is planned.

Yes. Pick a factory code (for example Nissan LV4 Midnight Purple II) or an aftermarket paint by name. The colour, its flip in the shadows and its flake are looked up once and pinned, so every render of that code matches.

Batch shoot takes up to ten views of the same model and renders them as one photo shoot: one place, one light, one day. Re-render any single frame on the same set, or download them all.

Nothing during the public beta, and there is no render limit. Failed renders are given back automatically, and a render that changed your geometry can be reported.
