What is Pelicad?

Pelicad is a cloud-based platform designed to streamline architectural visualizations, allowing users to generate high-quality renderings from CAD and BIM data in minutes. It stands out as the first web solution for 3D supervised AI visualizations, ensuring accuracy by rendering directly from your 3D model while the AI handles style and atmosphere. Users can upload IFC files or connect directly from planning software via Speckle, then place their model at a real address using Google Maps integration to generate a textured site model. The platform offers a 3D material editor, AI-powered rendering, and workflow automation, making it accessible even for teams without deep rendering expertise. Pelicad helps communicate design intent early, speeding up feasibility studies and client presentations by providing context-aware visuals without extensive modeling.

FAQs

Can I try Pelicad for free?

Yes, you can create an account to explore the platform. Pricing and available offers can be viewed within your account settings, allowing you to understand the costs before committing to a paid plan.

How does Pelicad compare to traditional rendering tools like Lumion or V-Ray?

Unlike powerful local rendering applications such as Lumion or V-Ray, Pelicad operates in the cloud with workflow automation. It includes site model integration, enabling teams without deep rendering expertise to quickly produce high-quality, context-aware visuals.

What file formats does Pelicad support for 3D models?

Pelicad primarily supports IFC files for direct upload. Additionally, you can connect to Pelicad directly from your planning software via Speckle, ensuring live synchronization of your data into the platform for visualization.

Can I place my architectural model at a real-world address?

Yes, Pelicad allows you to choose an address on Google Maps and fine-tune the model's position. The platform then generates a textured site model that accurately replicates the environment, integrating your design into its real-world context.

Does Pelicad allow me to edit materials and textures?

Yes, after uploading your model, you can adjust materials using a simple 3D editor. This can be done per material family or by selecting specific geometries, eliminating the need to switch between different software for material adjustments.
