Description
🖼️ Tool name:
ArchiGen
✏️ What does this tool offer?
ArchiGen is built "by architects, for architects," ensuring that the AI respects structural logic and architectural principles. In 2025, its core features include:
Dreamy Massing: Transform basic 3D blocks (massing) or simple hand sketches into detailed, material-rich architectural designs in seconds.
ControlNet Integration: Unlike general AI art tools, ArchiGen allows you to lock the geometry of your project, ensuring the AI only adds materials and lighting without changing the actual structure.
Text-to-BIM Workflows: A 2025 innovation that assists in generating schematic 3D layouts and zoning plans based on text descriptions.
Material & Environmental Tuning: Instantly swap facades (e.g., from Brutalist concrete to sustainable timber) and change the environment (e.g., golden hour, snowy, or urban context).
Upscaling & Refinement: Built-in tools to take low-resolution previews and upscale them to 4K or 8K for professional client presentations.
⭐️ What does the tool actually offer based on user experiences?
Massive Time Savings: Architects report that rendering phases that used to take days now happen in minutes, allowing for more design iterations.
Preservation of Design Intent: Users appreciate that ArchiGen follows the specific lines of their sketches better than generic tools like Midjourney.
Concept Exploration: It is highly valued during the "early ideation" stage for showing clients multiple style options for the same building mass.
🤖 Does the tool have automation features?
Yes, ArchiGen automates the visualization pipeline:
Auto-Styling: Apply specific architectural styles (e.g., Zaha Hadid’s parametricism or Bauhaus) automatically to any 3D volume.
Batch Processing: Generate multiple render options for the same scene simultaneously.
💵 Pricing (2025 Update)
ArchiGen uses a tiered model to support students, freelancers, and large firms:
Standard Plan:
Cost: ~$20 - $35/month.
Features: Approximately 60 high-quality generations per month, access to the online "Magic" interface, and standard support.
Pro / Enterprise Plan:
Cost: Custom Pricing (usually billed per seat/studio).
Features: Unlimited generations, higher resolution exports (8K), private local processing (requires high-performance GPU), and early access to new AI workflows.
API Access:
Cost: Usage-based.
Target: Developers wanting to integrate ArchiGen’s rendering engine into other CAD/BIM software.
🎁 Is the free version a trial or completely free?
It is a Freemium model. New users typically receive a small amount of "free credits" (5–10) upon registration to test the "Dreamy Massing" engine. For regular professional work, a paid subscription is required.
💳 What does the free version offer?
Access to the basic ArchiGen.io online interface.
A limited number of initial test generations.
Access to community tutorials and documentation.
💳 What does the paid version offer?
ArchiGen Lite & Pro Access: Capability to run the AI on local hardware for faster results and better privacy.
Form Finding & Zoning: Advanced tools for 3D layout optimization.
High-Resolution Upscaling: Essential for large-scale marketing materials.
Priority Support: Direct help for integrating the tool into BIM workflows (Revit/Rhino).
