Sherpa, a render engine, or a render studio?

Frequently asked questions
Can I make a render without V-Ray or Enscape?
Yes. Sherpa uses AI directly on your existing work render or export. You need no render engine, no plug-in, and no rendering knowledge — just upload what you already have and get a presentation-ready image back.
Is Sherpa an alternative to Enscape or V-Ray?
For the quick, presentation-ready image it is a faster and simpler alternative. For a fully photorealistic final image, a render engine or a render studio remains the right choice. Sherpa is the in-between step for pitches, concepts, and client conversations.
What do I give up by not using a render engine?
You give up full control over materials, lighting, and camera as in V-Ray or Enscape, and photorealism. What you get back is speed: an image ready in seconds that is strong enough for a conversation, with no learning curve or turnaround time.
Does it work with SketchUp too?
Yes. You can upload a SketchUp export. Read more about AI rendering for SketchUp on the dedicated page.
