Visualization Masterclass
AI for architectural visualization
Visualization Masterclass: From pitch mood to client-ready is a bundled pathway designed for architects and visualizers who want to integrate AI into every stage of their image-making process.
In AI for Visualization, participants explore a full AI toolset—ComfyUI, custom nodes, ControlNet, Krea, Magnific, and Photoshop generative features—to build images that move from early mood, to controlled sketch-to-image workflows, to refined, upscaled finals ready for professional presentations. The course introduces Stable Diffusion fundamentals and walks through case studies where AI layers on top of a 3D model to accelerate mood boards, material explorations, and final shots.
AI for Visualization 2.0 then deepens this expertise, focusing specifically on ComfyUI as a backbone for production workflows. Participants dissect custom graph structures that address everyday visualization tasks: sourcing and matching reference imagery from 3D cameras, generating assets for photobashing, in-painting, and creating consistent image series suitable for client communication. By studying and editing pre-built workflows, participants learn to understand, adapt, and extend ComfyUI graphs instead of treating them as black boxes.
Taken together, the masterclass equips participants with both conceptual understanding and technical fluency, enabling them to move confidently from initial idea to polished visualization using AI as a core design partner.
What you will learn:
By enrolling in the Visualization Masterclass, participants will learn to:
- Understand the role of generative AI within contemporary ArchViz pipelines and how it interfaces with 3D tools and traditional rendering.
- Use ComfyUI, Krea, Magnific and related tools to generate, refine, and upscale images for professional visualization deliverables.
- Build hybrid workflows where 3ds Max (or similar) handles asset layout and camera composition while AI augments mood, materials, and atmosphere.
- Deconstruct existing ComfyUI workflows, identify the purpose of key nodes, and modify graphs to solve specific visualization problems.
- Create AI-driven mood boards from 3D models and sketches using ControlNet, IP adapters, and sketch-to-image methods.
- Generate and manage images for photobashing, people insertion, and iterative design exploration directly from 3D camera setups.
- Implement best practices for image enhancement and upscaling to achieve client-ready resolution and detail.
- Develop a repeatable visualization framework that can be adapted to different projects, clients, and design workflows.
