Render Styles Overview - Vizcom Docs

When to use Render Styles

Render Styles are ideal for designers, illustrators, and product creators who want control over the visual direction of their renders. With a library of styles ranging from clean studio renderings to bold stylized aesthetics, you can tailor outputs to:

• Highlight product detail and material realism
• Explore different artistic or conceptual directions
• Match visual outputs to brand or project aesthetic goals
• Communicate design intent clearly to teammates, stakeholders, or clients

Render Styles directly influence the look of your generated images in Render mode. They act like render engine presets that define lighting, shading, and overall artistic treatment.

How to use Render Styles

1. Open Render Mode

   Make sure your file is in Render mode so styles can be applied during generation.

2. Locate the Style / selector

   In the Create panel under the Style section, open the dropdown.

3. Choose the Render Style

   Pick from available style options based on the visual aesthetic you want: photorealistic, volumetric, stylized, or industry-specific presets.

4. Adjust influence

   Use the Influence slider to control how strongly the chosen style should influence your final rendering.

5. Generate your render
   Click Generate. Vizcom will produce an image using your selected style and influence settings.

Tips & FAQ

Start with Vizcom General if you’re unsure as it offers a flexible, photorealistic aesthetic that’s effective across many product types.

Use the Influence slider to go from subtle shading to strong stylized interpretation. High influence makes the style dominant; low influence keeps more of your original sketch characteristics.

FAQ

• Can I combine multiple styles?
  Not in a single generation, but you can use inpainting selections to render different parts of a design with different styles, then merge them.
• Will styles affect the geometry?
  Styles mainly affect visual aesthetics lighting, color, shading, not the actual 3D shape or geometry of models.
• Do stylized styles follow color prompts precisely?
  Stylized styles have a strong aesthetic direction and may not follow color prompts as literally as more general styles.
