Interactive Demo

Upload an SVG floor plan to see how ControlNet will interpret it. The preview shows the Canon-styled conditioning image (white on black) that guides the AI render.

How It Works

ControlNet uses edge-detected images to guide AI image generation. By converting your architectural SVG to a high-contrast PNG, we preserve the geometry while allowing the AI to render photorealistic materials and lighting.

Philosophical Alignment

"See what the AI sees. Control what the AI does."

Canon Differentiation

Unlike black-box rendering tools, this preview makes the conditioning input visible. You see exactly what geometry the AI will preserve. Transparency over magic.

Fenestra Comparison

Fenestra offers 30-second renders with natural language editing—fast, but opaque. This tool offers explicit control—slower, but transparent.

  • Fenestra: "Add people to the terrace" → AI interprets
  • This: See conditioning → choose presets → understand result
