How to restyle a render without the building changing shape
Tell Vizard Agent that the geometry is fixed and only the look may change, and give it photographs of the real facades. It builds those into one reference sheet, anchors the restyled frames to them, and compares the result against the original render so a lost floor or invented signage is caught before you see it.
What do you type into Vizard Agent?
List the things that aren't allowed to move. A restyle instruction that only describes the look tells Vizard Agent nothing about what has to survive it, and on a building the geometry is the first thing a look change quietly sacrifices. A specific number, like "three floors", beats a general instruction.
Prompt
What does Vizard Agent actually do?
A look-change pass reinterprets the picture, and a building is exactly what it reinterprets: floors merge, a curved corner goes flat, the lettering becomes something else. So Vizard Agent anchors the restyle to the real facades and puts every result beside the frame it came from. In the session behind this article it:
- Inspected the source render and restyled a short section first to see what the pass did. It looked good, and the building was wrong.
- Built a comparison of source and restyled frames, re-ran the pass with the original geometry stated as a constraint, and compared the second version again.
- Read each facade photograph the user supplied and assembled them into one reference sheet, so the pass treated them as faces of the same object.
- Generated the wet evening render anchored to those facades and checked it against the original frame, side by side.
- Built the full sequence and reviewed it end to end.
When does this not work well?
A restyle pass isn't a modelling tool. It can relight a building convincingly but can't be relied on to hold fine detail, so precise lettering, a specific window pattern or a client's logo is safer composited afterwards. Very large style jumps invent more, unseen facades have no constraint, and fast camera moves show drift as flicker.
Common questions
Why does the building change at all? Because a restyle pass repaints the frame. Vizard Agent constrains it with references.
How many facade photos do I need? Every side that appears on screen. Vizard Agent will say if one is missing.
Can it keep the signage? Sometimes. For exact lettering, ask Vizard Agent to composite it afterwards.
