Question 1

What is FLORA?

Accepted Answer

FLORA is a visual AI workflow builder. Run pre-built techniques for quick results, or open them on the FLORA canvas to customize the workflow and combine with other tools.

Question 2

How many credits does it cost?

Accepted Answer

Each technique is priced based on the AI generations in its underlying workflow. The credit cost is shown before you generate. Most techniques average between 50-1,000 credits per run.

Question 3

How long does generation take?

Accepted Answer

Generation time depends on the underlying workflow. Most techniques complete in 10 seconds to 5 minutes. You'll see a progress indicator while your generation is running.

Question 4

Can I customize this technique?

Accepted Answer

Any technique can be run on the FLORA canvas alongside other tools. Open techniques can also be forked, so you can see the underlying workflow and modify it to fit your needs.

Question 5

Is this technique free?

Accepted Answer

FLORA offers free credits to get started. Once you've used your free credits, you can purchase more or upgrade to a plan for higher monthly allowances.

Question 6

What kind of image should I upload?

Accepted Answer

Upload a flat image of your building massing, exported from SketchUp, Rhino, Revit, or whatever 3D tool you model in. JPG, PNG, and WEBP files all work. Clean geometry reads best, because an AI rendering generator interprets the form it can actually see, so a clear silhouette and legible massing produce a stronger result than a cluttered viewport capture. There is also a preset image on the page if you want to see the output quality before uploading your own work.

Question 7

Is this the best AI for rendering a massing model?

Accepted Answer

It depends on what you need from the output. This Technique treats AI architectural rendering as a one-click step, taking a single massing image and returning finished lighting and color treatments with no scene setup. Choosing the best AI for architecture rendering usually comes down to whether you want that speed or granular control over materials, camera, and light. For control at that level, open the output on the FLORA canvas and keep working there.

Question 8

Do I need rendering software installed?

Accepted Answer

No. The Technique runs in the browser, so you can produce an AI render online free of any local setup, GPU requirement, or plugin install. That matters most at the concept stage, where the cost of building a full render scene often outweighs the value of the image you get back. FLORA's included credits let you try AI rendering architecture free before committing to a plan.

Question 9

Will the render keep my original massing geometry?

Accepted Answer

The Technique interprets the massing image you upload, so the overall form and camera angle carry through to the output. Fine detail is generated rather than measured, which means window positions, material joints, and trim will not match a construction drawing. Treat the result as a concept visual for early conversations, not as documentation. If a specific element needs to be exact, move the output to the FLORA canvas and edit it there.
