Real-Time Rendering with AI
Continuous AI rendering at 5–10 FPS. Explore, edit and iterate without waiting on generations.

Fenestra is evolving. We’re working on several major releases, and one of the first we want to bring to users is real-time rendering with AI.
This pushes Sketch to Render closer to how design actually happens.
Instead of generating a single image and waiting, you’ll be able to render and edit continuously at roughly 5-10 FPS. That means multiple visual updates per second rather than one generation every few seconds.
Continuous Iteration
You can adjust prompts, refine materials, change furnishings, tweak lighting, or modify atmosphere and see the result update immediately.
If something doesn’t feel right, you adjust and continue. There’s no pause between decisions and output. The objective is simple: reduce the gap between design intent and visual feedback.
Real-time makes it possible to explore more directions in less time and collaborate with teams or clients without waiting on separate generations to complete.
First Look
Real-time rendering also introduces a redesigned interaction layer. Controls are structured for faster iteration and clearer parameter control while the render updates live.
We’ll share more detail as we move closer to release.
