Veras (EvolveLAB)
Real-time AI visualization from Revit, SketchUp, Rhino and Archicad for professional architects
Overview
Veras is an AI visualization plugin developed by EvolveLAB that integrates directly into the most widely used BIM and CAD software: Revit, SketchUp, Rhino, Archicad, Vectorworks and Autodesk Forma. Without leaving your design tool, architects generate photorealistic renders in seconds from the model's existing geometry, controlling style, material palette and lighting via text prompts. The Geometry Slider lets you adjust how much of the original geometry influences the final render.
Annual named licenses start at $29/month ($348/year); the floating license (shared across multiple users) runs $51/month ($612/year). A 15-day free trial with 30 renders included is available. Student pricing at $12.42/month ($149/year). A web application (veras.evolvelab.io) allows usage without a plugin. No public API. Veras is the reference tool for architects who want fast conceptual renders without learning a dedicated rendering tool like Enscape or Lumion.
Our verdict
Best for architects and design practices already using Revit, SketchUp or Rhino who need to produce quick communication imagery for client presentations. Skip if you do not use these design tools (the web app is limited) or need high-precision photorealistic production renders: Veras excels at conceptual visualization, not production rendering.
