I’m genuinely curious how you use image models for this type of design. I need a way for my wife and I to visualize a remodel project and don’t know where to start or which tools are best for the job.

dump the plan, make sure it has height etc, after dump pictures if needed,

refs of colors. atropic has some nice recipes somewhere online, entire prompts you can feed into cc. i used their workflows feature, otherwise it's painfully slow.

do it in two steps, first generate just the named 3d model, walls, stairs etc inspect for correctness, after proceed to the fun part, materials, colors, etc.

I did it in extra one step, not sure if that was needed, i build a local harness first for extra small room 6 ft by 6ft, and after that expanded into real size. It installed lots of tools.

Just upload the pictures to a chatGPT chat and tell it what you want, My wife uses it for this all the time.

The difference in the replies to this comment are striking.

One is a relatively complicated workflow producing 3D assets, the other is "just give pictures to chatgpt and tell it what you want".

It’s not different . One case you chose tiles , you take a picture of your bathroom , and give it a rough sized of tile + room and it will Give you visual check . Second option if you want it also to calculate materials . This is a 3d path . First one can be done by just chat , another one is coding agent .

And neither shows the outcome as to illustrate/support their point, which is phenomenally ironic considering the context..
