# What is Neural Render?

Neural Render is a Blender add-on that integrates AI models from Replicate into your Blender workflow. It allows you to process rendered images with AI, enhancing their quality and resolution or generating new images based on your renders directly within Blender.

**Why Replicate?**
|
19 |
While we can use local models for inference, making the project truly open-source, the first version was built on top of Replicate – cloud computing provider, to ensure we can run any models in the cloud with great speed and quality. I plan to publish updates on this workflow when we’ll be closer to on-device image inference.

### Pre-Visualization
|
22 |
+
With no need to spend hours in light and textures research, we can quickly visualize any scene with the needed textures, light, environment, and anything we can imagine to get the final look we wanted to see. Here is an example based on this scene from Skethfab.

### Proof Of Concept
|
27 |
+
When it’s too lazy to model a whole scene, make a layout, or create detailed models, we can visualize a whole picture by rendering simple blocking with a single prompt, while experimenting with its variations by toggling parameters.

### AI Render As Art
|
32 |
+
For art creators, it could be the best way to create something truly magical, by turning 3D scenes into dozens of creative variations, reimagining them, or totally distracting the reality with AI capabilities within Blender scenes.
