Step 1

Use your preferred modelling package to create and save a simple geometric model. Select your viewpoint and lighting, then render.

Piranesi accepts output directly from most popular rendering applications . Alternatively you can transfer your model as a DXF file or 3DS file into the Vedute viewer (supplied with Piranesi) to create your initial image.

Step 2

Piranesi responds to depth and material information stored in each pixel, enabling you to work quickly and accurately as you "paint in space".

You can use colours and tints, apply photographic or hand drawn textures, and add backgrounds and supporting detail. Feedback is instantaneous, allowing you to test options and steadily refine your image.
