Exterior from a sketch
Turn a hand sketch or a massing model into a photoreal exterior.
Send the sketch with a prompt for materials and light, rendered as an exterior, then poll the job. The engine keeps the geometry of the drawing and fills in the rest.
Step 1: Send the sketch
curl -X POST https://api.mnml.ai/v2/renders \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $MNML_API_KEY" \ -F [email protected] \ -F engine=v4.6-ultra \ -F mode=exterior \ -F prompt="White render and oak cladding, overcast morning, wet pavement" \ -F aspect_ratio=autoThe file goes in the same call, with no upload step. A sketch already online can go as JSON instead:
"image": "https://…". This charges $0.2475 for v4.6.aspect_ratio: "auto"keeps the sketch’s shape.Step 2: Get the result
curl https://api.mnml.ai/v2/jobs/10482 -H "Authorization: Bearer $MNML_API_KEY"
Tips
- A loose sketch takes more interpretation: say what the lines are (“timber screen”, “glass corner”) in the prompt.
- Add a
referencesimage withmode: "material"or"atmosphere"to steer the look without writing it out. - Keep a
seedyou like and reuse it to stay close to that result while you change the prompt.
