Renovato vs mnml.
Atlas vs one shot.
mnml is an AI tool for turning an architectural image into a styled render — drop in, transform, download. Renovato is an atlas: the same source render flows through image variants, video animation, 3D model export, and a floor-plan camera, with every output linked back to the brief and the original render. They overlap on image-to-image. The rest is a different shape.

When you have one render and one transformation in mind — drop it in, get it back, ship it. mnml is purpose-built for the single-shot use case. No atlas concept to internalise, no node graph, no timeline. If your workflow is image in, image out and stays there, mnml is the simpler tool.
- Lighter learning curve.
- Single, focused product surface.
- Predictable per-render cost.
When the same render has to become five things — a relit version for the brochure, a winter version for context, a walkthrough for the client meeting, a 3D model for AR, and a perspective from the architect's plan — without re-uploading or re-prompting. The atlas keeps everything linked.
- Image, video, 3D, plan — one workspace.
- Vendor routing across OpenAI, Gemini, ByteDance, Kling, OSS.
- Studio editor + Agent chat included.
- One credit pool covers every mode.

Frequently asked
01What is the difference between Renovato and mnml in one sentence?
What is the difference between Renovato and mnml in one sentence?
mnml turns an architectural image into a styled render — one transformation. Renovato is an atlas: the same source render flows into image variants, video animation, 3D models, and floor-plan perspectives, all chained on the same canvas with one credit pool.
02Can I do everything in mnml that I can do in Renovato?
Can I do everything in mnml that I can do in Renovato?
On image-to-image they overlap. mnml does not generate video, does not export 3D models (GLB / FBX / USDZ), does not include a non-linear video editor, and does not include a render-aware chat agent. Those are all Renovato modes.
03Which is better for image-to-3D for architecture?
Which is better for image-to-3D for architecture?
Renovato — mnml does not export 3D models. Renovato converts any render into a textured GLB, FBX, or USDZ with PBR materials, ready for Three.js, Unreal, Unity, or ARKit.
04Which is better for architectural walkthrough video?
Which is better for architectural walkthrough video?
Renovato — mnml is image-to-image only. Renovato animates a still into a walkthrough, drone shot, or time-lapse via OpenAI Sora, Google Veo, ByteDance Seedance, or Kling, all routed automatically by preset.
05If I already use mnml, can I import its outputs into Renovato?
If I already use mnml, can I import its outputs into Renovato?
Yes. Drag any mnml output (or any architectural image) into the Renovato atlas as a source node — relight, animate, or convert it to 3D from there. Renovato treats every input identically regardless of where it came from.
06Which AI models does each platform use?
Which AI models does each platform use?
Renovato routes presets across five vendor families: OpenAI (GPT Image, Sora), Google Gemini (Nano Banana, Veo), ByteDance (Seedream, Seedance), Kling, and open-source models (FLUX, SDXL+) — 22 models total. mnml's specific model lineup is published on their site.
