Animate: AI video for Archicad
Turn a finished Linespire Reflect render into a short video clip, with a camera move, natural motion, or a transition from model to render. No walkthrough setup, no separate animation software.
Bring to life
Start from one render and add a camera move, with natural motion in the scene: trees in the breeze, clouds drifting, light shifting. Choose an interior or exterior scene and how lively the motion should be.
Transition
Start from two images and Animate creates the change between them.
- Model to render: The raw Archicad view gradually becomes the photorealistic render.
- Empty to furnished: An empty room fills with furniture and finishes.
- Day to night: Daylight fades to golden hour and dusk, with interior lights coming on.
- Construction to complete: Scaffolding and raw materials give way to the finished, landscaped building.
- Season change: Foliage and light shift through the seasons while the building stays constant.
How it works
- Render a view in Archicad with Linespire Reflect, as you normally would.
- Open the Animate tab, pick Bring to life or Transition, and choose a camera move or transition.
- Choose the video model, length (3 to 15 seconds), and resolution. The add-on shows the credit cost before you start.
- Generate. Most clips are ready in a few minutes; you can keep working, and finished videos are saved to your history and the web dashboard.
Ready in minutes
Clips run 3 to 15 seconds, up to 1080p, with optional sound. Most are ready in a few minutes, and you can keep working in Archicad while they generate.
Same credits as your renders
Videos use the credits on your plan: about one credit per second at standard quality, more for higher resolution or sound. A 5-second clip costs about 5 credits.
Frequently asked questions
What is Linespire Animate?
Animate is part of Linespire Reflect. It turns a finished render into a short AI-generated video clip, either by adding a camera move and natural motion to one image, or by transitioning between two images.
How long are the videos?
Between 3 and 15 seconds, depending on the video model you choose. Most clips take a few minutes to generate.
How many credits does a video use?
About one credit per second of video at standard quality. Higher resolution and sound use more, and the add-on shows the exact cost before you generate.
Do I need a GPU or a separate animation tool?
No. Videos are generated in the cloud, and Animate works from the same Linespire Reflect panel and account you already use for renders.
