Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Atelier 14, its AI technology, and its plans for design professionals.

General

What is Atelier 14 and who is the platform for?↓
Atelier 14 is an AI-powered 3D rendering tool for interior designers, architects, and kitchen designers. It transforms photos or 2D plans into photorealistic spatial concepts without manual 3D modeling, including real manufacturer products.
Do I need to know how to use complex 3D software (Sketchup, 3ds Max)?↓
Absolutely not! If you can take a photo or draw a basic sketch, you can use Atelier 14. No polygon modeling or lighting node management required. The AI handles all the complex geometry.
How long does it take to generate a render?↓
Timing varies with the selected engine, reference complexity, and provider load. The platform shows progress; premium renders and batches can take several minutes.

Pricing and Credits

How do plans and credits work?↓
Atelier 14 currently offers monthly subscriptions; annual billing is planned for a later release. Each plan includes credits. Nano Banana 2 costs 2 credits per image, Nano Banana Pro 4, and GPT Image 2 8; the exact cost is shown before generation.
What happens if I exceed my monthly credits?↓
New generations stop when the balance is insufficient. Subscribers can explicitly purchase a 50, 150, or 500-credit top-up; no purchase or charge happens automatically.
Do you offer a free trial?↓
Yes, creating an account includes 10 free credits. That provides up to 5 Nano Banana 2 images, 2 Nano Banana Pro images, or 1 GPT Image 2 image, with no credit card required.

Quality and Features

Does the AI preserve the room's structure?↓
Geometry Lock strengthens the instructions to preserve the visible perspective and structural elements. As with any AI-generated render, results can vary: always verify dimensions and structural decisions in your technical tools.
Can we select specific models and manufacturers?↓
Indeed. Atelier 14 integrates catalogs from flooring suppliers, hardware models, and cabinet door standards. Options expand month by month through our partnerships with local manufacturers.
Who owns the generated renders?↓
All images you generate with a paid account belong to you 100%. You're free to use them for commercial presentations, on your website, or on social media.

Comparisons

What's the difference between Atelier 14 and RoomGPT?↓
Atelier 14 is designed around interior design workflows: project context, optional Geometry Lock, a choice of image engines, manufacturer catalogs, and renders up to 4K. The output remains a visual proposal to review before any technical decision.
Atelier 14 vs Foyr Neo: which one to choose?↓
Foyr Neo relies on manual room-by-room 3D modeling. Atelier 14 starts from a photo and automates visualization; timing varies by engine and complexity. It is designed for presenting concepts without preliminary technical modeling.
Why use Atelier 14 instead of Midjourney or ChatGPT?↓
Atelier 14 adds project context, a choice of image engines, optional Geometry Lock, and manufacturer product selections to image generation. Renders visualize a concept and should be verified in a technical tool before confirming dimensions or structure.
Does Atelier 14 replace SketchUp or 20-20 Design?↓
Atelier 14 doesn't replace these technical modeling software, it complements them. It's ideal for the presentation and sales phase: quickly generating photorealistic renders to show concepts to your clients before moving to detailed technical modeling.

Availability and Geography

Is Atelier 14 available in Montreal, Quebec City, and Laval?↓
Yes, Atelier 14 is available everywhere in Quebec and Canada. Our team is based in Stoneham, near Quebec City, and our catalog includes products from Quebec and Canadian manufacturers available locally.
Does Atelier 14 work in English?↓
The main interface is in French, but the tool works perfectly for projects in any language. Custom instructions and style descriptions can be written in English or French.
Are catalog products available in Quebec?↓
Yes. Our catalog consists of products directly from manufacturers and distributors serving the Quebec market. Every cabinet door, covering, and hardware piece you specify in a render is a real product you can order.

Technical and Privacy

Are my project photos confidential?↓
Project data is protected by application access controls, and files are encrypted at rest and in transit. Some historical media may be delivered through a confidential storage URL. A render appears in our marketing gallery only after your explicit consent and our approval.
Does Atelier 14 work on Mac and PC?↓
Yes. Atelier 14 is a web application that runs in your browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge). No installation required, and your work is automatically saved and accessible from any device.
Can I export a render in high resolution for printing?↓
Yes. Premium quality (4K) renders are suitable for large format printing. You can download your renders and use them in your presentations, portfolios, or printed documents.

Workflow and Collaboration

Can I present renders directly to my clients?↓
Yes. Atelier 14 includes a professional PDF presentation generator with before/after comparisons by room. You can share an interactive presentation link directly with your clients.
How do I share a render with my team?↓
The Studio and Enterprise plans include team collaboration. You can share your projects with members of your studio, and each designer can contribute to the same project with their own render history.
