# Instant Render

> Take a sketch to its next stage of finish, up to a realistic render, without writing a prompt.

Instant Render moves a sketch one stage closer to a finished render, with no prompt, and keeps the structure of your drawing.

Where to find it
**Insert** (+) > **Instant Render**. Studio: **Modify** tab

Works in
Workbench and Studio

Credits
[8, 24 or 32 per output](https://docs.vizcom.com/vizcom-credits.md#modify)

Header and back arrow (1), Target fidelity (2), Reference (3), Outputs (4), Render (5).

## Use Instant Render

**1. Add the block**

Drag the **Instant Render** tile from **Insert** (+) onto the canvas and connect your sketch.

![The Insert (+) menu open below the top toolbar, with Insert marked 1 and the Instant Render tile marked 2. The menu lists upload options, then tiles for Sketch, Instant Render, Make 3D, Animate, Modify, Variate, Extract, Try on and the legacy Style, Mix and Render blocks.](https://mintcdn.com/vizcom-c4034e9b/FHfxWMtC8cMIGOnx/images/find/insert-instant-render.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=FHfxWMtC8cMIGOnx\&q=85\&s=ea74d70cc3f74324f00a1acab07070a3)

Insert (+) (1) and the Instant Render tile (2).

**2. Choose a stage**

Pick a **Target fidelity** 2, or leave **Auto (next stage)**.

**3. Add a reference (optional)**

Add a **Style** image or **Color Palette** under **Reference** 3.

**4. Render**

Pick **Outputs** 4 and click **Render** 5.

In Studio, click **Instant Render** in the **Modify** tab, then **Generate**.

## Stages

| Stage | What you get |
| - | - |
| **Line Sketch** | Clean, even line work |
| **Color Blocking** | Flat color, no shading |
| **Highlights & Shadows** | Shading that shows form |
| **Realistic** | A photoreal render |

There's no prompt, **Mode** or **Resolution**: the output size follows the source image.

## Examples

One running shoe at each Target fidelity stage, from Line Sketch to Realistic.

Line sketch
Realistic

## Tips

* **Step through stages for control.** Fix the **Color Blocking** result in Studio before you go **Realistic**.
* **Clean the sketch first.** Notes, arrows and construction lines can end up in the render.
* **Finish with [Modify](https://docs.vizcom.com/tools/modify.md).** Select the render and press <kbd>Q</kbd> to change materials in words.

## Good to know

* **Credits:** 8 per output for a source up to 1,024 px on the long side, 24 up to 2,048 px, 32 above, on plans billed in credits.
* **The back arrow** 1 turns the block back into a Modify list and drops its settings.
* **Target fidelity isn't saved.** It resets to **Auto (next stage)** when you reload.
