Renders, Diagrams, Animation.
Explore advanced Nano Banana architecture workflows for diagrams, landscape visualization, floor plans, and interior moodboards.

March 9, 2026Last week we shared how to get the best out of Nano Banana 2.
This week I’m sharing how I create a full set of project visuals, including animations, in Fenestra, starting with Nano Banana 2.
Creating the starting images
First, I used Nano Banana 2 to imagine a set of visuals in a rainforest environment inspired by Malaysian rainforests.
Because this is pure ideation, I started with text to image, but you could also start from:
- sketches
- 3D model views
- existing renderings
You just need one starting image to begin with. Here are the images I generated and the one I selected.
Creating additional views
Next, I created a night version of the scene. This is useful because it gives us a start frame and end frame for video generation.
I also created an aerial view by simply prompting:
“Turn this image into an aerial view”
The prompts can be simple. Do not overthink them.
If you want something very specific you will need to dial in the prompt and it may take a few tries. Simple camera shifts like aerial views are usually easy.
At this point we now have three images:
- day
- night
- aerial
That gives us what we need to generate two video transitions.
Generating the videos
Using Video Generation in Fenestra, I only set:
- Start Frame
- End Frame
Everything else is handled by Seedance 1.0 Pro. No prompts are required here. Just select the start and end frame.
All renders in this example were generated at 720p.
Day to Night
Night to Aerial
Diagrams
Lastly, you can create brilliant massing diagrams from a simple prompt. I specifically didn't want text in this diagram but you're more than welcome to have the model detail your diagram with text and accept arrows, just add it to your prompt.
"turn this into a massing parti illustration showing the geometry on a white background - no text"

Fenestra 101: Sketch to Render, Virtual Staging and AI Editing for Architects & Interior Designers
In this introductory Fenestra webinar, we walk through the core tools architects and designers can use to turn early ideas into visual concepts. The session covers sketch to render workflows, virtual staging, adding furniture, editing images, removing elements and using AI to quickly explore design directions.
