Why Architects Need More Than Topaz AI
Topaz AI is excellent for photo enhancement, but for architects, that's only a small part of the workflow.

Common questions about Armox vs Topaz AI
For architecture, yes. Armox understands materials, lighting, and perspective — it sharpens mullions differently than vegetation.
Yes. Use Armox for rendering and Topaz for video enhancement if needed. Most find Armox sufficient.
Armox produces clean, noise-free output since it generates from AI models rather than denoising photos.
Yes, but its real strength is rendering — transforming designs into photorealistic visualizations.
Yes. Armox provides rendering and enhancement in one workflow, reducing tool switching and handoff friction.
Yes. Teams use Armox outputs in client presentations, marketing assets, and production design workflows.
