Magnific, now inside SketchUp
Magnific opens next to your SketchUp model. Frame the view, describe what you want, and get renders, materials, HDRI environments and full 3D models that land straight back in your model as materials, images and components. Same account and credits you use on magnific.com.
SketchUp 2024 or later · You'll need an active internet connection while generating.
Stay in your flow. We'll meet you there.
No views to export, no browser tab to babysit. Magnific opens next to your model, so every generation starts from the view you are already looking at and ends up back inside it.

Magnific's creative engine, in your model
Image Generator
Generate from a prompt, or from the current view: frame the model and Magnific uses it as the reference.
3D Model Generator
Build a textured model from a description or from the view, imported as a component on the ground where you are looking.
PBR Materials
Generate a PBR material from the view and apply it to the selected faces. Needs SketchUp 2025 or later.
HDRI Environments
Describe a sky or a place and Magnific sets it as the model's environment. Needs SketchUp 2025 or later.
Retexture & Remesh
Send a selected model to Magnific to retexture it, rebuild its topology, split it into parts or unwrap its UVs, and bring it back as a component.
Upscale & Relight
Push a render to 4K, relight it, expand it or remove its background, without leaving SketchUp.
Feed & Stock
Browse your creations and search stock photos, illustrations and 3D models from the panel, and place any result in the model.
More than a panel. A studio next to your model.

Magnific runs natively in the editors you already use.
FAQs
- SketchUp Pro and Studio 2024 or later, on Windows and macOS. PBR materials and HDRI environments need SketchUp 2025 or later. SketchUp for Web and SketchUp for iPad do not take extensions, so they are not supported.
- Magnific is added under Extensions > Magnific and as a Magnific toolbar button. It opens as a floating window you can resize and keep next to your model.
- Yes. Sign in from the panel with your existing Magnific account, or create one for free at magnific.com.
- Yes—the plugin runs on the same credits as the web platform. Everything you generate is also saved to your Magnific history. Plugins always consume credits from your account, even if you have a plan with unlimited features.
- Yes, you'll need an active internet connection while generating. Images land in your Magnific feed and in Downloads/Magnific/SketchUp; a material is applied to the selected faces, or placed as an image in front of the camera when nothing is selected, and 3D models are imported as components.
- Open Extension Manager and check that Magnific is listed and enabled. If SketchUp refused the file, make sure you are on SketchUp 2024 or later and that the .rbz comes from this page, then install it again with Install Extension.
- Yes. Commercial use is included on paid plans, under the same terms as content generated on magnific.com.
- Image generation from a prompt or the current view; upscaling, relighting, expanding, background removal, restyling and retouching; PBR materials and HDRI environments; and 3D models from text or from the view, plus retexturing, remeshing and UV unwrapping of your own geometry. It does not generate video or audio. The same generative engine you use on magnific.com, inside SketchUp.
