Full comparisonCompare Models (select 4)
For Architecture & Exterior work—buildings, facades, streetscapes, and architectural visualization—image models need more than “pretty” output. You’re typically balancing structural accuracy (windows, mullions, symmetry), believable materials (glass, concrete, brick), lighting, and camera perspective.
Below is a practical comparison of Grok Imagine and Reve inside Influencer Studio, with a focus on exterior renders, concept massing, façade studies, and real-world details like signage and wayfinding.
Architecture & Exterior — Side-by-Side Results
Prompt
"A casual phone-shot influencer-style photo at golden hour: a woman in her mid‑20s with shoulder-length dark hair, wearing a beige trench over a white tee and jeans, stands on a city sidewalk in front of a striking modern glass-and-concrete building with strong leading lines and a dramatic upward angle; she’s holding an iced coffee and glancing near the camera like she’s mid–Instagram story. The building exterior dominates the frame (ArchDaily vibe), with warm sunlight hitting the façade and a blue sky fading into soft clouds, slightly imperfect handheld framing for an authentic street moment."

Grok Imagine Strengths
- Photorealistic exterior renders with strong material detail (glass reflections, stone/grain, metal panels)
- High-detail outputs that hold up well for façade close-ups and streetscape context shots
- Flexible image-to-image workflows for iterating on an existing render, photo, or sketch massing
- Creative compositions for architectural mood shots (golden hour, rain, night lighting) while retaining realism
- Better value for high-volume exploration at 4 credits per image
Reve Strengths
- Strong overall aesthetic polish for architectural hero shots and presentation-style visuals
- More reliable text rendering for exterior signage, storefront lettering, wayfinding, and building names
- Clean, design-forward outputs that can suit contemporary branding and marketing visuals
- Good for concept-driven exterior scenes where typography and graphic elements matter
- Works well when you need legible labels integrated into the environment (e.g., placards, banners)
Verdict
If your priority is photorealistic architectural visualization, iterative exterior studies, and cost-efficient volume generation, Grok Imagine is typically the better fit—especially for material realism and image-to-image refinement at 4 credits/image.
If your exterior concepts depend on accurate, legible text (signage, storefronts, branded facades) and a consistently polished look, Reve can be worth the higher price at 8 credits/image. Many teams use Grok Imagine for broad exploration, then switch to Reve when typography and final presentation details become critical.
