House CC · cladding comparison

Horizontal or vertical?

Same house, same view, two claddings. Left: horizontal weatherboard. Right: the identical render with only the boards turned vertical — camera, light, garden and shadows unchanged, so the boards are the only thing that differs.

AI design renders shown in full colour. The right-hand image of each pair is generated from the left-hand image with a single instruction: change the cladding, nothing else.
