# Facade Material Change Canonical page: https://fuser.studio/recipes/facade-material-changer Creator: @maggie Saved recipe example · version 2 Apply a reference material to a façade image while preserving the building’s architecture, geometry, lighting, and other design elements\. Header image: https://media.fuser.studio/96552c4e14d8cbef1247b56141fe314feebd14fddc3f0274243eb6d32909bc92.jpg ## Explore a Facade Material Change The saved example connects a façade image and a reference material to an output image showing the façade with the applied material\. It demonstrates the recipe’s intended input\-to\-output workflow\. ## Default inputs ### Facade Image Type: image [Facade Image]() ### Reference Material Type: image [Reference Material]() ## Saved outputs ### Facade with Applied Material Type: image [Facade with Applied Material]() ## Applications Use this recipe to explore material options across architecture design and presentation workflows\. ### Early Material Studies Test a reference material on an existing façade image while keeping the building’s architecture and geometry unchanged\. ### Facade Option Comparisons Create separate output images for different reference materials to compare possible façade treatments\. ### Renovation Concepts Visualize a potential material change on an existing building image without replacing its lighting or other design elements\. ### Client Presentation Drafts Prepare façade material alternatives that help communicate a proposed exterior direction using a familiar building image\. ### Design Review Discussions Use applied\-material images to focus reviews on the selected façade finish while retaining the underlying architectural design\. ### Material Selection Workflows Turn reference material images into façade studies that support conversations about which exterior treatment to explore further\. ## Frequently asked questions ### What does the Facade Material Changer do? It uses a façade image and a reference material image to create an output image with the selected façade material applied\. The building’s architecture, geometry, lighting, and other design elements are intended to remain preserved\. ### Who is this recipe for? It is useful for architecture and space\-design workflows that need to explore façade material options on an existing building image\. It can support early studies, design reviews, renovation concepts, and presentation drafts\. ### What images should I prepare? Prepare one façade image showing the building and one reference material image representing the material you want to apply\. The recipe uses both as its exposed image inputs\. ### Can I change the images used by the recipe? Yes\. In Fuser, you can change the exposed Facade Image and Reference Material inputs before using the recipe\. The saved page example shows the default connected inputs, not a new run with your images\. ### What does the output contain? The output is an image labeled Facade with Applied Material\. It is intended to show the selected material on the façade while preserving the building’s architecture, geometry, lighting, and other design elements\. ### What kinds of material changes are appropriate? Use a reference material image when you want to explore a different façade finish on the building shown in your façade image\. The recipe focuses on changing the selected façade material rather than changing the building’s architecture or geometry\. ### Does the saved example show my own building? No\. The preview represents a saved example with its saved façade image and reference material connected to the recipe output\. To work with your own design, log in to Fuser and replace those exposed inputs\. ## Explore Your Next Facade Material Bring a façade image and a reference material into Fuser to create an applied\-material study for your architecture workflow\.
