Simple AI rendering Addon

After getting tired of the numerous commercial AI rendering services out there, I decided to create my own.

 

The goal is simplicity. The add-on captures a snapshot of your current 3D view when you click "Capture Current 3D". Simply enter your prompt below the captured image and click Send. Not satisfied with the result or want to make some adjustments? Just enter another prompt, and the AI will continue working on the last generated image.

 

The add-on is quite flexible and supports multiple AI engines, including Google's Nano Banana (Gemini), BFL Flux, or even your own locally hosted models through Forge (e.g., Stable Diffusion, Flux, and others).

 

The easiest way to get started is to create an account in Google AI Studio (https://aistudio.google.com/), generate an API key, purchase some credits, paste the API key into the settings dialog, and you're ready to render.

 

Best of all, the Addon is completely free and open source. The source code is available on GitHub: https://github.com/malamalca/BIMrender

Contributors are welcome!

 

Pre-built add-on releases can be found in the Releases subfolder (download the add-on from there).

Enjoy, and please send your feedback.

 

Operating system used: Windows

I had some problems with save as dialogue on mac. This is fixed with saving directly to a folder and opening folder after clicking Save button. Give it a try.

After clicking save button a filename opens in finder in default folder, without asking user to specify target destination folder

 

Download the latest version and give it a try.
