Is the editor really free?
Yes. Generate, layer, paint, mask, bake, and preview at full quality without paying. All it takes is a free account — that's what keeps your projects and libraries with you across devices. You pay to take the files out and to lift the AI limits.
What are AI credits?
Credits are what AI generation spends — nothing else in the editor touches them. What an op costs tracks what it costs us to run, so the cheap ones stay cheap: a decal, weathering mask, or brush tip is 1 credit; a seamless texture is 4; a full PBR material is 3 (6 at 2K); a full-mesh Auto-Texture is 5; and generating a 3D model is the most expensive at 4–16 credits depending on which generator you pick, because 3D generation costs us several times what an image does. The editor itself — painting, layering, masking, baking, and live preview — is always free. A free account gets a one-time trial pool; Pro and Max refresh a larger pool every month.
What if I run out of AI credits?
On Pro or Max your allowance refreshes on the first of the month, and you can move up a tier at any time for a bigger one — Max is 150 a month, and per credit it is the cheapest AI we sell. On the free plan the trial pool is one-time, so the way to keep generating is a plan. Everything in the editor that isn't AI generation — painting, layering, masking, baking, sculpting, live preview — keeps working at full quality with no credits at all. Perpetual licenses are the exception: a license covers export rather than AI, so it has no allowance to refresh, and license holders can buy 25-credit packs one at a time instead.
What can I generate with AI?
From a text prompt: whole 3D models (textured, UV-unwrapped meshes that drop straight into the editor to paint), complete tiling PBR materials (real base color, normal, roughness, metallic, and height maps), seamless textures, grayscale weathering masks, alpha brush tips, and decals — plus full-mesh Auto-Texture. Every plan can use the generators; Pro and Max also unlock 2K material generation, the two highest-fidelity 3D generators, and a larger monthly credit pool.
How much does generating a 3D model cost?
It depends on the generator — the picker shows the cost next to each one before you spend anything. They run from 4–16 credits, and the two highest-fidelity generators are Pro and Max only. Every model arrives UV-unwrapped with its PBR maps as editable layers, and is saved to your Models library.
What is the Community library?
A shared library of AI generations made by free-plan users. On the free plan, the materials, textures, decals, weathering masks, and 3D models you generate are added to it anonymously — you always keep your own copy, your name is never shown, and anything inappropriate can be reported and removed. Pro and Max generations are private and never published.
What can a free account export?
Production export is a paid feature. A free account can generate, paint, sculpt, bake and save, and Studio can save a 512px watermarked render preview. Exporting PBR map sets, models, or clean full-resolution renders requires Pro, Max, Team, or a perpetual licence. The perpetual licence unlocks 4K watermark-free export in supported apps without a subscription; there is no per-project or single-export purchase.
What happens to my projects if I cancel?
Nothing is deleted. Your local projects always stay on your device; cloud backups remain and unlock again the moment you resubscribe.
Will my files ever stop opening if I stop paying?
No. The editor is free, so your projects always open — there's no version treadmill where files saved in a newer release lock you out of an older one, and no subscription lapse that turns the app off. Paying gates export and AI credits, never access to your own work.
Do you train AI on my work?
Never. Your projects, textures, models, and prompts are not used to train AI models — ours or anyone else's. AI generation sends your prompt to the provider solely to produce your result, under API terms that don't permit training on it. (On the free plan, AI generations are shared to the Community library — that's visible sharing you can see and report, not model training.)
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Monthly plans can be canceled at any time and stay active through the period you paid for. Annual plans are billed once a year at the discounted rate.
