04 Result in Max

Full resolution saved to disk, preview scaled to your VFB window.

Results - made with Plugin X

What to expect

Plugin X enhances your own renders, it is not an image generator from nothing.
Many results are ready for presentations and finished images, and you decide what goes to the client. Because an AI model reinterprets your image, results differ between runs, and fine geometric detail, especially small or distant elements, is not always preserved, so check the details before you deliver. Reaching a result you are happy with can take a few generations, so factor that into your API budget.

FAQ

Can I use it commercially?

Yes. Subject to the EULA, applicable law and the terms governing the third-party services used with Plugin X.

How does the Gemini API billing and regional availability work?

The plugin uses a Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) model. You don’t need any consumer subscription like Gemini Advanced. You pay Google directly and only for what you actually use (about $0.13 per image at 1K/2K and about $0.24 at 4K).

Paid Account Required: You’ll need your own Gemini API key linked to an active billing account to access the paid tier and higher rate limits, including high-resolution generations (like 4K).

Data Privacy: According to Google’s current Gemini API terms, prompts, uploaded files and responses submitted through Paid Services are not used to improve Google’s products and are processed in accordance with Google’s applicable data processing terms. See the Gemini API Terms for details.

Regional Availability: Availability depends on your country. Check the official, up-to-date List of Available Regions.

Pricing Details: For exact per-image token costs, refer directly to the Google AI Studio Pricing Page.

Do I need a registered business to use Plugin X?

No. Plugin X is designed for professional work, including freelancers and people working on civil-law contracts. A registered business is not required.
Features that use the Gemini API are limited to professional or business purposes only, in line with Google’s own terms. Personal or consumer use of these features is not permitted. See the Gemini API Terms for details.

Is this a subscription or a one-time purchase?

One-time purchase. The license to use the purchased version is granted for an indefinite period. The purchase includes access to updates released by MONOKOLOR during the first 12 months.

Does it work with Corona Renderer?

V-Ray first. Corona version is on the radar, but please be patient — right now all focus is on making the V-Ray release rock-solid.

What if it doesn't work for me?

Email support@monokolor.pl – we’ll sort it out, usually within 24 hours.

Is my payment secure?

Yes. Checkout and payment processing are handled entirely by Polar, an established Merchant of Record used by thousands of software sellers. We never see or store your card details.
