PixPatch AI: Fix Renders Instantly inside 3ds Max

Stop wasting precious time on minor re-renders or tedious Photoshop fixes.PixPatch AI connects 3ds Max directly to Google's world-class Gemini AI, allowing you to modify, enhance, and fix your renders in real-time without ever leaving your viewport. Whether you need to add people, swap materials, or fix a small glitch, PixPatch AI handles the heavy lifting directly from your Frame Buffer.

Why PixPatch AI?

In architectural visualization, a "minor" client change often means a costly re-render. PixPatch AI changes the workflow:

  • Add People Instantly: Forget hunting for cutouts. Mask an area and tell the AI to "add a stylish couple walking." Lighting, shadows, and blending are handled automatically.

  • Modify on the Fly: Change materials (e.g., "polished concrete floor") or add missing decor and props to make your scene feel alive.

  • Seamless VFB Workflow: Grab frames directly from Corona or V-Ray. Paint your mask and watch the AI do the work.

Render -> Paint -> Perfect. It's that simple.

The "Bring Your Own Key" (BYOK) Advantage

PixPatch AI is built for professionals who want full control and transparency. Instead of a high monthly subscription, we use the BYOK model:

  • No Monthly Subscription Fees: One-time purchase for the current version. Enjoy full features without worrying about recurring monthly bills from us.

  • Total Privacy: Your API Key is stored locally on your machine. Your data remains yours.

  • Direct-to-Provider Billing: Pay Google directly for only what you use. We take zero commission on API costs, ensuring you get the lowest possible price with no markups.
