Nano Banana Studio — AI Tools for Rendering in Blender

ATDIGIT in VSE


Overview

Nano Banana Studio is a post-render re-rendering engine for Blender's Rendering tab. It takes your finished render (or any image/frame), generates a new variant that preserves composition (same objects, layout, camera), and then lets you refine the look with curated or custom presets. Now featuring the new Nano Banana 2.1 flagship model, 12 Visual Styles, dual authentication (Google AI Studio & Vertex AI), and a collapsible panel UI. Supports regular images, Render Result, and Movie/Sequence (captures the current frame).

⚠️ Google Credentials Required (Direct Connection)

Nano Banana Studio connects directly from your workstation to Google's official cloud endpoints. It requires your own Billing-Enabled Google Gemini API Key (AI Studio) or Google Cloud Project ID (Vertex AI). This ensures your render data remains strictly private (not used for model training by Google) and provides the stability needed for up to 4K output. Free/Unbilled keys are not supported. API costs are paid directly to Google by each user; no third-party proxies or subscriptions are used.

Key Features

  • Five AI Models: Nano Banana 2.1 (flagship quality up to 4K), Nano Banana (Standard), Nano Banana 2 Lite (ultra-fast drafts), Nano Banana Pro (commercial work), and Nano Banana 2 (next-gen speed).
  • Dual Connection Modes: Google AI Studio (API Key) or Google Cloud Vertex AI (Project ID).
  • 12 Visual Styles: Curated style references (Blender Classic, Anime Soul, Arcviz Daylight, Noir Portrait, and more) that guide the AI—without changing your composition.
  • Resolution Control: Select 512px (fast), 1K, 2K, or 4K output.
  • Blender 5.2 & 5.1 Compatible: Tested and confirmed on Blender 4.2+, 5.1, and 5.2.
