A post‑render re‑rendering engine on Blender’s Rendering tab. It creates a new variant of your finished render while preserving composition, then lets you refine it with curated or custom presets.

Rendering tab → press N → “Nano Banana” panel. Paste your API key, choose a preset (or your own), and click “Process Image.”

Load an image, render a frame (F12) to get a Render Result, or open a Movie/Sequence and set the current frame. The add‑on processes the currently displayed image/frame.

Yes. The goal is a new variant of your render while keeping the original composition (objects, layout, camera).

Regular images, Render Result/Compositor (captures the visible result), and Movie/Sequence (captures the current frame as a still).

Click to set; “+” appends to your current prompt; search/sort are per tab. Enable “Bonus Presets” to reveal extra curated prompts.

Yes. Click “Save” in the Presets header. The name is taken from the beginning of your prompt. Delete via the trash icon.

Visual Styles are 12 curated reference images bundled with Nano Banana Studio. Each style carries a specific lighting, color palette, and atmosphere — for example, "Noir Portrait" gives you high-contrast black-and-white cinematic mood, while "Arcviz Daylight" applies warm architectural sunlight. When you select a style, the AI uses it as a visual guide alongside your text prompt, so your render gets the exact look you want without changing your original composition or objects. On first launch the default style is "Blender Classic", which delivers a clean photorealistic 3D render look.

Open the Visual Styles section in the Nano Banana panel (click the arrow to expand it). Once you select a style from the dropdown, a full-width panoramic preview of the reference image appears right inside the panel. This lets you see exactly what lighting, color, and atmosphere the style will apply — before you spend any time or API credits on rendering. You can collapse the section again when you're done to save sidebar space.

Yes. Simply select "No Style" from the Visual Styles dropdown. This tells the AI to rely solely on your text prompt with no style reference image, giving the model full creative freedom. You can switch between styles and "No Style" at any time — the setting is saved automatically and restored when you reopen Blender.
