Reskinit
How long does it take to generate a texture ?
Per-texture generation typically lands in the 15–45 second range, depending on resolution tier, prompt depth, how many sub-meshes are in the batch, and current Gemini API load. Pro 2048² / 4096² runs longer than Flash 512² / 1024².
Do I have control over text, logos, and specific patterns?
Yes — your prompt drives the output. For example, you can instruct the AI: “Generate a military supply crate with a digital camo pattern, featuring a large fictional corporate logo and the text 'PROPERTY OF NEXUS' painted in bold white stencils.” Like any current image-gen model, exact text rendering varies; longer or more complex strings may need a re-roll, and the 2048² / 4096² Pro tier produces noticeably cleaner text than the Flash tiers.
What is Cold-Start Mode?
Cold-Start is the Blender edition's headline feature: a workflow for texturing meshes that arrive with nothing but geometry and a basic UV unwrap — no materials, no shader graph, no manual baking, no Substance round-trip. Point ReskinIT at the unwrapped mesh and it automatically bakes Ambient Occlusion and curvature, sends those maps to the Gemini AI alongside your prompt, and ships back a fully textured, edge-aware model directly inside Blender. If your mesh has no UVs yet, Blender's one-click Smart UV Project (Tab → A → U → Smart UV Project) gets you ready in seconds.
Which Blender versions are supported?
Blender 3.6 and newer.
How much does it cost to run?
You pay Google for API usage at their rates. The add-on shows a per-call estimate as you work; your real billing is in your Google AI Studio account.
What's the difference between the AI and geometry PBR maps?
ReskinIT generates the albedo and emission. The geometry maps (AO, curvature, roughness, metallic, normal) are baked from your mesh — free, no API. The AI maps (normal, roughness, metallic) are experimental and work as starting points.
Can I use the generated textures commercially?
The textures are for use in your own games, films, and renders. Your rights to AI output are governed by Google's Gemini API terms — check the current terms. Don't prompt with protected IP (logos, trademarked characters).
Does my mesh need to be UV-unwrapped?
For most operations, yes — ReskinIT paints onto the UV layout. Unwrap with Edit Mode > A > U > Smart UV Project. Flat Cold Start and the geometry Normal are the only operations that run without UVs.
Do I need my own API key?
Yes. ReskinIT uses Google's Gemini API with a key you provide — get a free one at aistudio.google.com/apikey. You pay Google directly for usage; there's no subscription or markup.
