Install

Download early access (launching soon). In Blender 4.2 or newer: Edit > Preferences > Get Extensions, open the menu at the top right, choose Install from Disk and pick the zip. Turn on Allow Online Access in Preferences > System. Press N in the 3D viewport and open the Partilock tab.

First render

Set up your camera as usual. Pick a preset (exterior or interior, day or dusk) and, for interiors, type the room. Click Render camera view. Your first render creates a key with 5 free renders. The result opens in the Image Editor and is saved in a partilock folder next to your .blend. Before / after switches between your viewport and the render.

Getting the best result

• Colours come from each material's Viewport Display colour, as you see them in Solid mode.
• Name glass materials "glass" (or give them transmission) and door objects "door". The drift check uses them.
• Name the ground, trees and cars ("ground", "tree", "car") so they aren't counted as the building.
• Use a 3:2, 16:9, 4:3 or 1:1 output size. The panel warns you about other shapes.

Drift check and free re-renders

Every render is compared with your model's silhouette and window and door positions, and a second AI check counts storeys, windows, doors and roof. A flagged render is retried once. If the retry is flagged too, you see it but you aren't charged. If a charged render still changed your building, click Changed my building? Re-render free. Partilock may add small fittings such as gutters or railings.

Your key

Copy key puts your licence key on the clipboard. On another computer, click Redeem key and paste it. Keep it private: anyone with it can spend your renders. Lost it? Email support@partilock.com from the address on your Stripe receipt.

What leaves your machine

For each render: the camera view image, a depth image and black-and-white masks of the building and its windows and doors. They go to our server and to our AI provider, fal.ai. We don't store your images. Nothing else from your .blend is sent. When Blender starts, the add-on asks our server for your credit balance.

Limits

An image only, not geometry. 10 renders a minute. Images up to 8 MB each.

Refunds

Unused renders within 14 days. See the refund policy.
