# Nano 🍌 Renderer-er V2

AI-powered **viewport rendering tool for Rhino 8 (macOS/Windows)** using **Google Gemini 2.5 Flash Image**.
The script captures your active Rhino viewport and generates a wide range of renderings (studio-quality, photo-realistic, stylized, etc) directly inside the Rhino workspace for quick visual exploration.

There are two viewport capture options available:

* **Nano_Banana_Renderer-er_2025.py: Automated clay conversion of the viewport.**
* **Nano_Banana_Renderer-er_2025_direct capture.py: Direct viewport capture with no conversion.**

* **Viewport Capture** – Removes gridlines, curves, and edges automatically.
* **Mood Board Support** – Add up to 4 style reference images.
* **Camera-Aware** – Automatically reads lens, field of view, and projection type.
* **Cost & Token Tracker** – Tracks session and lifetime Gemini API usage.
