💯 50% More Bits

The Nilo community just crossed over 100,000 unique 3D models! To celebrate, we’re giving 50% More Bits to the free subscription and cutting all subscription prices in half until we hit 250,000 models!

Thank you for your continued support so far, we’re excited to see what you decide to make next with us, here’s to the next milestone!

🍌 Nano Banana Lite

We added a new image model to Idea Forge: Nano Banana Lite! It's a faster, cheaper option for generating and editing your 2D concepts. We also enabled the 🖼️ No Background option for this model by default.

You can still use the ⚙️ Gear icon any time you want to switch to a different AI Model.

❓Tooltips

We added helpful tooltip descriptions across Nilo! Hover over icons and options in the Builder Bag, Code Editor, Idea Forge, and Dev Settings to see what each one does with a bit more detail.

💡 Changes & Fixes

• Improved overall 3D model generation speed.

• Improved loading screens while creating a new World.

• Added Claude Opus 4.8, Claude Sonnet 4.6, and Gemini 3.1 Preview to the Editor panels.

• Grouped entities now get a smart default name based on what's inside, like Primitive Group or Mesh Group, ****instead of a generic Group label.

• Fixed an issue where the screen appears black on some devices.

• Fixed a few iOS usability issues related to zooming and framing.

• Fixed the Builder Bag panel overflowing off-screen on smaller displays.

• Fixed an issue where it was difficult to select objects in the World that were behind the Help Menu.

• Fixed Ctrl-P room previews not refreshing the World's thumbnail, and ensured thumbnails would only update if the owner of the World uses it.

• Fixed an issue where the Toolbar would overlap with other UI.

🙌🏻 Make it

We added a new Make It option to the home page of Nilo to smartly help you create what you want! Give it a prompt from a simple object to a Roblox clothing idea and you’ll be taken straight to the feature where it’s made in Nilo.

🧰 Toolbar

We added a new Toolbar along the bottom of the screen for faster access to the things you reach for most: Idea Forge, Roblox Avatar, and Export!

Select an object and hit Export to download it quickly as a GLB file, or just hit Export with nothing selected to export everything in your World at the same time.

🤸🏻 Roblox Workbench Improvements

We improved a ton of the features in Workbench:

• Added separate torso and legs upload buttons in Workbench so you can upload your own images to edit in Nilo easier.

• Roblox clothing textures created from Workbench now download at a higher quality resolution, and RBMX exporting fails less now.

• You can now link and unlink your Roblox account straight from your account page! You’ll also find your linked Discord account there too.

💡 Changes & Fixes

• Added drop zones in Idea Forge so its clear if an image is being used as an input for a prompt, a style, or to replace the existing image.

• Idea Forge now accepts images up to 50MB and shows a clear message when a file is too large, instead of a confusing permission error.

• Significantly reduced loading times when creating or joining a World.

• Removed the Remove Rig option for R15 characters, since it does not apply.

• Fixed rotation and position flicker when rigging or unrigging a character, and smoothed out character controls afterward.

• Fixed a small delay to use the Radial Menu after a model finishes generating.

• Fixed light transforms so rotation and the values shown in the Inspector Panel behave as expected, such as the spotlight properly aiming directly at the ground.

• Fixed a bug in Idea Forge which briefly loaded the wrong conversation when using the Edit 3D button on the Radial Menu.

✨ Edit 3D Models

We added a new edit option to generated 3D models! It’s been a highly requested feature to edit your 3D models after they are created.

You can do this by opening the radial menu on the object, selecting Edit 3D, and then prompting Idea Forge to refine your concept image before generating the model again using Update 3D.

🎁 More Nilo Rewards

Nilo Rewards now rewards you at least 250 Bits for linking your Discord account and joining the Nilo Community at https://discord.gg/playnilo ! Invite your friends to try Nilo out and be sure to login daily for some extra Bits to generate more objects.

🔨 In-Game Reporting

We’ve added some new reporting options into worlds and user profiles. We are committed to making Nilo a fun and safe environment for Nilonauts to enjoy creating by themselves or with others.

If you find violations of our community or creator conduct, make sure to use the 🛡️ Report icon to send in a report so we can help take care of it!

🤖 Gemini 3.5

We’ve upgraded our code generation model to Gemini 3.5! This replaces the previous 3.1 model and improves on prompt comprehension and speed. Give it a try and make some objects move with some simple prompts like “Float in place” or “Rotate slowly”.

🔉 Audio Categories

You can now categorize your audio files into Music or Sound Effects after they are uploaded in the Inspector Panel. We’ve also added a new Audio tab to the Environment Panel where you can adjust the volume level of these categories in your World.

You can also edit them further using the Primitive category in the Inspector Menu!

🤸🏻‍♂️ New Animations

We added a new animation generator, Cartwheel! You can use the radial menu on a rigged character, then use the + icon to generate new animations.

Use the ⚙️ gear icon to adjust the animation model you’re using and length of animation, or browse the library of existing animations.

You can check the progress of generation and further adjust your animations using Animation category in the Inspector Panel.

🎨 GPT Image 2

We added GPT Image 2 to Idea Forge! GPT Image 2 offers higher quality generation, similar to Nano Banana Pro. Use it to achieve some stylized images or upload your own images to edit further.

💰 Automatic Top-ups

We added the option to automatically top up your wallet if your Bit balance is low. On your accounts page, set the amount you want to top-up and keep creating without slowing down.

💡Changes & Fixes

When selecting a primitive object like a sphere or square, you can use the Primitive section in the Inspector Panel to change the properties like thickness, segments, and angle slices. Let us know what you want to see next with primitive objects!

🛠️ Code Editor

We added a few more options for AI Models in the Code Editor. You can use the ⚙️ Gear Icon to select GPT 5.4, Claude Opus 4.7, or Gemini 3.1 in the Code Editor. You can use some of these options without costing Bits for the first few times just to try it out. ✨
