Question 1

How good does the output actually look?

Accepted Answer

Every render ships at 300 DPI on a transparent backdrop, so the perspective-accurate parallax sits cleanly over your own background. The 3D layer is composited — we never bake a stock ground behind your work — and the illusion holds up at standard print framings without rescaling artifacts. After the first pass, the Studio exposes depth, tilt, and lens controls on every job, so you can iterate until it matches your original instead of settling for one shot.

Question 2

How long does a render take?

Accepted Answer

A standard first-pass render finishes in under 90 seconds. The Studio stays usable in another tab while a job runs, so you can queue the next image or tweak settings on a previous render. Runtime scales with resolution and the number of control changes you re-render, but a single base render is fast enough for an active creative workflow.

Question 3

What formats can I export?

Accepted Answer

PNG with transparency is the workhorse — drop it straight into Photoshop, Procreate, or a print queue with no flattening. JPG is available for previews and lightweight shares. The print-ready 4K master ships cropped to the supported POD framings, so you can hand the file to Printful, Printify, or your own printer with no extra prep.

Question 4

What is your refund policy?

Accepted Answer

Paid plans are monthly with cancel-anytime billing. When you cancel, access continues through the current billing period and the next cycle is not renewed. Because SaaS is consumed as it is used, partial-month refunds are not issued once a period has started. If a one-off print fulfilled through a POD partner has a problem, the team will help route the request under the provider's policy.

Question 5

Will this work with my creative tools?

Accepted Answer

Yes. VFX.ai is built to fit workflows in Photoshop, Procreate, Illustrator, and Affinity — raster, vector, and concept-art pipelines all work the same way. Export a transparent PNG from your tool of choice, bring it into the Studio, then re-import the 300 DPI composite to finish the layout. The practical limit is a 25 MB upload, so very high-resolution source files may need to be flattened or downscaled first.

Question 6

Can VFX.ai help with concept art for an indie game?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Start with a sketch, moodboard, keyframe, or rough visual direction and use VFX.ai to explore a stronger presentation of the idea. It is especially useful for turning early concept art into perspective-rich visuals for pitch decks, internal reviews, store-page experiments, and conversations with collaborators before a full production asset exists.

Question 7

Can I use it for indie game character design?

Accepted Answer

VFX.ai can help you present character explorations with more depth and visual polish. Bring in silhouettes, turnarounds, costume studies, or finished character art, then adjust depth and lens treatment to compare directions. It complements your design process; it does not replace the underlying character-design decisions or your final production files.

Question 8

Does it support environments and world-building artwork?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Environment paintings, location thumbnails, prop sheets, and layered scene studies can become more dimensional presentation pieces. This is useful when you need to communicate a game world to a small team, test a visual mood, or make a portfolio and pitch image feel more immersive without rebuilding the scene in a 3D package.

Question 9

Can I create marketing assets for my indie game?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Export transparent PNGs or print-ready masters for pitch decks, social posts, press kits, creator outreach, event signage, and store-page experiments. You can keep your existing art direction intact while creating a consistent visual treatment across key art, announcement graphics, and other campaign assets.

Question 10

Which creative workflows are supported for indie game teams?

Accepted Answer

VFX.ai fits alongside familiar 2D workflows: sketching in Procreate, painting in Photoshop or Affinity, vector work in Illustrator, and collaborative review through exported PNG or JPG files. It works best as a fast presentation and iteration layer around the tools your team already uses, rather than asking a small studio to replace its entire pipeline.

Question 11

How should indie developers plan for iterations and revisions?

Accepted Answer

Plan for a quick first pass followed by focused revisions. Start with one representative image, decide what needs to change — depth, tilt, lens, framing, or source art — and use that result to set a repeatable direction for the rest of the project. VFX.ai is designed to make several small creative passes practical; it is not a promise that every rough input becomes a final game asset without art direction or review.
