The pricing page equates the 100 free credits to about 50 draws or about 5 HD downloads. That implies roughly 2 credits to generate a depth map and 20 to download it in HD, so the download, not the draw, is what empties the balance. A realistic free run is four finished files, or fewer if a design needs several draws.

The FAQ lists two ways to add free credits: inviting new users and posting promotional updates on social media, then asking support. Neither has a published rate. If you work in Blender, the plugin page lists 10 credits per model through the API, which it describes as half the web rate.

Large-resolution 16-bit depth maps appear only in the Ultimate plan list, alongside large-resolution text-to-image and a watermark-free 3D preview that uses no credits. Pro and Master list depth-map adjustment and pixel upscale but not 16-bit output. In the generator, Basic output is marked 2K and the Pro or VIP option 4K.

For STL files, the FAQ describes choosing the no-watermark preview option and then Download STL, or downloading a watermark-free depth map and loading it into the 3D sculpture panel. It does not say which plans can use that route or what it costs in credits.

Editorial assessment

A standard map on Pro is usually enough to judge a design for wood or acrylic, while coins, medals and jewelry with shallow detail are where the 16-bit maps on Ultimate matter. Confirm the bit depth of a downloaded file in your engraving software before committing to a year.

The FAQ says most grayscale or STL files can be used directly for machine engraving, but portraits and images with thin detail may need adjusting in the engraving software, and it does not promise full reproduction. Treat every map as a first pass that still needs a relief height, base and toolpath decision.

Input quality matters more than model choice. The FAQ suggests running HD restoration on low-resolution images, cropping empty margins, and splitting very detailed artwork into sections that are generated separately and joined in sculpting software.

• Sculpt Pro 1.5: marked for portraits and precise structure, 4K.
• Sculpt Pro: automatic background removal and stronger depth, 4K.
• Sculpt Basic: color images and speed, 1K.

While a subscription stays active, unused plan credits roll into the next period; the pricing FAQ says they are zeroed when the membership expires. Extra credit packs of $15, $35 or $90 never expire, which suits occasional users better than a plan they might cancel.

Changing plans adds the new credits immediately and moves the billing date to the latest subscription. Monthly plans can be cancelled from the Payment/Cancel tab, taking effect at the next billing cycle. The terms state that payments are final and that AI services are non-refundable except where the law requires otherwise.

Plans are priced in US dollars, but each card also prints an Original price in pounds, for example 30 pounds beside the $19 Pro plan and 300 pounds beside the yearly Pro rate. The page does not explain these figures, so read them as unexplained labels, not as a saving you receive.

The yearly toggle is labelled 17% off, while the printed monthly rates are 14% to 16% below the monthly plans. The yearly view shows credits billed yearly but no annual charge, and the homepage table says $19 buys 800 images, which does not match the 400-credit Pro plan. Check the total at checkout.

The FAQ allows commercial use of generated models, but you remain liable for the copyright of any image you upload. The terms let MODERNFOX LTD use prompts and output to run and improve the service and support research, including through human reviewers, and they prohibit uploading photos of other people without consent.

Generated images are deleted automatically after one month, so download finished maps and STL files promptly. The privacy policy says personal data is stored on servers in the United States and that uploaded images and prompts are not passed to its analytics partners. Access or erasure requests go to official@sculptok.com.

1. Note the credit balance before starting.
2. Generate one depth map and inspect it in the 3D preview.
3. Download the HD depth map and an STL using the no-watermark route from the FAQ.
4. Open both files in your engraving or CAM software and check bit depth, resolution and any visible watermark.
5. Record the credits used by the draw and by each download.

Accept a map whose raised areas follow the drawn lines, with no watermark and a relief usable at your planned depth. Reject inverted depth, broken outlines or a download that requires a paid plan. Leave the observed result blank until the exercise is run.

To turn a photo into a moving 3D parallax clip rather than a carving file, see Immersity AI. To create the source artwork first, compare Leonardo.Ai and Midjourney, then check their image rights before relief work.
