ArmorPaint is software for 3D PBR texture painting, with its development repository and manual available on GitHub.
Armorpaint
Paint physically based textures on 3D models with ArmorPaint, a 3D texture painting application.
About Armorpaint
ArmorPaint is a stand-alone application for physically based rendering (PBR) texture painting on 3D models. Users drag and drop a model into the program and see the results in the viewport as they paint. Painting uses node-based procedural materials and brushes, and textures can be baked from high-poly models and exported to disk as PBR maps. The homepage lists plugins for Blender, Unreal Engine, and Unity that integrate ArmorPaint with existing 3D software.
The homepage says ArmorPaint runs on Windows, Linux, macOS, iOS, and Android. On desktop it is described as portable, requiring no installation, with a download under 10MB. Neural node processing is stated to run locally on the user's device, and no internet connection is needed once AI models are downloaded. A minimum of 6GB of video memory is recommended. Sculpting is listed as in development, and 16K texture painting is described as requiring a high-end graphics card.
Key features
- Node-based procedural materials, fill layers, and brushes
- GPU-accelerated painting with up to 16K textures on high-end cards
- Hardware-accelerated ray-traced baking of texture maps for high-poly models
- Path-traced viewport rendering with Direct3D12, Vulkan, and Metal
- Live-link plugins for Blender, Unreal Engine, and Unity
- Create textures from text prompts or photos; extract PBR maps from photos
Best for: Artists who paint physically based textures on 3D models and want to work alongside Blender, Unreal Engine, or Unity.
