Transform any 3D render into a hand-painted work of art with Pojo's Painterly Compositing: a powerful compositor node group that applies authentic brush stroke textures directly within Blender.
This tool works by intelligently displacing your image and its bloom based on artistic texture maps, creating the illusion of genuine brushwork. The result? Renders that look like they were created with physical media—oil paints, acrylics, or mixed media.
Key Features:
-
Four Brush Stroke Types:
Brush Stroke – Directional, sweeping brush textures
Pollock – Chaotic scratches and paint splatter for energetic, abstract energy
Splatter – Organic paint splat effects for a loose, wet-media feel
Custom – Import your own paint textures for complete artistic freedom
Independent Displacement Channels: The base image and bloom/glare are displaced separately, allowing light to scatter and break apart naturally across your brush strokes.
Normal-Aware Bending: Strokes realistically follow your scene's surface normals, wrapping around forms just like real brushwork.
Mask Control: Isolate the painterly effect using any mask input—cryptomatte, depth maps, or hand-painted masks. Paint distortion exactly where you want it.
Animation Ready: Watch your brush strokes evolve, shift, and dance across the frame over time.
Requirements: Blender 5.0 or later (Compositor workspace)
