TEXTURE PAINTING / SMART MATERIALS / PBR WORKFLOW
Create surfaces worth
looking closer at.
Meet TextPainter — a focused texture-painting environment for Blender, bringing painting tools, a smart material shelf, PBR channels, and layered controls into one workspace.

BUILT FOR TEXTURE ARTISTS
A dedicated place to build better materials.
No disconnected panels. No endless tab switching. TextPainter puts the resources, painting viewport, texture preview, layers and material properties into a cohesive working layout.
Actual interface capture: TextPainter 0.4.4
01 / SMART MATERIALS
Start with character. Make it yours.
Explore a visual collection of smart materials. Create worn leather, aged metals, chipped painted finishes, weathered stone, and other compelling surfaces, then refine individual contributions through the available controls.

02 / LAYER WORKFLOW
Complex surfaces. Clear structure.
Develop textures in passes instead of committing every change at once. Organize your work using layers and groups, then tune opacity, blending and individual material channels from the dedicated layer panel.
Screenshot-based visual — actual layer stack and material properties.
03 / PBR CHANNELS
Texture beyond base color.
The TextPainter workspace exposes a set of PBR-oriented controls, including Base Color, Roughness, Metallic, Normal, Height, Ambient Occlusion, Emission and mask-oriented options. Move from simple color to more expressive surface response.

04 / BRUSH & SURFACE TOOLS
Get hands-on with every detail.
Paint and smudge tools are immediately accessible in the workspace, with brush size and flow controls. The material properties panel also exposes procedural pattern settings such as scale, seed and projection to help tailor surface detail.
Fine control, one workspace. Painting tools, material channels and procedural detail settings stay close to the surface you are creating.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
A few things worth knowing.
Is TextPainter a standalone application?
No. TextPainter is a Blender add-on with its own focused workspace.
Can I work with more than color?
The interface includes controls for multiple PBR-related channels, in addition to the base color workflow.
Does it include a material library?
The Resources shelf displays a collection of smart material presets, including weathered, painted and leather-inspired surfaces.
Where do I find compatibility and supported exports?
Check the current version information and product Documentation before purchasing; available output details can vary by release.
