What armorpaint does

Operates as a specialized software application for 3D physically based rendering (PBR) texture painting. Allows artists to paint directly onto 3D models and instantly preview the materials under realistic lighting. Developed completely in the open, giving users the ability to compile the software from source across multiple operating systems. Supports a wide array of platforms including Windows, Linux, macOS, Android, and iOS.

3D artists and game developers needing a robust tool for PBR texture painting. Software developers interested in graphics programming who want to study or contribute to an open-source 3D painting application.

3D texture painting: Paint materials directly onto 3D models in real time.
Physically based rendering: Provides realistic material previews matching industry standards.
Cross-platform compilation: Builds on Windows, Linux, macOS, iOS, and Android.
Open-source development: All development happens publicly, allowing anyone to compile the software.
WASM support: Can be compiled to WebAssembly for potential web-based execution.

Where teams use it

Creating game assets

Paint detailed, realistic textures on 3D models intended for game engines.

Learning texture painting

Utilize an open-source tool to practice and develop 3D painting skills.

Developing custom painting tools

Fork and modify the source code to add specialized texturing capabilities.

Mobile texturing

Compile and run the painting software on Android or iOS devices.

Getting started: git clone https://github.com/armory3d/armorpaint && cd armorpaint/paint

armorpaint

ArmorPaint is a software for 3D PBR texture painting - check out the manual.

Note 1: This repository is aimed at developers and may not be stable. Distributed binaries are paid to help with the project funding. All of the development is happening here in order to make it accessible to everyone. Thank you for support!

Note 2: If you are compiling git version of ArmorPaint, then you need to have a compiler (Visual Studio with clang tools - Windows, clang + dependencies - Linux, Xcode - macOS / iOS, Android Studio - Android) and git installed.
