Quick answers
What is armorpaint?
An open-source software tool dedicated to painting PBR textures onto 3D models.
What does armorpaint do?
ArmorPaint is a standalone software application designed specifically for 3D physically based rendering (PBR) texture painting. It allows artists and developers to import 3D models and paint complex, multi-channel materials directly onto the mesh surfaces in real-time. The tool is developed openly on GitHub, where users can access the source code and compile it themselves across multiple platforms including Windows, Linux, macOS, iOS, and Android. While pre-compiled binaries are sold to fund development, the source code remains freely accessible for anyone with the necessary compiler toolchains.
Who is armorpaint for?
3D artists, game developers, and technical artists who need a dedicated PBR texture painting tool. The source repository is specifically aimed at developers comfortable with compiling C++ code using tools like Visual Studio or Xcode.
How do I get started with armorpaint?
git clone https://github.com/armory3d/armorpaint && cd armorpaint/paint
How popular is armorpaint on GitHub?
armory3d/armorpaint has 5,413 stars and 642 forks on GitHub, and gained 38 stars in the last 7 days.
What license does armorpaint use?
armory3d/armorpaint is released under the Other license.

PBR texture painting: Paints physically based rendering materials directly onto 3D models in real-time.
Cross-platform compilation: Compiles from source on Windows, Linux, macOS, iOS, and Android using platform-specific toolchains.
Node-based workflow: Utilizes a node graph system for creating complex procedural materials and brushes.
Real-time rendering: Renders texture updates instantly on the 3D viewport during the painting process.
Open-source development: Provides full access to the source code for community modification and custom compilation.
Where teams use it
Game asset creation
Texture 3D models for use in modern game engines that require physically based rendering materials.
Procedural texturing
Build complex, non-destructive materials using the integrated node graph.
Mobile 3D painting
Compile and run the application on Android or iOS devices for texture painting on the go.
Custom pipeline integration
Modify the open-source codebase to integrate the texturing tool directly into proprietary studio pipelines.
Getting started: git clone https://github.com/armory3d/armorpaint && cd armorpaint/paint
