Open Painter brings layered 3D texturing into Blender

Field notes

The studio works as an editable material stack inside Blender rather than a fixed texture browser. Its examples break surfaces into components such as steel substrate, deep oxide, paint coat, and weathering, with 50 smart materials and 18 smart masks supplied as starting points. The page says the core painter runs offline without an account or subscription, while Materials+ provides a paid library of materials, alphas, and generators through Connect.
