Full creative freedom.
Smart tools for enhanced artistry.
Use Smart Materials that adjust to any object to show realistic surface detail or wear and tear. Explore mask presets that adapt to any shape, and paint with efficient, dynamic tools.

The state-of-the-art viewport in Painter shows all your artistic decisions in real time. Iterate on complex materials with advanced lighting and shadows, making texturing even more creative and painless. You can even preview your model in the included path tracing mode.

In Painter, every action and stroke is recorded, and can be recomputed at any time. This means you can change the resolution of your project at any time without ever decreasing quality, or even modify existing paint strokes.

Power and usability for an excellent 3D painting experience.
Powerful paint engine
Paint using dynamic brushes, projection tools, or particles. Painter also supports Adobe Photoshop brush presets.

Smart Materials and Smart Masks
Apply realistic details, from subtle dust layers to signs of extreme wear and tear.

Advanced material creation
Reproduce real-life material behaviors such as subsurface scattering, sheen, anisotropy, or clear-coat. Preserve these properties when exporting.

Easy exports
Export to any game engine or renderer effortlessly. Create custom export presets to fit into any pipeline or workflow.

Automatic UVs
Automatic UVs ensure imported models don’t need any special preparation for texturing. Lay out UVs over multiple tiles to maintain high resolution.

VFX support
Painter supports multi-tile painting (UDIMs), Alembic, camera import, and Python scripting and is compliant with the VFX Reference Platform. It is also available on Linux.
