Production texture workflow
A dedicated painting workspace that stays close to Blender.
A-Paint gives artists a focused environment for material painting while preserving familiar navigation, viewport feedback, and sync back to Blender.
Live Sync workflow
Paint in A-Paint. Review in Blender.
Send the scene to A-Paint, build texture layers, and push updates back to Blender for review. The workflow is designed for asset iteration, not file management.
- Scene and project sync for Blender assets
- Material and node data prepared for round-trip work
- Suitable for props, game assets, and stylized PBR work
Texture painting tools
Production tools without unnecessary overhead.
PBR painting
Work across color, roughness, metallic, normal, and mask channels with direct brush control and clear viewport feedback.
Layered materials
Combine paint layers, fill layers, masks, and procedural material data while keeping edits easy to inspect.
Native performance
AEngine and WGPU provide a lightweight native base for responsive texture work on modern Windows machines.
Why A-Paint
Built for artists who prefer ownership and a focused workflow.
A-Paint keeps the essentials visible: painting, layers, materials, and Blender sync. It avoids subscription lock-in and keeps the workflow approachable for small teams and independent artists.

Does Pro require a subscription?
No. Pro is offered as a perpetual license, with no monthly subscription required.
