ArmorPaint: An open source physically-based texture painting software

Lubos Lenco the author behind this is something of a one man army. They also write Armory 3D a game engine that integrates with Blender <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;armory3d.org&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;armory3d.org&#x2F;</a><p>Fun fact, ArmorPaint is written in haxe which is still a relatively niche language but well worth a look into for building cross-platform apps

Just a question about English, why is it &quot;physically based&quot;, as in &quot;physically based rendering&quot;, instead of &quot;physics based&quot;? To me it sounds like &quot;physically&quot; should be followed by some other word than &quot;based&quot;, like &quot;physically correct&quot;. But yet it&#x27;s used this way.

Amazing. I can see this project completely destroy substance painter in a couple of years.

Licensed as zlib&#x2F;png, but binaries are currently €16. It looks like the Unreal integration is being funded in part by a grant from Epic Games.<p>Interesting to see an open source project in this traditionally high-end boutique market. I think comparable tools include BodyPaint 3D ($995), Substance Painter ($150+), 3DCoat ($99+), and maybe ZBrush ($895) and Mudbox ($7-10 &#x2F; month).<p>When I see what textures look like, independent of the model, it&#x27;s hard to imagine creating them without some kind of painting interface like this.

It would be great to have VR support for something like this. The field of VR content creation is woefully sparse.

I like the idea of the material editor being part of the product. It would make a much better workflow for Substance; it gets repetitive exporting from Designer to Painter.

Congratulations to the team, it looks extremely impressive!<p>(Disclaimer: this isn&#x27;t an area I know anything about.)
