ArmorPaint
ArmorPaint is a standalone, GPU-accelerated 3D painting software designed for physically-based rendering (PBR) workflows. It allows artists to create detailed textures and materials directly on 3D models in real-time, supporting features like layer-based painting, node-based material editing, and integration with game engines. The tool is optimized for high-performance rendering, making it suitable for game development, visual effects, and architectural visualization.
Developers should learn ArmorPaint when working on 3D projects that require custom texture creation or material design, such as in game development, VR/AR applications, or 3D animation. It is particularly useful for artists and technical artists who need a lightweight, real-time painting tool that supports PBR workflows and can export to formats like glTF or FBX for use in engines like Unity or Unreal Engine. Its GPU acceleration ensures smooth performance even with complex models and high-resolution textures.
