The workspace — chipped paint, grime and a gold stripe

Screenshot

The TextureCraft workspace: the material library on the left, the 3D viewport and the 2D UV view of a material ball in chipped red paint with grime and a hand-painted gold stripe, and the texture set list, layer stack and brush properties on the right

02Highlights

What's inside.

  1. 01

    Familiar by design

    Texture sets, a layer stack with per-channel blending, masks and generators, smart materials, the tool shelf and the 3D and 2D views, where texture artists expect them.

  2. 02

    Paint across seams

    Brush stamps live on the 3D surface, so strokes flow across UV seams, and the camera's visibility keeps paint off the back of your model.

  3. 03

    Bake on the GPU

    Ambient occlusion, curvature, thickness and more, ray traced about 12× faster than on the CPU, from the model itself or a high-poly mesh.

  4. 04

    Fast at 8K

    A tiled, copy-on-write texel engine on every CPU core and a native viewport on Metal, Vulkan, DirectX 12 and WebGPU keep 8K texture sets responsive.

  5. 05

    Open formats

    glTF, FBX, COLLADA, USD, Alembic, OBJ, PLY and STL in. PNG, JPEG, TGA, TIFF, EXR and more out at 8, 16 or 32 bits, with UDIM tiles and engine presets.

  6. 06

    Agent-ready

    Every menu item and tool is a command, so the CLI, a JSON control channel and an MCP server can paint, bake and export the way a person does.
