BLENDER Paint System
Blender users can now enhance their 3D painting workflow with "Paint System," a free add-on developed by 3D artist and tutorial creator Tawan Sunflower. This tool transforms Blender into a more intuitive painting platform, akin to Photoshop.
By leveraging Blender's node system, Paint System introduces features such as layer clipping, blend modes, and animatable opacity, streamlining the painting process on 3D models. It also supports custom brushes, allowing artists to easily add and switch between different brushes, enhancing the creative workflow.
Inspired by the painterly style of the animated series "Arcane," Sunflower aimed to make 3D art creation more intuitive and user-friendly. The add-on is compatible with Blender 4.1 and is available for free download on Gumroad. A tutorial video is available to guide users through the download, installation, and usage process.
For a visual demonstration and tutorial on using the Paint System add-on, you can watch the following video:
