Texelizer

Texelizer offers you a suite of texture painting tools with support for layers, blending modes and masks to aid you in your retro-inspired texturing, enabling you to paint textures for your models in 3D and 2D viewports.

Note: Only diffuse textures and an unlit viewport are supported. If you need PBR or baking features, you’ll want to use some other program instead!

• Paint in real-time straight onto your imported 3D model in 3D viewport, or in 2D viewport when you need pixel-perfect accuracy. Note that Texelizer is designed for low-poly work — models under 5k tris should run fine.

• Bake AO, Curvature, Vertex Bloom, Top Light for your models easily via readily available buttons in the Layer Stack. Note that baking from high-poly to low-poly is NOT supported.

• Support for 3D models in .obj, .glb, .fbx formats. Support for up to 8 materials per project.

• Support for 16-512 working resolution texture sizes with square and non-square power of two dimensions supported. Export textures in .png, .tga, .bmp formats, as small as 8×8 to as large as 1024×1024 via nearest neighbor scaling. Export looping turntable animation of your textured model in .gif or .png formats.

• Layer Stack with support for masks, folders, blending modes, opacity per layer. Import images by drag-n-dropping.

• Import your own color palettes, apply quantization to your model, and apply optional dithering with multiple dithering styles available. Import your custom fonts, b&w brush tip alphas and pattern alphas via folders in AppData (Windows) or .config (Linux).

• Preview tiling on 2D viewport, useful for creating tiling environment textures.

• Add .jpg and .png images from your computer to the Layer Stack simply by dragging and dropping them onto the program (they will be resized to project resolution automatically).

• Symmetry painting on 2D viewport. No 3D symmetry painting at the moment — use mirrored UVs for symmetry!

• Apply FX Toggles to your layers: drop shadow, color tweak, bevel & emboss, gradient overlay, gradient map, gaussian blur, pattern fill.

• Transform any layer’s contents easily via a transform tool, accessible via Ctrl+T shortcut. Nudge layer contents with arrow keys.

• Customizable UI fonts and colors to suit your needs and moods.

• …and more! Such as: pen-tablet support, text tool, re-bindable hotkeys, autosaves, 30-step undo history, bilinear/low res/bloom preview for 3D viewport, turntable exporting, tri-planar transform inside 3D viewport, gradient editor…

All of the above in a small package under 50 megabytes, no online features.

Full List of Painting Tools:

• Pencil — Draw with a hard-edged pencil.

• Brush — Paint with a brush with configurable hardness and flow.

• Eraser — Erase pixels from the active layer.

• Fill — Single-click flood-fill by UV island, triangle face, color threshold, sub-mesh, or by material.

• Spray — Sprays full-opacity dots inside brush radius randomly.

• Blur — Like brush tool, but for blurring already painted layers.

• Smudge — Pushes paint around, finger-painting style.

• Jumble — Scrambles pixels inside the brush radius for a noise effect.

• Clone — Alt+click to set a source point, then paint elsewhere to copy from it.

• Eyedropper — Sample any color from your texture. Alt+click for fast sampling while painting.

• Mask — Like fill tool, but for masks. (Fill tool can still be used with masks as well).

• Marquee — Drag to make a rectangular selection that gates every other tool’s paint, or create new layers from the selection by copying or cutting via a right-click menu.

• Shape — Draw filled or outlined 2D shapes: rectangles, circles, pills, or lines, with optional pattern fills. Custom pattern fills supported

• Text — Type and transform live text via a gizmo and choose its color before committing it to pixels. Custom fonts supported.

• Gradient — Drag a linear, reflected, or radial gradient with multi-stop presets. Save your gradient presets to use later.
