Paintify, Digital Paint for Blender

This handmade shader gives a unique painterly effect to any 3D model. Coupled with our collection of animated shadows, we give a hand-crafted and tactile feeling to any Blender creation, working live in Eevee or Cycles.

Paint Presets

While the Paintify set is completely modifiable, we have also created 9 Paint Presets and 5 Shadow Presets to help you get started. We also explain how you can adjust them as you wish to create your own unique paint. 

Once downloaded, you can easily access the Paintify set through Blender's Asset Browser so they're easily accessible when creating your own scene.

How to Use

We wanted this Paintify set to be as intuitive and user-friendly as possible. Simply position our .blend file into your Assets directory and all the effects will be ready for you to use on any Blender project. As simple as that!

Paintify is highly customisable, allowing for infinite variations across different features all with easy-to-use controllers helping you to achieve unique and previously unseen results
