Layer Painter is an incredible add-on to Blender developed by Joshua Knauber. Its simple layer system makes creating new materials faster and easier. This tool’s workflows are great for both PBR and stylized painting, as it allows users to quickly create complicated materials without the need to spend time setting up intricate nodes.

Joshua Knauber – Layer Painter Features

• Layer System: Material creation is simplified by allowing users to work with layers instead of complex node graphs like in Blender. This allows for intuitive working methods that significantly speed the material design process.
• PBR and Stylized Support: Primarily crafted to enhance efficiency for Physically Based Rendering (PBR), while at the same time permitting stylized painting techniques.
• Texture Filters: A range of filters used to manipulate textures is available. For instance, you can change hue or add pixelation and blurring effects to textures.
