Blender texture painting.

So, my question is really simple, and please consider i’m kind of a newbie to CG in general…will the blender texture painting system be improved? you know if you look at software like substance painter or mari or 3d coat, blender is kind of lacking something, but i think there is a lot of room for improvement. so, that’s it…i hope this question has not already being asked, sorry for bad english!

will the blender texture painting system be improved?
Yes it will be in the future, actual timings are unknown.

Andreas Esau is developing an addon which makes painting with layers possible.
Its not out yet, but you could already get an alpha version by contributing to his patreon.


This should add some photoshop like functionality.

And about vertex painting (interesting for sculpting I guess):
The review to the vertex painting proposals by Nathan Vollmer using Paint Bounding Volume Hierarchies is nearly done:

This should speed up vertex painting.
