Layer Painter is an addon for Blender 2.8x, that allows you to use a Layer-System for creating materials with painting and procedurals. The layers include masks, filters and much more.
I cant candidate to be a tester, since a ) my time zone is probably not sync; and b ) I dont have really much time for blender these days. Yet from time to time I’ll suggest some features if you keep us updated on the development.
There’s no link, because it’s not released yet.
If you want to get it as quickly as possible, I will need a few people to do some beta testing, otherwise it will take another month or so for the first release!
I tweeted you a few second ago (under New Media Supply) that I was interested to be a tester. Next week I still have holiday. After that I work 32 hrs/week.
Alright, so I had some annoying bugs to sort out, but that should all be fixed now:
I just added the options for saving textures and also included an auto save option.
The “Clear Textures” option removes all textures that are not used by a material from the blendfile and also removes unused textures from the cache folder, where the textures that are created or edited with the addon get saved.
“Save Textures” saves all textures which are used by materials.
While I’m at it I’m just going to explain all the addon pref options:
Reverse Layer order reverses the order in which the layers are displayed in the layer stack
-Use any workspace allows you to use the addon in whatever workspace you want to, otherwise it will only work in the one called “BATS”
-Auto save saves a texture when you finish editing it with the addon in texture paint mode
The only thing left to add is the baking options for the masks and the exporting of materials. I’m hoping to get that done this weekend, which is also when I’ll be asking people for testing!
Yeah I will try to record a few videos of maybe a workflow of texturing a model and maybe a feature overview on the weekend!
For the price I’m thinking around 15$, but that might change, depending on the feedback I get.
Hey Joshua,
I talked to you a little on Twitter about this (Spenser Williams). Glad to see you making progress! If you’re still in need of testers, I’d be happy to help. Also $15 sounds like a very fair price for the add-on to me! Keep up the good work!
