As a 2d and 3d artist, one of the features that got me to try Krita was the wrap feature. The greatest tool I’ve ever used for creating seamless repeating patterns and textures. And to view it tiled in real-time is such a fantastic feature. But what kept me using it was the superior (at least to me)…

Yeah that’s a great step towards marrying the two programs.

+1 for this <3 The 3D industry needs a freely licensed painting software thats actually good & comprehensive. Armorpaint is pretty much the only open source “painting” software that comes to mind - but it lacks far too many features to be considerable as say a substance painter competitor

:slight_smile: Hello @WillyWonka and welcome to the forum! If the industry needs this so urgently and wants Krita to be the tool that closes the gap, then this industry should think about supporting the development with substantial funding. Machines that are well lubricated do much more often what …

[image] EyeOdin: Problem is Qt6 killed alot of stuff that is essencial for Krita so I donno when that will happen or how. Could you explain this? Anyways, one of Blender’s strategic targets for 2022 is texturing. There have been a couple proof of concepts vertex painting builds lately and th…

[image] Hologram: Could you explain this? you can read this and the previous article about it. https://valdyas.org/fading/software/krita-qt-and-opengl-again/ Even so I doubt that. you can’t compare a hand painted texture to a procedural one. it is just two different workflows for two differ…

So how would you expect Krita to fullfill this role? Do you imagine that there will be a 3D workspace? Or do you imagine painting on a 3D model, which actually paints on a 2D UV map instead behind the scenes?

The textures has to be somehow projectable to UV space. Otherwise people could just do a render in any 3D software, export to Krita and paint on that and call it a day (which Im sure a lot of people do already) Whats happening under the hood is probably best decided by someone who can figure out a …

I would imagine it to come to be in one of two ways. A new layer that you could load a file or a tiny docker with those options and display. Importing 3d objects moving, rotating and basic rendering them will become easy with pyqt6, project paint on objects I am not as sure. But I think it would b…

[image] EyeOdin: And other paid 2d applications are already doing this now and they just paint too… So the idea is not niche! Photoshop recently got an update for its 3d workspace, it’s now better than ever. Wait, no, it’s gone. Reading about all the issues with Qt makes me wonder how eager …

3d layers disappeared. What? It must be a graphical card thing? That option dissapears if there is some issue ussually. I have not seen anything about Qt7 yet. That is a bit sad then. Yeah with Blender you never really know. After I know how to paint some artwork I am going back to Blender again. …
