Won’t even open on iPad 17

I love the pc version but the thing won’t even run on my iPad. If that gets fixed I’ll give it 5 stars

Pencil brush settings not working.

Pencil support MUST be up to date at all times for iOS/android no pencil support means projects can’t be done. Will change review after fix I go more in-depth on discord.

Buggy

doesn't feel complete or polished. not worth the 17.99 currently. Id like a refund

ignore dated reviews! ArmorPaint is THE ONE! 🙏

after exhaustively looking throughout the App Store for any software that comes close to what ArmorPaint does—the only considerable second, yet inadequate by comparison, remains Procreate—lacking support for PBR Textures. (i'm grateful enough for its 3D Model support in the first place tbh.)

i've been using this INCREDIBLE app for only a month or so now... and the rate of development the project is moving at has been truly heroic, as well as promising. investing into it now—mind you, while it's still going for a humble price—there's no doubt it will very well become thee standard for all-inclusive workspaces supporting 3D painting, PBR texturing, UV un/masking, etc.

the ONLY bug my *entry-level* [2021, 9th gen] iPad had trouble handling was semi-frequent crashing while executing multiple jobs; however, this was on a 64 GB model. after upgrading my physical storage, i haven't experienced any crashes thus far. to be clear: it's not even a Pro model.

concisely put: if you're looking to have a proper 3DCG workflow on your iPad, you will need a dedicated PBR applicator. ArmorPaint remains the only app capable of fulfilling this task, now in Alpha. support this indie dev, remain patient & pragmatic while in Alpha, then to enjoy having access to streamlined workflow all on a single device.

Great that this is still being updated

Great improvements on how navigating and move objects. There’s still issues where the app can’t reposition objects that are not placed in the center of the world, like Nomad. Also unnecessary complicated to start painting.

FAQ

What is ArmorPaint?

ArmorPaint is a 3D painting software designed for PBR texture painting. It allows you to import 3D models and paint them directly, with instant visual feedback in the viewport. The software utilizes a node-based system for creating procedural materials and brushes, and is heavily GPU-accelerated for performance.

What are the key features of ArmorPaint?

Key features include PBR texture painting, a node-based workflow for procedural materials and brushes, GPU acceleration for smooth 4K painting, instant baking of texture maps, and a path-traced viewport for true light simulation on supported iPads.

How much does ArmorPaint cost?

ArmorPaint is a paid application. The provided data indicates it does not have in-app purchases or ads, suggesting a one-time purchase model.

What are the system requirements for ArmorPaint?

ArmorPaint is designed for iPad and recommends Apple Pencil for the best experience, though mouse, keyboard, and pencil hover are also supported. Features like hardware-accelerated ray-traced baking and path-traced viewport rendering require M1 or newer, or A13 or newer chipsets on supported iPads.

What is the node-based workflow in ArmorPaint?

The node-based workflow in ArmorPaint allows for fast creation of materials and brushes. You can paint with fully procedural materials and build fill layers using material nodes. Brush nodes can be used to generate patterns and create procedural brushes, offering a flexible and powerful way to texture your models.
