What's New in Wax
1.1.0
October 21, 2026
Paint in layers with independent blend modes, opacity and visibility. • Edit your original paint in the Base layer. • Use Alpha Lock to recolor without changing coverage. • Hide and reveal paint with non-destructive layer masks. • Sample paint with the eyedropper, type opacity percentages, and drag layers to reorder. • Merge Down or Merge Visible; hidden layers are kept by Merge Visible. • Protect thin models with visible-surface painting. • Learn the workflow in Help → Learn paint layers. Layers and masks are saved in Wax projects. These tools are free. Painting uses vertex colors; subdivide for finer detail. Projects saved with this update require an updated version of Wax.
