Blender add-on bringing layered material creation with painting, procedurals, masks, filters and baking.

What Layer Painter does

Layer Painter introduces a layer system for building materials in Blender, requiring Blender 2.82 or later. It mixes painting and procedural content with masks, filters and baking, and was designed around a PBR workflow while also supporting stylized painting.

Layers can be added, moved and grouped, with control over channel visibility, blending and opacity. They use Principled BSDF channels fed by values, textures or node groups. Masks can be hand-painted, baked or procedural, including custom node group masks, and filters adjust properties. Texture artists work in a familiar way.

Key features

  • Layer stack with grouping and blend modes
  • Layers based on Principled BSDF channels
  • Painted, baked and procedural masks
  • Filters and baking
