Mixos Paint
Mixos Paint is a browser-based tool for painting layered PBR materials onto 3D models, with brushes, geometry-driven smart masks, and live viewport updates. Layers support blend modes, opacity, and separate controls for color, height, roughness, and metallic channels. Smart masks can generate effects such as edge wear, curvature, grime, and cavity. The app imports GLB, glTF, FBX, and OBJ models, and lists 2,669 ready-made PBR materials; users can import their own material libraries. Painting is free without a time limit, but exporting finished texture maps requires a paid plan or license. Paid exports include PBR maps up to 4K and presets for Blender, Unreal, Unity, Godot, Cinema 4D, Maya, and Houdini. The free desktop app's Live Link streams changing maps to Blender, Cinema 4D, and Unreal. Pro costs $8.99/mo, Max costs $17.99/mo, and a Pro license costs $99 once. Mixos says editing runs on the user's device, but it has no certifications or uptime guarantee.
