Trumble
Trumble is a browser-based creative suite for game developers and artists working on texturing and painting. Its Texture tool paints PBR textures directly onto meshes in a 3D viewport, while Paint handles 2D work on alphas, masks and channels. Bake generates normals, ambient occlusion, curvature and other maps in the browser without an offline renderer. Texture packs can be exported for Unreal, Unity, Godot and Roblox. The Texture tool accepts OBJ, STL, FBX, glTF and GLB files, and meshes need proper UVs to be paintable. The suite includes hundreds of materials and textures, and can connect to Google Drive to autosave projects there rather than using Trumble account storage. It runs in modern browsers on Windows, macOS and Linux; no account is needed to get started. The product is in early access and receives regular improvements. Free includes current tools with workspace ads; paid plans start at $5/mo, with higher tiers adding options such as no ads and early access.
