v0.8 - 2021.10
ArmorPaint 0.8 is now available on desktop, iPad and Android!
This release brings the ArmorPaint cloud, ray-traced rendering and baking, refined UI, decal layers, unlimited masking, edge wear materials and many more improvements to the painting experience. You can check the list below or examine the commit history on GitHub.
While many new features are added, the main focus of this release is the stability, bug fixing and even better performance. I have had an amazing time developing ArmorPaint 0.8 and can not wait to continue onto 0.9. Thank you for making the project thrive.
