Curvature on the Bake Texture Node Doesn’t work on version 1.0 at all. A hotfix needs to be made.

There is no longer a bake workspace, and baking textures had been turned into a node, and the node has only one color output with no vector input or any other additional inputs(Doesn’t Work).

My assumption is that you have to use 1 layer to create the curvature bake with multiple textures in the same material node but the problem in the bake texture node only has one output.

Occulsion(AO) works.

Additional Problems With Armorpaint in General:

  • Armorpaint Has no Stroke Stabilization(No Stroke Stabilization Addon Either)
  • The Android Verison Has a lazy version of Professional Line(like hipaint) and no Global jitter Correction. Desktop version has no professional line feature.
  • Terrible for low poly painting in general(the lines come out with low pixel resolution)
  • Very time consuming
  • Have to use Gimp along with Armorpaint to make crisp lines.
  • Painted lines don’t come out crisp.
  • No line tool
  • Fails in comparison to blender texture paint

Advantages of Armorpaint

  • Android, and IOS version
  • If your tablet supports palm rejection it works
  • User interface is simple and easy to learn
  • Can be used with a drawing pad or graphic pad
  • Node interface is simple and intuative.
  • Hardware and Software optimization is better than native vanilah blender
  • The only realworld advantage Armorpaint has over Blender texture paint is that there is a Android and IOS version

Please add more troubleshoot information to this forum topic for the further development of Armorpaint

I no longer see Armor Paint available on my Galaxy Tab 7 Plus. I was hoping to get v1.0 update, but didn’t. So I uninstall previous old version, then went back to Play Store to get Armor Paint and it wasn’t available for my device.

I was going to publish for google play store, but google forces developers to update apps for new android versions, and if your android OS is “out of date” than you can’t download the app unless you jailbreak your device or get the file from the a third-party or backed up your original app and exported it to a drive(even though I bought my drawing tablet last year; according to google play developer agreement my OS must be out of date even though my drawing tablet is only 1 year old). This is why I don’t publish anything for google as a developer. You could always root your device and spoof your model device for your drawing tablet and trick google playstore into believing it’s a different device. AS a consumer and developer myself I am no longer buying or even going to develop any thing for google to make commission off of me because of their user agreement(TBH).

Yeah, that sucks :frowning: I know that the price that I (and probably some other folks) paid to have it on Android, wasn’t much, but … do you happen to have pre-built apk, so I can just install it on my tablet?

I don’t blame you for asking motosep, but I am not going to under-mind the developer of Armorpaint on their own website.

I noticed that Armorpaint also has automatic radius unit function in version 1.0, and blender 5.0 and above does not.

Oh, I thought you were the dev :slight_smile:
