Your texturing studio lives in a browser tab.

No. Mixos runs entirely in your browser — open the editor and you are texturing. No download, no drivers, no license server. (If you want a native app anyway, there's a free desktop version too.)

Any of them. You export standard PBR map sets — base color, normal, roughness, metallic, height, and opacity — plus a glTF (.glb) and baked maps like AO and curvature, so they drop straight into Cinema 4D, Blender, Unreal, Unity, Godot, Houdini, Maya, and any renderer. The free desktop app goes further with a Live Link that streams your maps into Blender, Cinema 4D, or Unreal while you paint — no export loop at all.

Yes — Mixos for Mac is a free download (Windows is coming soon). It's the same live editor in a native shell that lifts the browser's limits: bakes on every core, native ML inference, full offline support, and the Live Link to Blender, Cinema 4D, and Unreal. One account covers the app and any browser.

WebGPU, the modern browser graphics API, gives Mixos desktop-class PBR rendering and GPU compositing — nothing to install, no compromise on the preview. There's even a progressive path-traced preview mode (the Ray toggle) for true bounced light and soft shadows, right in the tab.

Yes. Studio and the Mold sculpt tool run on iPad and phones with a touch-first layout — paint or sculpt with a finger or stylus while the panels reflow into slide-up sheets — and the Blend material mixer runs on phones too. You just need a browser with WebGPU (Safari 18+ on iPad and iPhone, or Chrome). Only AI Auto-Texture stays desktop-only, since generation needs a desktop-class GPU.

Describe a look in plain language and Mixos textures your whole imported mesh at once — rendering it from several angles, generating consistent materials, and projecting them back onto your UVs. Then you paint and refine on top.

From a text prompt: whole 3D models (textured, UV-unwrapped meshes you can paint on immediately), complete tiling PBR materials (real base color, normal, roughness, metallic, and height maps), seamless textures, grayscale weathering masks, alpha brush tips, and decals — plus full-mesh Auto-Texture. Every plan can use the generators; Pro and Max also unlock 2K material generation and the two highest-fidelity 3D generators.

Only AI generation spends credits. A texture, weathering mask, brush, or decal is 1 credit; a full PBR material or an Auto-Texture pass costs a couple, and native 2K materials a little more. Generating a 3D model is the priciest at 4-16 credits depending on the generator, since 3D costs us several times what an image does. Everything else in the editor — painting, layering, masking, baking, and live preview — is always free and never touches your credits. A free account gets a one-time trial pool; Pro and Max refresh a larger pool every month.

Yes. Import your mesh (GLB, glTF, FBX, OBJ) to paint and bake on it, and bring photos or scans as material sources.

It survives. Send a textured Studio project back to Mold, reshape the base, and the texture returns byte-identical — Mixos carries the UV mapping across the trip rather than re-projecting your paint onto the new surface, so nothing is resampled and quality doesn't decay however many times you go back and forth. Most tools have to reproject here, which loses a little each trip; Substance Painter can't reapply 3D-view layers to a changed mesh at all. This works for multi-part models too, each part coming home on its own. If you re-unwrap the model in Studio while the sculpt is out, or change its topology so far that the old mapping no longer describes it, Mixos rebuilds the project instead — and duplicates your original first, so the texturing is never lost either way.

Yes — open the editor and texture for free, and a free account includes trial credits for the AI generators. Paid plans unlock high-resolution export, the project library, 2K material generation, and a refreshing monthly pool of AI credits.
