Texture & mask painting
Paint on the model
Brush detail straight onto the mesh: brush modes, alpha stamps, and projection painting — for both the texture and the masks that place it.
- Brush & stamp modes
- Color-ID masks
- Cross-seam projection
Real-time PBR texturing, in your browser
Your texturing studio lives in a browser tab.
Import a mesh, paint and layer production-ready PBR materials in real time, then export clean map sets for Cinema 4D, Blender, Unreal, and Unity. No download, no drivers, no license — open a URL and you are texturing.
Free account, no install — open it in any browser on desktop, laptop, iPad, or phone, and painting is free forever.

The Mixos suite
Four apps. One studio.
Every surface job gets its own focused app — painting a model, mixing a tileable material, auto-texturing with AI, or sculpting form from scratch. They share one document, so work moves between them in a click.
Studio
3D texture painting
The full editor. Import a mesh and paint, layer, and mask production PBR materials directly on it — then export clean map sets for any engine.
Blend
Material mixer
Stack and height-blend PBR materials into a seamless, tileable surface — no mesh, no UVs, no setup. One click hands the stack to Studio.
Auto
AI auto-texture
Describe a look in one prompt and Auto textures your whole model — editable PBR maps and a textured GLB, projected over the real geometry.
Mold
3D sculpting
Sculpt organic form directly on the GPU — subdivide, push, pull, and smooth clay with pressure brushes, then hand the mesh to Studio to texture.

The toolkit
Paint, layer, and mask — the way you texture.
Brush detail right onto the mesh, stack blendable layers, and isolate them with masks. Pull in generated or library materials when you want a starting point.
Stack / blend / isolate
Mix layers & masks
Stack blendable layers and isolate them with masks. Mix in materials — metals, paint, stone, leather, wood, fabric — by dragging them onto the stack.
- Blendable layers
- Mask compositing
- Drag-in materials
Prompt to material, mask & brush
Generate with AI
Generate a whole 3D model from a prompt, then texture it — complete tiling PBR materials, seamless textures, weathering masks, brush tips, and decals, every channel editable — or import a photo, scan, or your own mesh.
- 3D model generator
- PBR material generator
- Masks, brushes & decals
Triplanar & tiling
Seamless projection on any mesh — no clean UVs required.
Smart Materials
One click lays down a full layered, pre-masked material.
Height Blend
Materials interlock by height — gravel beds into sand.
Edge wear & weathering
Procedural scratches, grime, and exposed-edge wear.
Mesh map baking
AO, curvature, thickness, and edge maps from your mesh.
Up to 4K export
Organized PBR map sets at production resolution.
Path-traced preview
Flip on Ray for a progressive path-traced render — bounced light, soft shadows, optional depth of field.
Clone tool
Stamp texture from one spot to another across the surface — full material, not just color.
Live Link to your DCC
The desktop app streams maps into Blender, Cinema 4D & Unreal as you paint.
Node materials
Build a material out of nodes.
Wire noise, warps, levels and blends into a graph and it authors every PBR channel at once, evaluated on your GPU as you drag a slider. Feed in your mesh's baked maps and the wear lands where the geometry says it should. Then publish the handful of parameters that matter as variables on the layer, so the finished material stays adjustable without reopening the graph.
- ~30 nodes
- Mesh maps as inputs
- Published settings
- It's just a layer
Path-traced preview
Path-traced preview.
The Ray toggle switches the viewport to a progressive path-traced render of the frame you're editing — bounced light, soft shadows, and glossy reflections across your whole layer stack. It refines in place while you tune quality, exposure and depth of field.
- Progressive — refines in place
- Fast / Balanced / High quality
- Physical depth of field
Ray · path-tracedLive Link · desktop app only
Live Link to Blender, C4D and Unreal.
In the free desktop app, Live Link sends your maps to Blender, Cinema 4D, or Unreal each time they change — no export, no upload. With Blender it's two-way: send a model over, texture it, and the maps come back to the same object.
- Desktop app only
- One-click plugin install
- Auto Sync on every change
- Two-way with Blender

Material library
Start from 2,600+ ready-made PBR materials.
Bricks, concrete, metal, wood, stone, fabric, leather and more — each a full PBR set. Drag one onto the stack, dial in tiling and roughness, or use it as a base to paint and weather over. Bring your own, too — drop in a material folder, or a whole library of them, and Mixos sorts the base color, normal, roughness, metallic and height maps by filename.

Create from anywhere
Your studio travels with you.
The same editor runs in a browser tab on whatever you're sitting at — a workstation at the studio, a laptop on the train, a Chromebook at school, or an iPad on the couch. Start on one, pick it up on another: your projects live in the cloud, not on one machine.
- Desktop
- Laptop
- Chromebook
- iPad
- Phone
Every surface needs a browser with WebGPU (Chrome, Edge, Arc, or Safari 18+). On iPad, Blend opens in its full desktop layout. AI Auto-Texture stays desktop-only — generation needs a desktop-class GPU — and Mold sculpting is included with paid plans.
Why browser-native
Everything a desktop texturing app does — minus the desktop app.
Same production-grade texturing, delivered through a URL: nothing to install, always the latest version, and it runs on any machine — without the license seat or the workstation it's chained to.
Mixos- Open a URL — texturing in seconds
- Runs on Mac, Windows, Linux, Chromebook — even iPad & phone
- Always the latest version, nothing to update
- Free to author in your browser — no install, no seat fees
- Hand off a link or a portable project file

The 3D editor renders with WebGPU — on a browser that doesn't support it the viewport won't start, so use a current Chrome, Edge, Arc, or Safari 18+ — including on iPad and recent phones. A connection is needed to load, sync, and generate.
Questions
Everything you might be wondering.
The honest answers to what artists ask before they switch.
Do I need to install anything?
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.)
Which 3D apps and engines does it work with?
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.
Is there a desktop app?
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.
How does a full 3D editor run in a tab?
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.
Can I texture on an iPad or phone?
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.
What is one-click Auto-Texture?
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.
What can I generate with AI?
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.
What are AI credits used for?
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.
Can I bring my own meshes and images?
Yes. Import your mesh (GLB, glTF, FBX, OBJ) to paint and bake on it, and bring photos or scans as material sources.
Is it free?
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.
