Important Notes (Please Read)

In order to have a comfortable experience using ACPainter, please be careful of the following behaviors:

  1. Please avoid using related texture Painter tools at the same time, because related tools may use roughly the same but different program behaviors, and may interfere with each other, making ACPainter unable to obtain the expected behavior. If you must mix them, please keep an eye out for related anomalous behavior.

  2. For material nodes created by ACPainter, please do not make relevant changes through the ACPainter panel(unless you understand the relevant operating principles and risks), otherwise ACPainter may malfunction.

  3. In addition to the above points, ACPainter should be a very friendly and stable tool, I wish you a good experience.
