Features
The texturing tool you actually want
A production pipeline, not a toy. Lives inside your workflow.
⧉

Multi-channel output

Base Color, Roughness, Metallic, Normal, Height, Emissive, AO. Pick which maps — each gets an optimized AI prompt.

▭

UV-aware generation

Feed baked maps as reference. AI paints only inside UV islands — black stays untouched. Your layout, preserved.

◫

Non-destructive layers

Every generation creates a new Fill Layer on the correct channel. Compare, toggle, stack, delete.

★

Material presets

Rusted Iron. Worn Leather. Polished Marble. Sci-Fi Hull. One click, then refine with your words.

❐

Reference-driven

Browse a photo. AI matches its style, palette, and surface quality — projected onto your UV space.

⚙

Native Painter plugin

No browser tabs. No web apps. A dockable panel. Enable when needed, disable when done.

Quality grows with AI

The quality of generated textures is directly tied to AI image generation models. As AI improves — and it's improving fast — your textures get better too. What you see today is just the beginning.

Generated textures
What TexGenesis creates
Real outputs from real prompts. Each generated in seconds.
Process
Four steps. That's the workflow.
01

Prepare base texture

Bake mesh maps — AO, Position, Curvature. Load as UV reference so AI understands your geometry.

02

Write your prompt

"Weathered bronze with green patina" — or pick a preset. Add a reference photo if you have one.

03

Generate

Plugin sends prompt, UV map, and settings to AI. Production-quality PBR maps return in seconds.

04

Review and refine

Textures appear as Fill Layers. Toggle, adjust opacity, generate variants, paint on top manually.
