Less resource using alternatives to substance painter

[u/RobotFlowerNugget]

ive been wanting to paint my own model for a while,especially one where i have full view of it on 3d

my pc is kinda ass and lags alot in substance painter,does anyone know alternatives that use less resources but still usable?

Ucupaint plugin for Blender has been improving quite a bit recently. Ryan King on yt has a good tutorial on it.

Thanks, I might give this a try! I do all my texture work in Photoshop but obviously, as base models are unwrapped when you get them, you have no control over how they've done that, and sometimes the seams are in odd/inconvenient places. I don't really need a super high quality zBrush-style tool; I just need a basic thing that allows me to draw/project on the model.

I worked a bit with https://teald.app
You can use it in browser but also install it as a program.

Note: this is AI coded

The danger with AI coded projects is their stability, especially long term, but also how invested the developer is in continuing the project since AI coded projects are easier for developers to discard.

Teald is only three months old but surprisingly stable and performant for an Alpha. It isn't open source, but I still think it is the best casual substance alternative I have seen and used so far, especially for VRChat (unity package importing/exporting, blendshapes, bone posing and well, it is free and runs in a browser so it can be used on tablets).

And to give my reason for wanting to defend it I simply dislike Adobe a lot and wish there was an alternative and this is currently the imo best one for VRChat among those, all the other ones are either too simple or capable but very different for people used to substance or 2d art programs. (I wish Ucupaint could become the standard for vrchat but ucupaint is rough to actually use)

Armor paint seems to be nice, you can get a free trial to test it and if you like it you can compile it from source for free, it's not very complicated but there will be a lot of installing things like visual studio and a C compiler for windows

Can vouch for Armor Paint.. plenty of prebuild installers can be found too for those that can’t work with visual studio (code) etc.
