Texture Paint Champ (FREE Texture Painting Tool for Unreal Engine 5)
🕑 Added 2023-12-02 20:03:22 +0000 UTC*** Texture Paint Champ has been updated to v1.1. Please see the README.txt in the downloaded zip file for more details ***
Texture Paint Champ is a completely FREE in-editor painting tool for UE5 that allows you to paint directly onto a static mesh to update your material’s textures without needing to export to other programs like substance painter, Quixel Mixer etc. This makes it perfect for easily adding dirt, wear and tear, recoloring parts of your object, baking decals/graphics into the texture, painting masks etc.
NOTE - I don't want any money for this tool, but I put a ton of work into it so if you love it and would be so kind, please share the link to this page with your social networks so more people can discover it. Huge thanks!

SUPPORT:
- This tool is FREE so doesn't come with formal support. However, I've recorded a handful of tutorials that should cover all of the fundamentals of Texture Paint Champ. You can see the playlist here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQSzNwc3QR-rYsn5bP6bgoZkdjcpwbGSU.
- While I can't commit to formal support/response, if you get really stuck or find any critical bugs, you can try contacting me at metaldonutgames@gmail.com.
