Versions:  v0.5.5

File Size: 1.6 MB

Download Tx Layer v0.5.5 for Blender on Windows, Mac, and Linux, a powerful texture layering add-on that brings non-destructive, layer-based texture painting workflows to Blender. Build complex textures by stacking layers with blend modes, masks, and filters—perfect for texture artists, game developers, and 3D artists who need flexible, editable texture creation .

Key Features of Tx Layer v0.5.5:

• Layer-Based Texturing: Stack texture layers with adjustable opacity, blend modes, and layer order
• Non-Destructive Editing: All layers remain editable at any time—no permanent changes to base textures
• Mask System: Add and edit layer masks for precise control over where textures appear
• Procedural Generators: Generate procedural textures—noise, gradients, patterns—as layers
• Adjustment Layers: Color balance, levels, curves, and hue/saturation adjustments
• Smart Materials: Combine multiple layers into reusable smart material presets
• Real-Time Preview: See texture updates instantly in the viewport
• Export Option: Flatten layers for export or maintain layer structure
• v0.5.5 Updates: Enhanced blend modes, improved performance, and compatibility with Blender 4.0+

Perfect For:

• Texture artists needing flexible, non-destructive workflows
• Game developers creating complex, layered materials
• 3D artists who want to experiment with texture combinations
• Anyone tired of permanent texture painting changes
• Studios requiring iterative texture development

System Requirements:

exture paint with a Layer Structure

Provides common layer operations in texture painting.
In addition to blend mode, opacity adjustment and basic layer operations, procedural textures and adjust layers are supported.

You can also create realistic textures by using multi channel (Color / Metallic / Roughness / Height).

Functions

When you create a layer, a group of nodes for the layer will be built in the shader node.
The node structure is automatically adjusted each time it is added or reordered from the add-on menu.

• Layer features
  • Add/Delete/Sort/Duplicate layers
  • Blend mode/Opacity
  • Multiple channel support
    (Color/Metallic/Roughness/Height/Normal)
  • Clipping mask

  • Export each layer
  • Export raw data image for each layer
• Auxiliary functions
  • Switching shading type
    (Emission/Diffuse/Each channel)
  • Batch loading of brush textures
  • Eyedropper tool to get the correct diffuse color
  • Shortcut for switching eraser circulation
• Assets
  • Basic brush texture included
  • Node groups
    (Edge Generator, Gradient Noise, etc.)

Dropper to get correct diffuse color

Samples the color of the final result minus lighting.

Blender’s built-in eyedropper tool only allows you to get the final result, including the colors or lighting of the one image being edited.
This add-on eyedropper tool allows you to get the final result of layer compositing without lighting shadows (keymap is Alt + C).

Improved brush workflow

Built-in brush textures for instant texture painting.

For detailed settings of the brush, I put together only frequently used items into a menu.

■ Sample File

Here is a sample blend file created in the video.
All the data created by the add-on is made of textures and nodes, so you can check it without the add-on.
