Introducing Wafer A new 3D texturing software focused on stylized, hand-painting and NPR assets. Built for extreme performance, compatibility and energy efficiency. Now available for iPad

Wafer 1.3.9 includes a performance update that unlocks the full potential of high-end systems. Here's 32K texture painting (64 × 4K UDIMs) running on a MacBook Air M5. Available now.

@SC_Squiggles Not decided yet as it is still in development. Depends on how many of the AI features for mesh prediction run on device, how much we manage to optimize and a tradeoff between quality and performance.

@sparseal Question, will CozyBlanket Pro still run efficiently on older gen Ipads like the Mini 5 or is one of the newer ones required?

CozyBlanket Pro suggests complex hole fills and bridge solutions that require multiple loop reroutes. You can draw guides at any time until you achieve the exact loop flow you need.

@javiersanchezcg The result can be controlled and fine tuned as much as you want, different use case than an automatic remesher. This demo is about guide responsivemes and speed, not trying to get "good topology"on a face.

Base mesh creation in under 60 seconds with CozyBlanket Pro's guided AI topology predictor, fully real-time. Currently in development.

I created this model in Maya and handpainted the texture in Wafer on my iPad, no normal map or fancy material stuff. The model in sketchfab - skfb.ly/pKVQY Concept by Frederik Jeppesen: artstation.com/artwork/lDznKe. #Wafer #Maya #gameart #handpainted @sparseal

Wafer 1.3 introduces order-independent transparency, per-layer alpha lock, hex color input, a faster asset browser, plus numerous bug fixes and improvements. Available now on Windows, macOS, and iPadOS.

CozyBlanket Pro enables effortless topology flow editing. Simply delete the area you want to rework and sketch a guide with your desired loop flow. Autocomplete suggestions automatically adapt to the target patch.

I modeled this sword in Maya, based on the excellent Chilled Sword concept by Arthur Malagon. I handpainted the texture in Substance Painter on my PC, and in Wafer on my iPad, no normal map or fancy material stuff. sketchfab.com/3d-models/chil… @sparseal #sword #gameart #wafer

Introducing CozyBlanket Pro A next-generation mesh optimization and cleanup toolkit, built from the ground up with AI-assisted retopology, cutting-edge UV tools, and powerful tool system to transform complex geometry into clean, efficient, production-ready assets.

@bookmarkerbot1 CozyBlanket Pro will also be available on PC and Mac on release.

@sparseal Put this on desktop, please. The market for people doing retopo on tablets is tiny compared to proffessionals on computers, and the program looks like such an improvement to retopo workflows. You're missing out on sales, we're missing out on productivity

@DaluzLuciano CozyBlanket Pro will also be available on PC and Mac on release.

@sparseal Is it only for IPAD? WHY GOD WHY???

@GoozeGames Standalone tool

@sparseal This looks like a lifesaver. Stand-alone tool, or plugin?

@WhereIsCharlie_ They are separate licenses. Not by choice but Apple forces all iOS/iPadOS apps to go through their App Store.

@sparseal license is shared between IOS and macOS version? Or needed to buy it on both devices?

Wafer is now available on macOS (Apple Silicon).

@dobunezumi06 We'll try to get a Japanese keyboard to debug this. Does the shortcut work if it is changed to any other key?

@sparseal Great software! It’s exactly what I needed. But I have a trouble: some keys won't register as shortcuts on a Japanese keyboard layout. For example, I can't set the "]" key for shrinking the brush size.

Wafer 1.2 for Windows is now available for purchase.

@miaru3d Stamp is available as a separate tool, not as a stroke model. You can scroll down the tool list or collapse the tool inspector to see all tools.

no Stamp mode for brushes alphas, ver important for MY workflow
