    In our new video, Martin Klekner explores what are the pros and cons of the two free texturing solutions, Armor Paint and Quixel Mixer, compared to Substance Painter. Are they as good as, or in some cases even better than Substance Painter? Let's find out!

    Thanks Martin Klekner for those alternatives. I knew of mixer but didn't really find it as flexible as I wanted. But armorpaint really looks promising, mostly for small-medium scale works and integration in blender. I'm a bit concerned about how many time it seems to have crash during your test; but well, I'll see for myself.

    Oh yay this is so cool to find there are alternatives to substance painter! I'm so over adobe subscription based products - Can't wait to use armor paint - the fact it integrates with blender is superrrr!

    I've been trying armorpainter this afternoon, it crashed about as much times as I launched it. So I still don't get what I'm doing wrong but the prospect are interesting.
