Shade Brush in action

HandpaintedWorkflow.

A native texturing pipeline inside Blockbench.

Paint with your own palette, then build editable material, edge, gradient, and occlusion passes without leaving Blockbench.

Ambient Occlusion

Give every overlap weight.

Drag to reveal generated contact and enclosure shading. The original painting stays untouched, and the result remains on its own editable layer.

Surface and Edge Presets

Build the material.
Finish the silhouette.

Surface Presets

Give the material a voice.

Apply reusable cloth, fur, wood, stone, or your own material style while keeping the colors already painted on the model.

Edge Presets

Make every break intentional.

Place highlights, chips, broken rims, and dark seams where the geometry supports them, then keep painting normally.

Short Fur

Organic surface breakup in one drag.

Wood Grain

Direction, detail, and variation under your control.

Surface variations

Same base. Different surface.

Swap the preset without repainting the model.

Form Gradient

Place. Tune. Apply.

Questions before access

The honest details.

When can I get Handpainted Workflow?

Handpainted Workflow 0.5.0-beta.2 is included in Creator Glove 0.1.0-beta.1. Active members install the private suite through their RuneFist account and can keep up to three Creator Glove-family authorizations in total.

Does it replace hand painting?

No. The workflow starts from artist-authored colors, value shapes, palettes, and presets. It speeds up repeatable texture passes while leaving focal details and final judgment to the artist.

Does it flatten my texture?

No. Generated passes are written as normal full-size Blockbench TextureLayers. Source layers are not overwritten, and each generation or regeneration is one native undoable edit.

Does it work with cubes and meshes?

Yes. The current workflow is built for cube, mesh, and mixed models, with documented limits around overlapping UVs and some open or non-manifold mesh edges.
