ColorMinis is a 3D painting studio for generating, painting, playing with, and exporting models.
What ColorMinis is
ColorMinis is a 3D painting studio for generating, painting, playing with, and exporting models. Models can start from a text prompt, one reference image, or multiple reference views. Painting tools include brush, airbrush, dry brush, ink brush, fill, and precision masking. PBR materials can use metallic, matte, satin, glossy, or polished surface responses. The AI Brush blends selected generated texture details into manual painting and provides hue, saturation, value, hardness, size, and flow controls. Personally generated models export as textured GLB files, while artist-created library models cannot be exported. The library contains more than 800 fantasy, anime, tabletop, character, and collectible models. Painted saves can become paintball color-reveal games with power-ups. The app is free to download, but AI generation may require credits or separate purchases. Premium plans cost $5.99 a month or $49.99 a year and add the complete artist library, generated collections, premium content, and studio features. It supports Android, iOS, and macOS; Mac requires macOS 12.0 and an Apple M1 chip or later.
