Wafer

What Wafer is

Wafer is 3D texture-painting software for stylized, hand-painted, and non-photorealistic assets. Its brushes, lasso clips, gradients, wet painting, and blur tools work directly on 3D geometry. A non-destructive layer system provides paint and fill layers, editable masks, blend modes, and opacity controls. Artists can use 2D or 3D symmetry with independently configurable pivots, paint across multiple PBR channels, or define custom channel layouts for NPR and stylized shaders. Projects can contain multiple meshes, materials, and texture sets, with configurable channel packing for export. The integrated asset browser includes stencils, triplanar textures, brush alphas, HDRIs, decals, and stamps. Sparseal says Wafer supports up to 64K resolution per layer and lists OpenGL 2.0 and 256 MB RAM among compatibility specifications. The desktop download is free to try, but saving documents and exporting textures require purchase. Plans include Indie at $45, paid once, Studio at $120, paid once, and Studio (Floating) at $120, paid once.
