A Painting, Animation & Texture Studio
— that feels like home.
A studio built for hand-painted art: concept work, 2D animation, and painterly 3D texturing. Familiar shortcuts, a low-latency brush engine, and files you truly own. The tools come to your pen, bought once, yours forever.

Texturing: paint directly onto the model.
Everything the work needs, in one studio.
Atelier is built for hand-painted art: paint and concept, animate in 2D, and texture 3D assets the painterly way. Every feature below is in the app right now.
2D animation
A traditional exposure-sheet timeline with auto-key, onion-skin, holds, and loop ranges. Export sprite sheets, PNG sequences, GIF, or APNG.
3D texturing
Paint a full PBR set (albedo, roughness, metal, normal, emissive, AO) straight onto the model, with seam-aware strokes and X-mirror.
Shortcuts that feel familiar
The modifiers your hands already know. Every binding is yours to remap, so you can tweak any shortcut to whatever you want.
Low-latency brush engine
Pressure, tilt, and orientation with dirty-rect compositing, so the ink visually touches the pen. Blend modes, dynamics, an opt-in stabilizer.
Pops under your cursor
Quick contexts, brush popups, and pickers land right at the pointer. Tablet-first, with no tiny targets to hunt for.
Real color tools
A harmony wheel (complementary, analogous, triad, tetrad), paint-history chips, and pick-anywhere sampling, even outside the window.
Channel packer
Pack and remap channels at any resolution: sources, channels, and packed preview, all in one view. Built for the texture grind.
Overlay art mode
A transparent, always-on-top layer over your whole screen. Pause to interact, then send a trimmed capture straight into Paint.
Photo editing
A full raster editor underneath it all: marquee, lasso, and wand selections, transforms, adjustments, and filters.
Files you can open
An .atelier project is a plain, browsable folder holding every source file you need. Openable by hand, and yours to keep.
Export everywhere
Ship to PNG, JPEG, and TGA, plus sprite sheets, PNG sequences, GIF, and APNG for animation.
Game-art tools
Tileable-texture painting, normal-map ops, a 32-bit HDRI pipeline, and DDS/BC export. The game-art edge, built in.
Zero telemetry. Zero network.
Atelier runs fully offline and never connects to the internet. It collects nothing, sends nothing, and phones home to no one. Your work and your data never leave your machine, and they never will.
What's coming next.
Bought once means these arrive as free updates. The beta steers what lands first.
Liquify & mesh warp
Push, pull, and warp pixels for organic tweaks, extending the transform stack.
Pay once. Keep it forever.
