What is Ravage - Layer Based Texturing?

Ravage - Layer Based Texturing is a PBR texturing tool for Blender from Faux Rogue, built around a layer based system in the vein of Substance Painter, Quixel Mixer and ArmorPaint. It adds helpers aimed at a more efficient texturing workflow along with a range of additional functionality.

You can work with Ravage's own systems, bring your own nodes, or mix the two to build a setup that fits how you texture. The addon ships with built-in texturing tools that shorten tasks that would otherwise need lengthy setup, plus tools to make baking in Blender quicker and easier. A set of custom node groups drives the system and can be extended, and custom masks can make use of baked support maps.

Ravage is built to run on any machine that can run Blender, so newer hardware is not required. It supports a wide span of Blender releases from 2.83 through 4.2 and is distributed under the GPL. A free Lite version offers part of the functionality found in the Pro edition.
