Why we like it

Atlas earns a place in the Superhive library as a focused UV-to-palette coloring workflow for stylized, shadeless looks in Blender.

What is Stylized Toolkit: Atlas?

Stylized Toolkit: Atlas is a Blender addon built around coloring 3D models with nothing but a color palette texture and your model's UVs. It lets you define swatch grids on your materials, then quantize selected UVs to those swatch grids. From there you can move, select, and copy or paste UVs within the grids directly through the interface.

The workflow supports selecting faces and moving their UVs to the swatch of the last-selected face, as well as selecting UVs of contiguous and non-contiguous swatches across single and multiple objects. Copy and paste of UV positions on the texture swatch grid is included too. Controls are surfaced in both the 3D View Panel and the Material Properties Panel. It works with Cycles and Eevee.

Described as a workflow tool for efficient coloring of models, Atlas benefits retro and non-photorealistic styles. Documentation is available on the developer's site, and the addon is licensed under the GPL, with artwork you create free for commercial, personal, and educational use.

The developer also provides documentation covering the addon's features and workflow.

How does Stylized Toolkit: Atlas position UVs on the swatch grid?

Stylized Toolkit: Atlas quantizes selected UVs to a swatch grid you define on your material, and you move them via the interface. You can copy and paste UV positions on the texture swatch grid, select faces to move their UVs to the swatch of the last-selected face, and select UVs of contiguous and non-contiguous swatches across single and multiple objects. Controls appear in the 3D View Panel and the Material Properties Panel.
