What it does.
Texture edits that reload
Send the active texture or a material’s images, export over the watched file and Blender reloads the matching image.
Renders and paintovers
Send a render for retouching, a viewport capture for a paintover, or render passes as layers in one PSD.
Paint with a UV guide
Open a texture beside its UV guide, or start a layered PSD with guide and paint layers ready.
Height as surface detail
Paint a height image and the bridge connects it through a Bump node into the material’s normal input.
Before you buy.
- Windows only · Blender 3.3–5.2.
- Your own Affinity Photo installation, not included; returns must be exported in a Blender-readable format such as PNG.
- Native .afphoto files don’t load in Blender, so saving only the Affinity document won’t update the texture.
