On November 6, 2026, we released KiraPaint, a free Blender add-on, as open source on GitHub. KiraPaint turns a 3D model in Blender into sparkly, painterly 2.5D.
It breaks the surface into tiny glossy facets that catch pink, cyan, violet and gold light, paints over them in brush strokes, and puts star glints on the brightest spots, for a hand-painted look that glitters like crushed diamond.
It comes with 10 backgrounds and 4 styles: Kira, Soft Paint, Bold Ink and Dreamy. Move the 2.5D slider and a realistic render turns into a painting before your eyes.
It works on any model, whether downloaded, scanned or generated with AI. It never replaces your materials, so you can always undo it. Just ask an AI agent such as Claude Code or Codex, and it installs and applies the add-on for you.
KiraPaint is our second Blender add-on, after MochiToon, the comic-style add-on we released in October. Everything we have released so far is on our open source page.
We will keep refining the tools that come out of our own game and film production, and keep releasing them.
