Texel

Texel is a minimalist yet powerful open-source 3D texture editing tool designed for developers and artists who need to quickly paint or modify UV-mapped textures without the bloat of industry giants. It supports PNG, TGA, and EXR formats with real-time texture preview synced to a 3D viewport (via drag-and-drop OBJ/PLY models). Features include layered brushes, symmetry, alpha blending, and GPU-accelerated rendering. Built with Electron and WebGL, it runs on any modern OS and integrates into scripting pipelines via JSON configuration. Perfect for prototyping textures in game jams or indie environments where speed and simplicity matter.
