Paint Brush Importer v0.4.0 for Blender

Blender 3.3 - 5.0

Paint Brush Importer (also known as BlBrush) is a powerful, specialized add-on for Blender that simplifies the transition from traditional 2D digital painting to 3D creation. Developed by chsh2, the creator of NijiGPen, this tool addresses a long-standing hurdle for Blender artists: the difficulty of finding high-quality, pre-made brush assets for 3D painting and sculpting. By providing a streamlined bridge between industry-standard 2D software and Blender, it allows users to import their favorite professional brush collections directly into the 3D workspace.

The core functionality of BlBrush revolves around its ability to convert native brush formats from popular software into a format Blender can understand. It supports a wide range of industry formats, including Photoshop’s .abr, GIMP’s .gbr and .gih, Procreate’s .brushset, and even Clip Studio Paint’s .sut files. This cross-compatibility is a game-changer for illustrators and concept artists who have spent years building or purchasing custom brush libraries in other software and want to maintain their signature "hand-painted" look within a 3D environment.
