The texturing add-on Ucupaint <\/a>for Blender <\/a>has reached version 2.4.0<\/a>. According to the official release notes, the update introduces a substantial number of new features, UI enhancements, and bug fixes aimed at improving performance and workflow stability across Blender versions 2.76 through 5.0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s new for artists<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Among the most notable additions is the introduction of a dedicated alpha channel, which provides a separate transparency layer instead of relying on background or alpha toggles. A new decal constraint system allows decal objects to stay fixed to the surface of a mesh, improving the projection workflow for labels and surface markings. The add-on now also detects files with a \u201cSmoothness\u201d suffix automatically and loads them into a single layer, while \u201cother object\u201d colour baking can be used to generate more precise masks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
