ArmorPaint<\/a> is an open source competitor to Substance Painter, from the creator of the Armory game engine (tutorial series available here<\/a>).  It is available for just 16 Euro in binary form, but can also be built from source code.  This guide walks you step by step through the process of building ArmorPaint from source.<\/p>\n

There are a few requirements before you can build.  Download and install the following programs if not already installed:<\/p>\n

First step, we clone the repository.  Make sure to add the \u2013recursive flag(that\u2019s two \u2018-\u2018 by the way).<\/p>\n

Open a command prompt, cd to the directory where you want to install ArmorPaint\u2019s source code and run the command:<\/p>\n

git clone \u2013recursive https:\/\/github.com\/armory3d\/armorpaint.git<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Depending on your internet speed this could take a minute to several minutes while all of the files are downloaded.  <\/p>\n

In Explorer, go the installation directory, then navigate to armorpaint\\Kromx\\V8\\Libraries\\win32\\release <\/strong>and using 7zip extract v8_monolith.7z<\/strong> to the same directory as the .7z file.<\/p>\n

Next in the command prompt run the following commands<\/p>\n

(Assuming you are reusing the same CMD that you did the git clone from)<\/p>\n

cd armorpaint<\/strong><\/p>\n

node Kromx\/make \u2013g direct3d11<\/strong><\/p>\n

cd Kromx<\/strong><\/p>\n

node Kinc\/make \u2013g direct3d11<\/strong><\/p>\n

explorer .<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you receive any errors above, the most likely cause is node not being installed.  The final command will now open a Windows Explorer window in the Kromx subdirectory.  Open the build directory and load the file Krom.sln<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This will open the project in Visual Studio.  If you haven\u2019t run VS yet,you may have to do some initial installation steps.  Worst case scenario run through the initial install, close and double click Krom.sln<\/strong> again.<\/p>\n

First make sure that you are building for x64 and Release mode at the top:<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In the Solution Explorer, select Krom then hit ALT + ENTER<\/strong> or right click and select Properties.<\/p>\n

Then select Debugging, in Command Arguments enter ..\\..\\build.krom<\/strong> then click Apply.<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/a><\/p>\n

You are now ready to build ArmorPaint.  Select Ctrl + SHIFT + B<\/strong> or select Build->Build Solution.<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Assuming no errors, are exe should be built.  Now go to the folder armorpaint\\Kromx\\build\\x64\\Release<\/strong> and copy the file Krom.exe<\/strong>, then copy to armorpaint\\build\\krom<\/strong>.  You can now run Krom.exe<\/strong> and you\u2019re good to go.  <\/p>\n
