Open PainterOpen Painter Connect
The bridge between your account and Blender.
A small, open-source companion extension. The painter itself stays offline and never needs it.
Step 1
Sign in
Click Sign in inside Blender. Connect shows a short code and opens this site; approve it and you're done. No password is ever typed into Blender.
Step 2
Sync
Connect asks which packs your account can access, compares versions and checksums with what's installed, and shows Install or Update per pack.
Step 3
Install
Packs download over a short-lived signed link, are verified by SHA-256, and land in Open Painter's library as ordinary .openpaintmaterial files.
Step 4
Keep
If a subscription ends, installed files stay on disk. Connect simply stops offering updates and new packs. It isn't DRM.
Why a separate extension?
Open Painter promises no accounts, no network and no subscription in the core. Connect is where all of that lives instead — declared with Blender's network permission, GPL-licensed, and auditable. Remove it, and the painter keeps working with everything you installed.
Your sign-in token lives in Blender's config directory, never in your preferences file. Connect only ever touches files it installed itself.
