Wafer

Purpose: Wafer is 3D texture painting software for stylized, hand-painted and NPR assets.
Painting tools: Its drawing tools include brushes, lasso clips, gradients, wet painting and blur that operate directly on 3D geometry.
Layers: It supports paint and fill layers, editable masks, blend modes and opacity in a non-destructive layer system.
Symmetry: It supports 3D and 2D symmetry with independently configurable pivots.
PBR painting: Users can paint across multiple PBR channels at once or define custom channel layouts for NPR and stylized shaders.
Projects: A project can contain multiple meshes, materials and texture sets, with configurable channel packing for export.
Asset browser: The integrated asset browser includes stencils, triplanar textures, brush alphas, HDRIs, decals and stamps.
Performance: The maker says Wafer supports up to 64K resolution per layer and lists OpenGL 2.0 and 256 MB RAM among its compatibility specifications.
Platforms: The maker lists Windows and macOS desktop downloads and links to an iPad App Store version.
Free use: The desktop download is free to try, but purchasing unlocks texture exporting and document saving.
Platform purchase limit: The desktop purchase works only on the listed Windows and macOS versions; the Apple App Store and other platforms are not compatible with it.
Support: Sparseal offers product technical support by email and says its Discord server provides faster communication.
Maker: Sparseal describes its work as design and development of CGI tools and identifies Pablo Dobarro and Joan Fons on its About page.
