Plan your scheme, place your lights, and match every colour to the paints you already own β all before your brush ever touches the model.
No sign-up, no download, no upload. They run entirely on your machine β your models are yours.
Drop your STL in and light it like a photographer. Preview NMM (non-metallic metal) and OSL (object-source lighting) with real cast shadows β see exactly where every highlight and shadow will fall before you commit paint.
Model shown: The Price of Magic β sculpt by Nerikson
Printed a multi-part kit? Drag the parts in, nudge each roughly into place, and Chromatory snaps the mating surfaces together precisely. Export the whole thing as one merged STL, ready for the slicer.

Chromatory knows the paints you actually own β so every match, mix and scheme it suggests is something you can paint tonight.
Place lights, preview NMM & OSL with true cast shadows, and paint per-region materials from matte to chrome.
Free in browserSnap multi-part STL kits together and export one printable model β nothing ever uploaded.
