Texture like you paint.
The offline texturing app Najim built for his own work, and uses to paint Empire. Stylized 2D and 3D, flat maps or straight on the mesh. No account, no cloud, nothing phoning home.
site/assets/hero.webp Just a glimpse for now. The full reveal comes when it's ready.
Offline
Fovenne never touches the internet. No account, and nothing phones home.
Plain files
A project is a browsable folder on disk. Open it, move it, back it up by hand.
Nothing expires
No subscription to lapse and no license server to go dark. The app lives on the machine it's installed on.
One app, built for texturing.
Fovenne is for hand-painted and stylized texturing, flat or straight on the mesh. Everything below is in the app right now. Nothing on this page is a roadmap promise.
Artwork by Najim Filali Saksak The brush
A brush with pressure, tilt, and per-stroke dynamics, a color-harmony wheel for building real palettes, and shortcuts you can remap to what your hands already know.
Artwork by Najim Filali Saksak Stylized tools
Gradient tools and stylized filters built for the look, with brushes for both traditional and digital texture work. PBR, specular, and custom channel workflows when you need them.
Artwork by Najim Filali Saksak 2D and 3D, one editor
Paint flat maps or straight on the mesh in one unified editor, with every 2D tool adapted to work in 3D. Strokes respect the UV seams, materials are lit as you go, and export drops into Unreal, Unity, or Godot with custom exporters.
The details that do the work.
The brush
Low-latency brush engine
Pressure and tilt, and it keeps up with a fast hand.

Stylized texturing
Gradient tools
Smooth ramps and stylized falloff, painted by hand.
Filters for stylized effects
Push the look without leaving the canvas.
Traditional and digital brushes
Built for hand-painted texture work.
2D and 3D, one editor
One unified editor
Paint flat maps or straight on the mesh, in one place.
Every 2D tool, in 3D
The tools you know, adapted to texturing on a model.
Engine-ready export
PBR, specular, and custom workflows. PNG, JPEG, TGA. Drops into Unreal, Unity, Godot.
Where the name comes from.
FOV: field of view
In 3D painting, the camera isn't just how you look at the model; it's how your strokes land on it. The viewport is the brush. Fovenne is built so that what you see is exactly what reaches the surface.
The fovea
The small pit at the center of the retina where vision is at its sharpest and nearly all color perception lives.
Fovēre
Latin: to keep warm, to cherish, to nurture. The word Romans used for tending a fire, or fostering a talent. The way you hold a thing you're making by hand.
