Paint Booth Studio

A layer-based texture editor docked to a live 3D vehicle preview.

Paint Booth Studio is a Photoshop-style, layer-based texture editor docked to a live 3D vehicle preview. Paint, mask, and adjust your livery on a canvas while the model updates in real time, then export a PNG or a native GTA5 YTD ready for your server.

Looking for a quick look instead of a full edit? Use Paint Booth for a live drop-in preview. Studio adds layers, adjustments, and export.

Workflow

1Open an existing texture, import from your library, or create a new blank canvas.
2Import a YFT, GLB, or OBJ model to dock the live 3D preview.
3Paint and edit with the left toolbar — brush, eraser, fill, text, shapes, and more.
4Organize the artwork with layers, groups, and masks in the Layers panel.
5Apply image adjustments — Levels, Hue/Saturation, Blur, Sharpen.
6Save the project locally (Cmd/Ctrl+S), then export a PNG or YTD.

Tools have one-key shortcuts — B for Brush, E for Eraser, T for Text, V for Move, Z for Zoom. Drop a texture onto an empty workspace to open it as the canvas; further drops add new layers.

YTD export needs power-of-two dimensions (256, 512, 1024, …) and a loaded model. Resize via Image → Image Size first if your canvas doesn't match.

Free accounts can save up to 2 Studio projects locally; paid subscribers get unlimited saves.

Frequently asked questions

How is Paint Booth Studio different from Paint Booth?

Paint Booth is a quick live preview — drop a texture and see it on a 3D vehicle. Paint Booth Studio is a full layer-based editor: paint, mask, adjust, and organize layers on a canvas while the 3D preview updates in real time, then export the finished texture.

What file formats can I import?

PNG, JPG, WebP, DDS, PSD (Photoshop), XCF (GIMP), AI (Illustrator), and PDN (Paint.NET) for textures, plus YFT, GLB, and OBJ models for the live preview.

Can I preview my edits on a vehicle in real time?

Yes. Import a YFT, GLB, or OBJ model and the docked 3D preview updates instantly as you paint and adjust the texture.

How do I export a texture for FiveM?

Export a PNG (Cmd/Ctrl+E) for immediate use, or export a native GTA5 YTD — that requires power-of-two canvas dimensions (256, 512, 1024…) and a loaded model.

Can I save a project and come back to it?

Yes. Projects save locally in your browser with full layers and edit history. Free accounts can save up to 2 projects; paid plans are unlimited.

What editing tools are included?

Select, Move, Brush, Eraser, Fill, Text, Color Picker, Pen, and shapes, plus image adjustments like Levels, Hue/Saturation, Blur, and Sharpen — organized with a full Layers panel and layer masks.
