PaintFilter Addon for Blender (Compositor Group Node)

version 1.3.0

✨ Bring your renders to life with PaintFilter — a powerful compositor node setup packed into a simple addon.

🎨 What is PaintFilter?

PaintFilter is a custom compositor group node designed to give your renders an artistic and stylized touch. Once installed, you’ll find a brand-new “PaintFilter” node right inside Blender’s compositor search menu (Shift + A → Search → PaintFilter).

With a single click in the Viewport N-Panel, you can:

• Enable “Use Node” → instantly load the PaintFilter group node into your project.
• Apply PaintFilter → automatically connect Render Layers → PaintFilter → Composite + Viewer.

No manual setup needed — everything is wired and ready.

🖼️ Features

• ✅ One-Click Setup — add and wire the filter automatically.
• ✅ Searchable Node — appears in Shift + A → Search as “PaintFilter.”
• ✅ Viewport Controls — directly tweak group inputs (factors, sliders, etc.) in the N-Panel.
• ✅ Artistic Effects — integrates advanced filters like Kuwahara and Diamond Sharpen (requires Blender 4.0+).
• ✅ Non-Destructive — works right inside Blender’s compositor workflow.
• ✅ Future Updates — buy once, get all improvements for free. I’ll keep making it better with every version!
