Description

impcat (short for Interactive Miniature Painting Catalogue) is a simulator for photorealistic painting results on gaming and tabletop miniatures.

This tool gives you a variety of miniature images with individually customizable body sections, that you can paint with colours you own or perhaps wish to purchase. It works with predefined colour palettes, using names and values as promoted by their manufacturers.

To achieve a high quality result the system simulates a four step painting process:
Base colouring, layering, shading and highlighting.

Features:
- A set of 6 built-in miniatures, by Artel "W", with up to nearly 30 individually paintable sections
- A set of built-in colour palettes, as well as additional palettes from our DLC server (around 1000 paints to choose from, and growing)
- A file handling system for importing custom image and paint templates (visit impcat.de/faq for instructions)
- Access to a growing online library of free DLCs (visit impcat.de/about for full list of contents)
- An automated complement recommendation mode that lets you select a base colour and then automatically applies harmonizing layer, shade and highlight paints, which you can then customize at will.
- A photorealistic simulation of the applied paints.
- A shopping list generator that collects the data of all applied colours and gives you the links to the corresponding shop pages
- Saving and loading options for your colour configurations
- A colour creating tool, for creating opaque and metallic paints of any colour you like
- A colour mixing tool, for testing mix results of your paints
- A randomizer, for getting colour scheme inspiration by letting impcat ramdomly distribute a set of colours across the model

Not intuitive at all. Please read impcat specific reviews online before wasting $3. Not very many models are available and most require separate downloads / imports, depending on if a reliable SVG is even out there.

Couldn't be happier. The instructions can be obtuse at first but it's super easy to use. There's plenty of community made templates available for different models and paint lines

a terrible person

great program ruined by a ui that makes me want to scream. why isn't there a way to select and lock colours beyond just tapping the buttons over and over again until you get the result you wanted? WHY ISN'T THERE AN UNDO BUTTON? unfortunately this is seemingly the only option for previewing model paints like this, so if that's what you're looking for this is your only option, but god it's frustrating to use.

I don't know what happened but now the app is borked. edit* I reinstalled the app for the 5th time and it looks like it's back in a usable state. not a big fan that the app now covers the entire screen - it sucks having the name of the file placed right where the camera is as well as having the paint options at the very bottom - makes using my bottom navigation buttons harder to use. I'm bumping my review up to 3 stars instead of 1 due to the complaints above.

I just don't get it

6 templates. Pay for everything else. Serves me right for not reading the description. Total waste of money for me. Deleted.

Pretty Useful, if Fiddly

Could we get a way to permanently toggle-off auto mode? I keep accidentally changing the whole scheme when I only wanted to change one layer.

Where is the Space Marine?

I bought this to paint space marines and there aren't any in it.

Very Good App

This app does exactly what you’ll want it to do. Community support online is great with lots of third party content for models and paint ranges, and all straightforward enough to use.

Decent but limited

No easy way to import GW models or paints. No tyranids or alternative models available
