Our verdict on ColorMinis
ColorMinis is a mobile 3D painting studio for miniature painters, character designers, hobbyists and people planning physical paint schemes. It can generate models from text prompts, one reference image or multiple reference images, or provide artist-created library models for in-app coloring. Users can paint directly on models with airbrush, dry brush, ink brush, fill, blend and erase tools, then refine areas with precision masks.
The free plan provides mobile access to the core experience, while ColorMinis Premium Monthly and ColorMinis Premium Yearly add premium library and studio access. The central workflow combines manual painting with PBR finishes, including metallic, matte, satin, glossy and polished options. AI Brush can blend selected generated texture details into manual painting, and multiple painted versions or looks can be saved for comparison or iteration.
ColorMinis is strongest when the goal is quick, direct model painting on a phone or tablet, especially when AI-assisted generation and texture experimentation matter more than a full desktop texturing pipeline. Personally generated models can be exported as textured GLB files, supporting workflows that need portable 3D assets. The product is a narrower fit for artists who need baking, procedural materials, integrations or broader platform support, since it is limited to iOS and Android. Library models remain available for coloring but cannot be exported, so users who need exportable assets should work from personally generated models.
