Trumble review
A low-cost general-purpose texturing suite with direct PBR painting and engine-ready exports.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Trumble is a browser-based 3D texturing suite for game developers and artists who need a broad set of core painting, baking, and texture-editing tools without a large software commitment. It supports direct painting of PBR channels on 3D meshes, 2D editing for textures and alphas, material layers, blend modes, masks, and a built-in material and texture library. Mesh imports include OBJ, STL, FBX, GLTF, and GLB, while the product runs through a modern browser on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
Pricing is straightforward. The Free plan costs $0 forever and includes all current tools, all future tools, browser-based access with no installation, and workspace ads. The Pro plan costs $5 per month and includes everything in Free, with no ads and the full workspace layout. Because Pro changes the workspace experience rather than adding a separate set of texturing or baking tools, the Free plan covers the main feature set for users comfortable with ads. Pro is primarily a low-cost option for a cleaner workspace.
Trumble’s strongest fit is a PBR workflow that connects asset preparation with common game engines. It can bake normal, ambient occlusion, curvature, position, and thickness maps, then export engine-specific texture packs for Unity, Unreal Engine, Godot, and Roblox. Google Drive integration supports project saving, adding a cloud-storage connection to the browser workflow. Choose Trumble for accessible, general-purpose mesh texturing, map baking, and engine exports. Users seeking procedural materials or a workflow that does not depend on browser access should choose an alternative.
