THE DESKTOP STUDIO
Go beyond coloring. Make it yours.
Work big on Mac or Windows: frame your model, paint from every angle, refine individual Parts and build a look from first basecoat to final highlight. Tablet and mobile keep the creative flow going.
PARTS & MASKS
Get precise with custom Parts.
Select existing Parts, create custom paint areas, merge Parts and control boundaries with masks, image stickers and stamps. Advanced tools are part of Premium.
COLOR & MATERIALS
Explore color and finish.
Try matte, satin, glossy and metallic looks, plus useful miniature paint-color references from Citadel, Vallejo and Reaper.
FULL 3D SCENES
From single figures to tiny worlds.
Paint creatures, characters, props and full scenes. Your canvas can be a tabletop miniature, a favorite character or an entire little room.
YOUR DAILY CREATIVE BREAKMeet the featured artists
Two new models, free every day.
Choose two new eligible models from the ColorMinis gallery in each rolling 24-hour period. Once claimed, they stay in your library while the account and service remain available. No need to know anything about 3D modeling.
Start with the full creative idea.Choose a figure. Turn it. Paint it. Save your color schemes. Come back tomorrow for two more models to try. Premium opens unlimited eligible gallery downloads and additional tools.
PAINT HERE. CONTINUE THERE.
Your studio can travel with you.
Start a personal model on your desktop. Use nearby QR sharing to bring its model and eligible painting saves to a tablet or phone. Keep painting away from your desk, then send your updated creation back.
01Create at your desk
Import a compatible model or use an original generated model. Paint and save your work.
02Scan and continue
Send an eligible personal Cmini package to another nearby device on the same trusted local Wi-Fi.
03Bring it back
Transfer the updated personal model and selected paint saves back to your desktop when you return.
Cmini/QR is a user-initiated model transfer, not automatic cloud sync. Eligible personal models only; artist catalog models cannot be redistributed. For a fuller transfer of locally stored data and custom Part maps, use Settings → ZIP backup/restore instead.
YOUR OWN 3D CREATIONS
Bring your own model. Or imagine a new one.
You don’t need a 3D modeling background to enjoy ColorMinis. Start with free gallery models, bring a compatible 3D model into the desktop studio, or optionally generate an original figure from a prompt or reference images.
Import on desktop
Premium desktop import supports compatible GLB, FBX and OBJ files. Your model needs a single, non-overlapping UV layout already prepared; ColorMinis doesn’t automatically unwrap UVs.
Optional AI creation
Create new 3D models from text or reference images, then paint, edit Parts, explore materials and try separately generated textures. AI generation uses purchased credits or applicable individual purchases.
Make a Cmini
Package an eligible personal model and its selected painting work into a portable .cmini file. Share with a friend or move it between supported devices and continue editing.
Your own generated outputs may be used commercially where you have the necessary rights and follow the Terms. Importing or painting someone else’s model does not grant redistribution rights. ColorMinis does not provide an in-app marketplace for Cmini files.
Desktop file requirements
Supported raw import formats: compatible GLB, FBX and OBJ. A single non-overlapping UV layout is required and may need to be prepared beforehand. Suggested model limit: approximately 600,000 polygons. Cmini is a separate package-import format. File compatibility depends on preparation and device support.
THREE WAYS TO PAINT
Big-screen studio. Anywhere inspiration.
Desktop — your full studio
Mac for a complete desktop creative workflow now; wishlist the coming Windows version on Steam. Import raw models with Premium and work with keyboard, mouse or pen tablet.
Tablet — your creative canvas
Bring a model to the sofa or art table. A larger touch screen is ideal for exploring palettes, surfaces, highlights and detail painting.
Phone — pick up and go
Continue an eligible personal model during a break, then transfer the updated work back when you’re ready to return to the desktop.
GOOD TO KNOW
A few helpful details.
Is ColorMinis really free?
Yes. Eligible signed-in accounts can claim up to two new eligible gallery models in a rolling 24-hour period and use core painting tools. Premium unlocks more gallery access and advanced tools; optional AI generation is charged separately.
Do I need to know 3D modeling?
No. Choose a gallery figure and start painting. Importing your own raw model is an optional, more advanced Premium feature on desktop.
Can I import my own 3D files?
Yes, on supported Mac and Windows desktop builds with Premium. Compatible GLB, FBX and OBJ files need a single non-overlapping UV layout; Cmini packages import through a separate flow.
Does my work sync automatically between my devices?
Not all of it. For eligible personal models, nearby Cmini/QR transfer can include model content and selected saves on the same trusted local Wi-Fi. For complete local archives and custom Part resources, use Settings ZIP backup/restore. Sign-in alone does not replicate every local resource.
Can I share or sell Cmini creations?
You can share eligible personal Cmini model packages. The Terms allow lawful commercial use of original user-generated outputs where you hold the necessary rights. There is no built-in Cmini store, and painting an artist’s gallery model does not grant permission to redistribute or sell that model.
When can I get ColorMinis for Windows?
The Windows desktop version is coming to Steam. Add it to your wishlist to be notified when it releases. Mac, iPad, iPhone and Android are the available download choices for this coordinated launch.
