Everything shows live

The 3D wall and the close-up change as you pick, at the real size. Wall paint opens on a wall, its usual object. The export is the standard set, with a .json that records every choice.

Wall paint's usual object in the 3D view: a wall.

Under Views in the 3D view, Close-up 30 cm, Furniture 1.5 m and Room 4 m show the wall from those true distances. They change the preview only; the maps stay the same.

Faster in 2.0

Wall paint is about twice as fast as before. On an RTX 3090, a measured paint from a colour took 18 seconds instead of 45, and one from a photo 27 seconds instead of 48. The time depends on your PC.
