'''''4D Paint''''' was a program, originally released "4D Vision" (Andy Bearsley and Max Fox-Wilson are listed as the human programmers in one copy<ref>"About" window of version 1.13</ref>), for texturing models made in [[3DS|3D Studio]] and its successor [[MAX (3ds Max)|3D Studio Max]] . It stores projects in folders with the extension ".4dp", which contain resources used in the project as well as an actual file with the same extension. It can also be used as a plugin for 3D Studio Max.

It seems<ref name="pr" /> that 4D Paint, perhaps under a different name, was originally developed some time in 1995 or earlier by Schreiber Instruments, Inc., a Colorado-based company that had been founded in 1987 to develop [[AutoCAD]]-related products<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/19990125103047/http://www.schreiber.com/</ref>.
