impcat (Interactive Miniature Painting Catalogue) is a digital painting simulator for achieving realistic effects on gaming and tabletop miniatures.

This application allows you to select from various miniature images and paint them using colours you own or plan to purchase, utilizing predefined colour palettes with names and values from manufacturers.

Base colouring, layering, shading, and highlighting.

Key features include:
- Six built-in miniatures provided by Artel "W".
- Predefined colour palettes featuring 308 colours from Vallejo Model Color and Vallejo Game Color.
- Access to free miniature template and colour palette DLCs, updated automatically as new content is added.
- A colour recommendation mode that suggests harmonizing layer, shade, and highlight paints based on a selected base colour, allowing for customization.
- Photorealistic simulation of applied paints.
- A shopping list generator that collects applied colour data and provides links to corresponding shop pages.
- A colour mixing tool for combining predefined paints.
- A colour creation tool for designing and collecting custom colours.
