HOW DO YOU ALWAYS MAKE TUTORIALS RIGHT WHEN I NEED THEM??

[SpaceMango]

Blender really should add these simple tools for texture painting. Layers and ability to add images and stuff. I’m glad there are free editing softwares at least

Found this while on the verge of tears trying to work out how to not make my textures look like shit for a school project. Thank you so much

[ghostwarrior-nixb]

Important tip you need to save the image before you are going edit externally otherwise it returns an error (file path not found) atleast in mine
Blender 3

Also in Gimp you need to click over right in file tab before you reload in blender after that (IN blender : Image editor or UV editor - Image click replace)

was beating my brain for 3 and half hours trying to figure it
hope it helps anyone who reads it

Thats amazing didnt know that 🤓 otherwise you can create Layers through the Material node where you have extremely high control. attach Image to MixRGB add or mix them you can repeat this to add more Layers. And the pen tool in texture paint got a line Tool, stamp tool, pattern tool, masking and much more included. And through the Mat node generate base Texture AO, Curve and much more and bake them as base tex. Its Extremely beginner unfriendly but extremely worth investing time in it 👍🏼

You consistently address the exact problems we are all having. Legend! Thank you again!

[bennyoaks]

WHAT? Wow! I did not know you could do that. Thank you!

[Johnnys_Manager]

thanks for this vid!

[tomoyaogawa]

Oh wow I didn’t actually know you could make this process simpler. This will save me a lot of time. Thanks mate! Very great tip!

[gamerboi_]

WOW. This will speed up my work flow by 10x. Before, I was texture painting my grass and tree meshes directly in the UV editor.... This is amazing. I love using Krita so I'm excited to see what I can do.

It's been what, couple of days or so & I can't seem to find a video that could help me solve my problem.

[deimosoverkill]

The only thing i desperately wish for blender texture paint to have now that I've been using it for some days, is a rotate canvas feature (on the texture/UV viewport) that would make everyone's lines more precise and clean, and way more quick.. loving your content man, keep it up!

[thebigbennychannel]

this just saved me a whole ton of time, thanks mate!

[fearcry]
