Aaahhh, that’s an issue that could have 1,000 solutions. I’d start by creating a brand new scene, creating a simple cube and adding a material. If Blender still crashes, it’s likely an issue with your computers drivers. Start by making sure your graphics card drivers are all up to date.

Yeah sorry about that. I made this tutorial right when 4.0 released and the "Screencasts" addon hadn't been updated yet. The keyboard shortcut to bring up that little pie menu is "Z". You can also change it in the top right hand corner of the viewport. There's a couple of little circle shapes that represent wireframe, solid, material and rendered view.

Hey there 😊 I’ve tested this tutorial in everything up to 4.2 and although there are a couple of new options, the tutorial itself still works. If you’re looking for something seriously in-depth, I know Blender Guru recently released a massive texturing tutorial for an old building: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q3mme6KEerydjtEsi=I4_bGq7C8cc_Actp

@@JamieDunbar Thank you

Omg, good pick up! Changed it now. Thank you :D

Hmm, are you using Blender 4.0 or later?

Yay, welcome to the channel 🥳

Hey mate. I’m guessing you’re using your own model? If your model already has UVs that option isn’t available. Don’t stress, just follow the tutorial a little longer and I’ll show you how to do the same thing from the viewport menu 👍

How’s your mini breakdown going? 😅

@@JamieDunbar horrible!

@@Gaminxr 😂😂😂 Let me know if you get stuck.

@@Gaminxr Hey, saw your last comment come in, but it looks like you deleted it? Just wanted to make sure you found that missing button you were looking for?

@@JamieDunbar yeah i found it it was easy after the buttons i needed to press actually existed :D

If you follow the steps carefully it will work, however it is annoyingly easy to get something wrong. Some things to check: -Is the texture connected to the material correctly? -Did you accidentally create more than one texture? -Do you have the correct texture selected when trying to paint? Let me know if any of those work for you, or if you’re confused by how to check them.

Haha, thank you 😊 And welcome to the channel!

That’s not the wireframe by any chance is it? Could you describe what the black lines look like?

@@JamieDunbar imagine a zebras stripes but rotated a bit (its like it puts the stripes on the main color then takes a picture of said color and repeats it where ever i try to paint

@zi3rra My best bet is you've managed to attach a texture to your actual brush. Take a look at this image: docs.blender.org/manual/en/latest/sculpt_paint/brush/texture.html On the right hand side you'll see a heading called "Texture" with an image under it? Directly under that there's a few controls, one of which is an "x". Click that to remove the texture from your brush. If that doesn't work, or you can't find that setting, shoot me a message on the Facebook page. That way I can share some screenshot to guide you: facebook.com/DragonbootsStudios

@@JamieDunbar that fixed it thank you so much

@@zi3rra Oh wow, that was right? Haha, man I'm good 😂

Too late for me! 😝😵‍💫🤡

AutoRig Pro comes with some built in tools to automatically export its rigs to both Unreal and Unity. I don’t work in games much, but the couple of time I have it’s been a huge timesaver 😌

Ooff, now that’s an interesting error. Firstly, are you sure you didn’t accidentally choose “unwrap” rather than “smart UV”? “Unwrap” is a slightly different method that does require you to add edge seams for it to work. “Smart UVs” is meant to automatically create those seams for us, so I’m surprised you’re seeing that error by picking this option. If that doesn’t work there may be some issue with your model. Is it a very high poly model? Or is it made up of multiple objects?

This is for the bevel node right? By default I believe it gives you some XYZ coordinates, which are represented as RBG colours, hence you get random colours. If that doesn’t make sense, don’t worry. The short version is, did you add the colorRamp node at the end to turn those colours into black/white values?

@@JamieDunbar hmmm, maby i didnt. Ill have to retry this afternoon

Good question! There’s a few ways you can handle this. 1. This will still work with multiple meshes in one object. 2. You could seperate the meshes into two objects and paint them separately. 3. You could leave them joined, but do the process twice. So you’ll have two materials on the one object.

And I love you random citizen 😁

same

Omg that’d be awesome. I mean, I think I’ll try and start with one 8minute episode…but we can build from there 😆

Hi Max. This is a beginner tutorial and was never designed to include things like importing and exporting. That said, I was interested by your claim of still needing UVs. I didn't think that's how vertex colours worked. I tested it this morning and I was able to export a simple sphere with vertex colours and no UVs as an alembic file. When imported back into Blender, it still had it's vertex colours 🤷

Haha, fantastic 😄

To be fair, you might be 😬 Are you using Blender 4.0 or above?

same lol. can!t figure out the uv map part- im using blender 4.2.1

@@fishkid1177 Just did a quick test in 4.2 and all the steps and buttons still work. Is there any chance your model already has some UVs? If so, just keep watching. We go over how to create UVs from the viewport.

@@JamieDunbar ah, i figured it out! for some reason my screen didn't have the button, but i just missed when you said the key. i pressed "u" and was able to figure it out from there lol! i also had a friend who helped me in real time! i'm halfway done with texturing my model now :D this tutorial was extremely helpful, tysm!

@@fishkid1177 That's great mate. Glad you got there 😁

Lmao, fantastic 😅 I’ve been doing animation for nearly 20 years and it’s often really hard to remember those initial struggles. I’m glad I haven’t completely forgotten them.

Hey mate. You won’t be alone. Frankly it’s a little harder than it had any right to be. If you’re still struggling, feel free to reach out to me on the Facebook page. We need to at least get you to the painting stage 😉 m.facebook.com/DragonbootsStudios/

Thanks man. It sounds like you appreciate the vibe I was aiming for :) I really wanted to expand the Pokemon universe in a more 'adult' direction. Not in the sense of violence, but the real life implications like family and financial realities.

Lmao. Maybe Oddish can get their 'sweet dreams' moment in a second episode :P

Thank you! That's one of my favourite shots. Since day one, I wanted that and the fist bump shot in there.

Thanks for watching! :D

Yeah my timing on making this video was bad. 4.0 had just released and the hotkeys addon hadn’t been updated yet 😔 It’s working again now, so it’ll be back in further videos.

@@JamieDunbar It's going to be great man👌

Yes, absolutely 👍

Awesome, thank you!
