Hey mate. I assume by “second colour” you mean the first time you actually use the paint brush? The most common problem people have is accidentally create more than one image texture. It’s very easy to do and Blender will get confused as to which texture to use. Go into your shader editor and make sure you just have the one image texture and that it’s attached to the Principled shaders colour slot.

Lmao, that’s impressive! 😜 Make sure the final shader node is connected to the output material. Obviously make sure nothing is connected to an emission slot by accident. And finally check you haven’t cranked up a light intensity massively.

I’d start by double checking the size of the image texture. Jagged painting suggests you may have a very low resolution texture.

@@JamieDunbar Thank you, sadly that was not it as even setting the texture resolution to 10k x 10k made no difference. I think the issue may be related to the actual mesh that I've created as it's quite sloppy.

@@TalentedTacoTrex That's definitely possible. This is a very quick and dirty way of creating UVs. Go to the UV editor and have a look at the UVs. If you have hundreds of tiny islands (rather than a handful of larger islands) there's a good chance that's your problem.

@@JamieDunbar I appreciate it. It's actually only two islands funny enough. I was trying to figure the best way to make a mountain so I took a sphere, cut it in half, then stretched out the top. Then wanted more geometry to make changes so I add more vertices and then remeshed. I'm assuming that's too much which probably caused the problem so I'm going to try to redo it.

@@TalentedTacoTrex Is there any chance you made the UVs, then did the remesh? That will definitely break your UVs. Otherwise, I'm surprised a mountain shape would give the automatic UVs too much of a problem. Let me know how you go with it. If you can't figure it out I'd be curious enough to take a look.

I'd start by trying to remake the UVs. It sounds like they may not have worked properly.

That's awesome mate, and welcome to the channel 😁 Just a heads up, this is very much a beginner tutorial designed to get people up and running quickly. The UVs created here are messy and not optimised, which you'd probably want for a game. Either of these tutorials will give you a more indepth understanding of how to properly set up UVs. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jIurk5Kchdp4f7c kzbin.info/www/bejne/iZnWan-Zl9OgfMU

I live in Australia, so it takes a long time to get overseas deliveries here. And I ordered mine during the covid years and supply chains were all messed up. It took quite a while for mine to be delivered. But, I just had a friend in France get one. He said it took about a week to arrive. Rokoko is pretty good to deal with. I'm sure you could get a more accurate answer if you reached out to them.

@ thank you Jamie , the Rokoko suit can buy everyone?

There’s no restrictions I’m aware of. But double check with Rokoko if you have any concerns.

That’s okay, that just means your object already has some UVs. Add the base colour and keep watching. The next step shows you how to add new UVs from the viewport 😊

Unfortunately when I made this tutorial the key cast addon hadn’t been updated to 4.0 yet 😢 Most other tutorials have the keystrokes in the corner. From memory I think there’s two quick menus that get used in this video. Either the “z” key for changing from solid/material/render view. Or the “tab” key for going in and out of edit mode.

Hey mate, those brushes are only available in Blender 4.3 and above, so I haven't really played with them that much. I just had a quick test and by default it looks like both "Paint Hard" and "Paint Hard Pressure" should work. So it might be that you've changed the settings on the "Paint Hard" brush by accident. The "Pressure" brushes should also be using the sensitivity on your tablet, so it might have something to do with the settings on there as well.

@@JamieDunbar i found the problem i have change one thing on it 😑😅

Awesome good to hear 😊

That would be the “z” key good sir 😉

@@JamieDunbar Thanks, Bro.

Lmao, now that’s an interesting idea. I definitely want to see it if you try it 😜

@@JamieDunbar i dont see the "add simple uv mapping"

@@Zaxify1DMost likely that means your object already has UVs. Just keep watching, the next section explains how to add UVs from the viewport instead.

You’re most welcome 😊

Hey mate. 1:01 Shows you how to change the workspace, which sets you up with a good viewport layout. If you want to manually choose a viewport, the first button in the top left of every viewport gives you a dropdown to choose a different view. This is what it looks like when opened: docs.blender.org/manual/en/2.90/editors/index.html

It’s basically impossible to export a node tree from one program to another. The software is just too different. The only way is to bake everything down into a texture file.

Unfortunately I haven’t. Rokoko is the only suit I’ve personally tried. From what I’ve seen the Perception gives similar results, but their gloves only control two fingers and the thumb. I haven’t heard of Shadow before. Going to have to look them up!

You may have accidentally used a “nightmare” node. I recommend uninstalling Blender and never sleeping again.

Haha, I did the same thing for about a year when I first tried to learn Blender.

@@JamieDunbar Really? I wish I was able to use Blender instead of Maya. But my uni only teaches Maya so thats that. But your videos are quite helpful

You should be able to get a student version of Maya if you’re still studying. Trying to learn two programs at the same time is a big ask. That said, once you know one, learning a second becomes a lot easier.

@@JamieDunbar working on getting a student version. Yeah guess it is. But really it just come down to remembering controls for me and that stuff

Hey mate. It sounds like you may have got confused between textures, materials and shaders. Which is perfectly understandable because we often use them interchangeably. So shaders are nodes like the Principled BSDF shader, or a Diffuse shader, or a Glossy shader. Images textures plug into those. So you might have a colour texture. Or a roughness texture. Or a displacement texture. And you can have any number of shaders or textures inside a material. So to (hopefully?) answer your question - yes, you can paint texture into objects that have materials or shaders assigned to them.

@@JamieDunbar thanks a lot :> I actually solved the problem a few days ago. Thanks for the tutorial btw!

@@busyvbee Good to hear. And you're most welcome 😁

You can either do individual UV maps for each object. Or, if you want to combine them into one, just select all the objects at once and go through the process. You may still need to paint them one at a time, but the texture will be shared between all the objects.

Yeah it surprises me Blender doesn’t have some kind of auto save. I’ve come from learning Maya, which saves all textures to a backup folder, just in case.

There’s a few ways. Masking is probably the easiest option. You can also go into edit mode and hide faces you don’t want to paint on.

😗

Ooff, sorry mate it's been a couple of years since I made this video. Can you give me the time stamp?

oh Its fine bro I already figure it out I had to check click the Toogle Overlay on Blender 4.2 Keep uploading Blender Tuturials bro cause you're one of the great lecturers on youtube without annoying accents that you can't even understand what they're saying

@@valpercinabanalan8576 Haha, I'm glad my Aussie accent isn't hard to understand 😜 And happy to hear you figured it out. I'm working on a couple of videos right now I hope to release in a week or so. Actually if you're feeling particularly keen, I put out a form literally this morning for anyone wanting to ask questions: forms.gle/BEs739SBrHhA9HQB7

@@JamieDunbar its fine I like Ozzyman Accents 'Here's me face"👉😆... its those Peruvian, Franch, Americans that keeps on 'lips smacking'' that make those annying sound. and some Jeberish fake accents that just wanna be cool on youtube. Do a retopology fix on hardsurface low model bro, how to put a details and decores that can be 3D-printed. it'll be cristal clear if you make a lecture on that.

That sounds like the UVs may not have worked. Can you check the UV editor and make sure they’re set up properly? The only other thing I can think of is there’s a setting on your brush you don’t want. Could be as simple as having the strength set to 0. Or maybe you’ve got an alpha on your brush (someone else managed to do that. Still not sure how 😅)

made fun of the guy who is literally helping you, instead of thinking that maybe you were the one who made a mistake, and he gave a thoughtful reply. think about that.

Thanks mate, that’s really nice of you. I’m currently working on the facial capture video, so expect that soon.

@JamieDunbar I am very excited about the video, It is a very important topic, Thank you for your efforts creator.

All good mate. To bring up the unwrap menu you should just need to have your mouse cursor in the viewport and press the “U” shortcut. That should open the menu for you.

Annoyingly there's a number of small things you can run into that can trip up beginners and...I think you've been unlikely enough to hit all of them! Okay, so the texture slots thing will only show up in 4.0 or above. It will also only show up if your model doesn't already have UVs. So if you use the model in the download, you'll see the button. If you're using your own model there's a good chance you already have some default UVs and therefore won't get the button. If you can't see the UVs you likely have the "UV sync selection" button disabled. It's this button here: blenderartists.org/uploads/default/original/4X/9/9/2/99220b552ef54ceb2f81e47b30819aed7a890d5f.png You can also get around this by selecting all the faces on your model in the viewport.

Awesome! 😁

That’s a very common problem ☺️ It’s very easily to accidentally create more than 1 image texture and Blender gets confused which one to paint on. Go into the shader editor and make sure you only have the one image texture and that it’s connected to the ‘base colour’ on the Principled BSDF shader. Hopefully after that you’ll be able to paint.

I’m pretty sure that’s the “tab” shortcut. If that doesn’t work, the same buttons can be found in the upper right hand corner of the viewport. They’re the ones shaped like little spheres.

I use z

@@ConeFlower-gx2qk Oh my bad! I must have checked the wrong timestamp. Yes "Z" is the correct shortcut.

@ oh you’re completely fine. I know some people use different hot keys so that was what I was thinking you were doing. Either way I appreciate the help

Haha, I'm working on it right now! Actually I should probably get back to it instead of procrastinating with KZbin comments :P But ETA is next week some time.

A very useful thing to know, but definitely not an “absolute beginner” skill.

Oh nvm, I just realized the side panel you pointed out.

Although the UV's didn't "Pop into existence."

Aahh….not sure on that one. Changing the viewport layout should have zero effect on the model. It’s purely changing what the user interface looks like, not anything in the scene. Did you save the texture before changing the layout? Sometimes Blender can confuse itself with unsaved textures.

@@JamieDunbar Yes I did I really have no idea what happen. It think it may have been a problem with the uv unrape I learned to do it manual after my comment and it work (a bit not very well.)But yeah it is really weird

@tired_constance5750 Very strange, but I'm glad to hear you got it working.

wait nvm I left solid view and it’s gone 😅

That bright pink colour usually means you added an image texture in Blender, but the file has been moved on your hard drive. It’s Blender’s way of basically screaming at you “your texture is gone!!”
