Blender 3.0 Beginner Tutorial Part 8: Texture Painting

[@SonLeDang]

If your texture painting acting weird (you paint on one side but the stroke appears on the other) try to re-calculate your Normals first: Edit Mode -> A (select all vertices) -> Mesh menu -> Normals -> Recaculate Outside

Memory allocators often round up to the nearest power of two. So if you ask for a 1000x1000 texture, it is possible you be paying for a 1024x1024 texture and then throwing away 5% of your pixels. In practice this probably doesn't have a measurable effect anymore. But using powers of two has the added benefit that your textures can be halved in size as many times as you want without introducing weird aliasing artifacts. This is mostly important if you are doing game development and using levels of detail or sprite sheets or similar.

8:52 Notice!! Under 'Options' in the Texture Paint window (hold mousewheel panning right and left) there's 'Backface Culling', which when ticked _On_ will paint _through_ the object. Turn it _Off_ to NOT paint through the object and only onto the surface you're looking at. I'm using version 3.3.1 of Blender. It was annoying to discover this and not understand what was going on.

1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, etc... are maximum integer values you can represent with n bit binary numbers. 8 bit = 2ˆ8 = 256. They are common seen values or limits in computers since data is often organized in chunks of 8 bit. Also why 1KByte (1KiB) is 1024 bytes.

[@mshuman]

The reason that you want to give it one of those numbers is so that it will make use of all of the space you're giving it. For example, in 8 bit, 250 would take up the same space as 256, so you might as well use as much as possible.

[@gorkskoal9315]

and powers of 2 come from the days of literal stacks of cards--- maybe because they use a lot of binary for assembler codiny, or logic (off and on). Plus powers of 2 make it a lot easier get the display to render ratio right and I don't know why. But back in the CLI days (BSD, early linux etc) where every Byte of ram counted? ooh yeah you were optimizing the living shite out of that. this man should know that stuff. It has nothing to do with blender 512 was the fastest data transfer rate you could get to a floppy disk and hard disk the 11/2 inch kind. not as the computer drive kind.

To anyone still struggling at 6:30 with painting directly on the donut in texture paint mode like I was, as in you don't see texture being painted in either window when you try to paint the donut in texture paint mode, you don't need to recalculate outside normals like other people are saying, and which didn't work for me, the solution in the comments for me was in texture paint mode under the right side menu list go to "Draw" -> "Brushes" -> Press the X to delete the brush -> Click New to create a new brush.

Textures being a power of two is a holdover from older 3d hardware where certain texture features such as mipmapping were only available on power of two textures, as mipmaps involve repeatedly halving the texture's size, which is guaranteed to always produce integers with any power of two above 1.

[@FootballFreak712]

When I was trying to paint on the donut it wasn’t showing up, it was only showing up on the texture on the left hand side, but I found out if you go into “options” under “Color Picker” and Un-tick “Backface Culling” it fixed the issue and I could paint on the donut.

I've been following this tutorial for the last seven videos or so and I'm really grateful for the resource so first I wanted to thank you for going to the trouble. Secondly, I wanted to ask you to remember that it should be assumed we are looking back-and-forth from the tutorial to our canvas (I'm playing it on a separate device), so our eyes aren't on you every second. You move pretty fast and sometimes you click areas without slowing down, or perform an operation without explaining how you did it. this makes for a lot of pausing and rewinding. Which could be avoided by simply moving a little slower and being obvious in those areas when you go to a new window or do a new operation - remember, we are beginners at this, and don't know where to find anything. I know it's hard to change your style, so if you don't make any changes in those areas, could I ask you (in the future) to please use some software for tutorials, i.e., to highlight your mouse clicks, and mouse position. It would make things much easier on this side. Thanks again for this valuable service.

[@robertedgington32]

512, 2^X is common in image processing and digital signal processing for many computer science reasons. The one that makes most sense to me is the spectral transform of data from time to frequency domain. The most common algorithm to do this (discrete fourier transform, DFT), requires a 2^x input. If a signal is less than this it will pad it with zeros to make the image / signal that size. This zero padding can create artefacts in transformations, so its better to work in base 2 size images so this padding does not need to be done, and no unexpected afterfacts are introduced. Other reasons include the way data is stored in memory pages, etc

[@Philsosopher]

6:29 if anyone else is trying to paint on the donut but it is only showing up on the texture image then go into edit mode and select mesh-> normals -> recalculate outside That worked for me.. Also if you click on the viewport overlays and select face orientation if it’s red it means you need to recalculate it.

6:22 if your brush doesn't work, your TexDraw may have a blank texture assigned to it (FOR SOME REASON) simply scroll down the brush options tab on the right, click the dropdown named "Texture", and if you see a black square instead of a checkerboard, just click the little x button underneath it.

You must be the best teacher I've seen on KZbin cus I'm just cruising through these vids and haven't pulled any hair out, you make it very easy to understand. But I haven't started this vid yet but I'm determined to make it to the end!

[@robinkuster1127]

The reason you need textures to the power of two is because that's what GPUs optimize for. Those resolutions are the only resolutions you can cleanly divide down to 1 px so that's what you can mipmap properly. If you just keep textures 1000x1000 the GPU would not be able to turn down the level of detail for further away objects and that causes artifacts. So it has to do it anyway if you want your stuff to look good. 1024 can be divided down to 512, 256, 128, 64, 32, 16, 8, 4, 2, 1. 1000 can be divided down to 500, 250, 125, 62.5? See, doesn't work. Some GPUs allow you to do that but then there's some internal magic going on. I don't even know if DX12, Vulkan and Metal let you do it but OpenGL did but then you might get some GPU drivers not supporting it and then you end up with white or black borders on the sides if you try to render that texture. Source: CS degree with a Bachelor thesis on terrain and UI, specifically font, rendering and some experience with the programming side of CG.

[@silaswagner2979]

Hey, nerd here. Your intuition about keeping things in powers of two is pretty good. There are two major reason why this is an advantage: The GPU can render things stored in memory almost for free most of the time. The really expensive bit is often loading things into graphics memory, as the CPU/GPU bus is really slow. If your vertex data and shader uniforms etc. have a memory layout that's aligned with the native sizes, you can pack those buffers more tightly and less memory is wasted for padding (since memory has to be aligned one way or the other). Having neatly aligned data also improves cache efficiency in many cases (reading once from the cache, instead of doing two reads just to include that one misaligned byte) Another one is that performing mathematical operations on integers that are powers of two is incredibly cheap because you can do it using bitwise math. The difference it makes is ridiculous. It's basically just a free operation. Using the example from the video, taking half of a number (which is a pretty common thing to do) would usually have to be done by dividing by 2 (when dealing with floating points your computer will actually translate this and multiply by 0.5 instead, because division is just so damn inefficient). but when your number is a power of two integer, you can achieve the same by performing a bitshift operation (pushing all the bits one nudge to either side): 0b10000000000 = 1024 0b01000000000 = 512 This is the same way that you are able to do quick multiplication and division by 10 in decimal; you don't actually do any calculation, you just take advantage of basic number theory to take a shortcut. The exact same principle apply to binary, except with 2 as the base. Edit: I may have worded that poorly. The reason this works is not because 1024 is a power of 2. it's because *2* is a power of 2, but this works regardless of the left hand side of the operation. Dividing or multiplying by 4 could be done by shifting two bits, 8 by shifting 3 bits etc. (analogous to multiplying or dividing by 100 or 1000 in decimal)

[@mansano28]

If you're at the Color Mix (RGB Mix) part and your donut is filled with red/green/blue spots instead of the dark ones seen in the video try this: The solution is to invert which "channel" you are sending from Noise Texture node to the Color Mix node and to the Bump node. Keep the A as being the color "channel" from image texture, and for B instead of sending the colour information from the Noise Texture node to the Color Mix node like the tutorial, send the Fac "channel" instead. And for the Bump node, send the colour info to it's height.

There are many TUTORIALS out there to learn the specic topic, once you know what part of the software you need most.

[@louielee3583]

For people who are unable to change the color after modifying the color wheel (it keeps going white), I just made a quick fix and hope it works for you as well: 1. After clicking the color picker at 04:58, make sure you are at the hex tab. 2. Adjust the Black & White value by clicking any position on the bar. If still doesn't work, try to change the input with any valid HEX value (e.g. FF00FF). 3. The preview color should be able to change when you are dragging the color picker above. 4. Press OK. 5. It should be working according to my experience.

Thanks for doing these Tutorials, super helpful 👏 It's perfect time for me, I only downloaded Blender a week ago to do some basic sculpting for 3D printing. Awesome stuff.

[@yoavsigler4457]

While modeling I didn't manage to get the middle part to look nice so I just left it as it was and tried fixing it later on. I tried texture painting but I couldn't get it to look good, so in the node editor I connected a wave texture (set on the z-axis and scaled to 0.15) into a color ramp node. It made it look a lot nicer (it also textures the inside of the donut rather than just the outer part), and the color ramp node makes it really intuitive to use. It's a fun alternative for texture painting if you like nodes.

[@SapiensVirtus]

15:40 About the MIX NODE and the blending modes. You have to open the MIX node (search it or go to shift+A--Converter--Mix) deploy it and click on the parameter FLOAT and select COLOR then you'll see the blending mode options below. (I'm in Version 3.5.1 )🔥

I downloaded Blender quite a long time ago but had NO idea where to start. It was intimidating at first but now the more I learn, the easier it's getting. It's just learning a new skill same as when I was learning how to use SAI to draw. You're such a good teacher and I'm excited to see the kinds of things I can do with what I'm learning from you!

Backface Culling - don't forget to turn it OFF in the setting of the paint tool (lower right corner of the app). I've already did this donut three times, and just once everything was ok. In rest texture painting didn't worked proper. When I tried to paint on 3d model in viewport, everything I painted appeared in completely wrong place. OH YES, Finally, I found the solution!

[@abijanu_101]

You possess unending knowledge on the topic of Donuts, thanks for the cooking tutorials

I'm having trouble painting onto the model. When I try to do so, I paint unto the back face as opposed to the front, relative to my view. Almost like my brush is ignoring that front face, and painting every face behind it.

[@StraveTube]

It's possible that the normals on your donut mesh have gotten reversed somehow. To fix that, just hit Tab to go into Edit Mode, press A to select all vertices, then hit Shift+N to recalculate normals. Hit Tab again to get out of Edit Mode, and it should be fixed (if it was a normals problem to begin with).

@@StraveTube Didn't work... It's not painting inside the donut, but through it? It paints fine if I paint on the image, but on the model what I click on isn't what gets painted.

I fixed it! Don't know how this setting was set, maybe a hotkey I don't know yet... But In the active tool with the brush, Options > Blackface Culling. It should be off, but it was on by default for me, so I hesitated flipping it. That option fixed it for me.

@@StraveTube Huh, thanks! Maybe it is the default? Weird. I thought I had bumped a hotkey by accident that flipped that setting.

If you can`t find MixRGB it is because it is called Mix Color (At least in the version i use 3.4)

I also had the problem where I could paint on the picture, or paint on the donut but my changes wouldn't appear on the donut, only on the picture, I found how to fix this and it is VERY simple. In the "Active tool and workspace settings" tab on the right (the screwdriver and key icon), in the "Texture Slots" subtab, make sure to CLICK on the name of the image you created. It should appear.

[@aerynleighproductions]

legend, was going insane why my bloody donut was purple o7

[@marc.lepage]

The original reason for using "power of two" size textures (like 512, 1024) is not only that memory sizes are power of two, but because the binary math to compute positions on the texture can be done simply and efficiently (using bitwise operators). When you start using NPOT (non-power-of-two) sizes, the math gets more complicated, and the operations to do that math become more involved (and therefore less efficient). Less of a problem now with modern CPUs and GPUs.

[@ryankdeboer]

[@SebBrosig]

Nerd here: when you said 512 is "a bit of an odd number" you couldn't have been more wrong.

[@kaydevious]

In regards to the texture sizes being powers of two, it simplifies calculations for the renderer/engine so that if the resolution is doubled or cut in half the math is easier and there's no remainder being rounded off and in turn no data being lost. An example would be level of detail scaling (LOD) in video games: the farther away an object is, the less detail is needed because it's not really noticeable and it wastes computational power. Up close, you want the full detail, full resolution texture (1024 for example) and that same object when really far away would scale back to a lower resolution (256 for example) to save rendering power/time. This was a bigger deal back in the day when we had weaker machines without dedicated GPUs. You can google what mipmapping is if you want a more detailed and technical explanation, but that's basically the jist of it: simpler, quicker calculations and no loss of data when LOD scaling is done. The same logic can be applied to streaming and other things as well where you upscale/downscale the resolution (downscaling 1440p desktop to 720p stream will produce less artifacts than downscaling 1080p to 720p because there's no numbers being rounded off, it's perfectly divided in half)

[@___echo___]

the line on the donut is just because the donut dough has so much air in it it floats more than half the donut above the oil (thats what a good donut dough is supposed to do) so the middle section never gets directly fried except in the beginning where it sinks for a bit before the air inside the donut gets hot and puffs it up

2:19 My donut doesn't show the "uploaded" texture wrapped on the donut, but it only takes a slight color from those "opened" pictures. Any ideas what I might be missing?

[@DemetriosKehagias]

The reason why the texture numbers appear odd ex. 512, 1024, 2048, etc. is because 1 byte is equal to eight bits. so if you do the math and double the bits each and every time you get 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048, 4096, etc. Hope it helps.

For some reason in “texture paint” I’m seeing sort of a “half-and-half” when I click on the color. When I first see it without any changes, one side is white and one side is black. I have yet to hear why this is. Everyone else’s is just like one color. I also do indeed have “donut base” in texture paint on the right hand side but for some reason the actual COLOR of the donut does not appear as shown in the video… It just shows like a paint bucket icon. I’ve already connected everything in the previous “shading” step (including adding the “image texture” node) so I’m completely confused as to what I am doing wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated!🥲
