[@jasond.b-w]

I’m legally blind and the color of the objects in Blender against the background has been a massive barrier to learning the program for me. I’ve been on my ‘first’ project for 2&1/2 years! So many people told me that what I was wanting to do wasn’t possible but I guess I just wasn’t asking right. I’m so glad I found this-thank you SO much!

[@MichaelBullo]

Wow. I’m honoured to have helped you out. The learning curve can be pretty steep with Blender at times, even when you can see everything clearly. It's a fantastic program and I wish you all the best learning it.

[@MichaelBullo]

@jasond.b-w The following may help you better visualise the various faces. Click on the dropdown menu (downward facing arrow) in the upper right corner and activate Cavity. Increase the values for Ridge and Valley.

The armature is in front of the sphere.

[@MichaelBullo]

With an object selected, there are 2 places where you can change color within the Material Properties section of the Properties panel. Changing the color in the Surface section is actually changing the color of the object and will show up in modes 3 and 4 of the Viewport Shading buttons. Changing the color in the Viewport Display section is just changing the color of the object in mode 2 of the Viewport Shading buttons.

Thank you Rowland

i did what you said but when i loaded it up in my game there was no color??

[@MichaelBullo]

Given all the options available I recommend posting in a Blender forum about the optimal way to export and then import into your specific game. Best of luck.

What do you do if 2 of the meshes (models) change color when you just want to change the color of one? When I try to color one of my models both of them are turning the same color

[@MichaelBullo]

You have the same material applied to both objects. You will need to create a new material for one of the objects.

[@smilegrendeTV]

@@MichaelBullo how do you do that?

[@MichaelBullo]

@@smilegrendeTV Select an object and in the Properties panel go to the Material Properties tab (black and red circular icon). In the top section look for an icon with two overlapping squares. When you hover over it will say New Material. Click on it and change the colour.

[@smilegrendeTV]

@@MichaelBullo is there a setting you can do that will automatically put shapes in their own collection? Or a setting that will make it easier to color one shape at a time

I am currently trying to make a horror series and couldnt add colour Thx SO MUCH!!!!

[@MichaelBullo]

Thank you and best of luck with the series

[@Ueq8k3]

How do I get to the properties bit? It's not showing up for me.

[@MichaelBullo]

You should see it by default when you create a new file. If not, click on the icon in the upper left corner of any panel. This will let you convert that panel into any other panel you like, including the Properties panel.

@@MichaelBullo thanks, this worked

@@Ueq8k3 Excellent. Thank you.
