The ULTIMATE How to Make a BRAWL STARS SKIN Guide!

[@RussellMidfield]

Try these steps to have the color/texture show up on your model: 1. Select the model. 2. Go up to the tab called "Shading" along the top and make sure you are in "Object" and not "World" or "Line Style" along the top of the window pane. 3. You should see a few nodes (rectangular/square boxes with several words/fields inside them) in the bottom window pane, one bigger one called Principled BSDF that is green in color along the top. 4. Click anywhere in the window pane with these nodes. 5. Press Shift+A, select Search, then type "image", and select "image texture". 6. You should now have a new node called 'Image Texture" that is orange in color along the top. 7. Click on the Open button inside this node, and navigate to the model folder with the .FBX, .PNG, and .PSD files. 8. Select the .PNG file. 9. Now click on the "Color" output field with the little yellow dot inside the Image Texture node, and drag it to the yellow "Base Color" input field of the Principled BSDF. The color should hopefully now show up! I hope that helps!

Bro by accident in shading part of the model i gave random coloring option, it colored the whole colette model in random colors, how to recover from it bro, I am unable to recover from ctrl + Z option too.

[@divedeep700]

Bro is there any way that I can color on the 3D model itself like, selecting the desired faces and color them specifically in blender.

[@divedeep700]

Bro , I am unable to recover the original colette color what to do bro, in UV , the colette poto .png file isn't there,any help here

[@RussellMidfield]

Either just reimport the FBX file or go to the Shading tab, click on the Open Image folder icon in the Image texture node, then navigate to the Collette .png file.

[@divedeep700]

Bro , Please see this message, I need to do this," it's difficult to target newly created 3d objects to color in UV grid bro , isnt there any way to color separately the 3d objects in UV grid like increasing the quality of the grid and coloring them

[@macyocheese6708]

@@RussellMidfield oh, my bad. In the first part of the modeling section in the video, you turned on something that allowed you to create new vertex apart from the model and connect them together to form something new. I tried following it but blender 2.9 doesn't have that extra tab when you go through mesh so I don't know how to activate it. Sorry if I wasn't clear about it before.

[@RussellMidfield]

Go to Edit -> Preferences, then the Addons section, type "extra" in the search bar and activate Add Mesh: Extra Objects, then Save Preferences. Then you'll have the single vertex option. Alternatively you could just add a regular plane in, tab into edit mode and either delete all but one vertex or select them all and merge at centre.

[@RussellMidfield]

In the UV unwrap stage, when you unwrap the new hair you modeled, place the hair UV over where the original helmet UV was. Then, in Krita, just cover up the helmet colouring/texturing on the UV map, and paint in the hair part either in Krita or back in Blender. Hope that makes sense!

Ah I see, yeah the new Colette model they uploaded a few days ago does not have the Image Texture node loaded into the character_mat materal. You will need to do these steps: 1. Select the model. 2. Go up to the tab called "Shading" along the top. 3. You should see a few nodes (rectangular/square boxes with several fields inside them) in the bottom window pane, one bigger one called Principled BSDF, green in color along the top. 4. Click anywhere in the window pane with these nodes. 5. Press Shift+A, select Search, then type "image", and select "image texture". 6. You should now have a new node called 'Image Texture" that is orange in color along the top. 7. Click on the Open button inside this node, and navigate to the Colette folder with the .FBX, .PNG, and .PSD files. 8. Select the .PNG file. 9. Now click on the "Color" output field with the little yellow dot, and connect the yellow dot of the Image Texture node to the yellow "Base Color" input field of the Principled BSDF. The color should now show up.

I would say use an image editor like GIMP or Krita and just cut and paste all of your separate textures into one image file, then scale them so they fit inside a 2048x2048 map without overlapping.

Its a built-in Blender addon that is already installed on your computer, you just need to enable it. Go to Edit-> Preferences -> Addons, type "Extra" in the search bar and then tick the box beside Add Mesh: Extra Objects. Click Save Preferences.

Check the shader editor, you may need to load the texture map into the image texture node.

hey Russell, im trying to make a colette skin but the textures arent showing

[@RussellMidfield]

Try this! 1. Select the model. 2. Go up to the tab called "Shading" along the top. 3. You should see a few nodes (rectangular/square boxes with several words/fields inside them) in the bottom window pane, one bigger one called Principled BSDF that is green in color along the top. 4. Click anywhere in the window pane with these nodes. 5. Press Shift+A, select Search, then type "image", and select "image texture". 6. You should now have a new node called 'Image Texture" that is orange in color along the top. 7. Click on the Open button inside this node, and navigate to the Colette folder with the .FBX, .PNG, and .PSD files. 8. Select the .PNG file. 9. Now click on the "Color" output field with the little yellow dot inside the Image Texture node, and drag it to the yellow "Base Color" input field of the Principled BSDF. The color should hopefully now show up! I hope that helps!

[@maoamks_]

i dont know where the nodes are. I have found the Principled BSDF though

[@RussellMidfield]

Oh ok, so if you see the Principled BSDF, click anywhere in that same window, then press Shift+A on your keyboard. A menu should pop up, select Search, then type Image, then select Image Texture. A new box should appear with an orange bar at the top.

[@zocco6265]

I tryed on colette and is not working:(

[@RussellMidfield]

Tried what? I was able to import it with no issues. Some people have been saying the texture doesn't show up. If that is the case, check the Shader editor and make sure a material is assigned to the model. To material should have an Image Texture Node, with the colette_tex.png loaded.

[@justdesign3736]

Hi , when I import my fbx file to blender the file will look very weird when it was render preview I also change the settings with pressing n ,view ,and change to 0.01 but whatever you preview the model form far or front it also looks like "penetrate ?"I don't what is problem is , I hope the pro can solve my question

[@justdesign3736]

Nope , its little bit same but more weird , I don't I set wrong what settings and I also don't know what problem is

If I design a things on the model I can't see the things maybe some angle I can only see even I render the image also like that

[@RussellMidfield]

Oh weird, is this with the Frank model?

[@RussellMidfield]

Oh I know what the problem is. Follow these steps: 1. Select the Frank model in the viewport. 2. Go to the Material Properties tab on the right hand side. It looks like a red sphere/ball with two red squares, and two black squares on it. 3. Scroll down to the Settings section. 4. Change the Blend Mode to Opaque. It is probably on Alpha Hashed, or Alpha Blend right now.
