Texture Painting - Quick Start Guide - Blender

[@DenBlackburn]

I love it when people have sense to make a video tutorial, and get straight to the point. Thanks so much Grant for sticking to the point, please keep up the great work.

[@eno_one4106]

That hammer is so low poly, yet your texture painting is so amazing that it covered it up Also the explanation is short, simple, to the point, and easy to remember!

[@axos3130]

it is not low poly, its appropriate amount of polys for the art style there are lots of assets you think are high poly but actually almost no assets are high poly, tons of assets are super SUPER low poly because of preformacne reasons and the fact that all 3D rendering has evolved to not need high poly.

[@gdog8170]

@@axos3130 I don't think this particular asset used baking from a high poly object like most do, I think what he meant is that grant abbitt got really got detail with just hand painting alone

[@emackenzie]

​​@@axos3130 "appropriate amount of polys for the art style" doesn't negate the fact that it is, in fact, a low-poly model Eta: after counting the faces in the uv window, it's got like 130 tris. That counts as low-poly for an object like this

[@halfbakedproductions7887]

This tutorial actually works and makes sense. Blender loves to totally gut and rebuild the UI every 39 seconds or so, hence older tutorials are no longer valid because you need to click on things that literally no longer exist. Even the _official_ tutorials have the same problem.

[@TommyLikeTom]

that is very true, and it gives creators a great excuse to keep making tutorials! This weakness is a byproduct of blenders greatest strength which is just their ability to progress without baggage.

[@susgus13]

I am having the same problem with this tutorial lmao

[@koleka3233]

[@m3makesgames]

adding a texture slot is done at the TOP of blender now. why it's no longer in the details panel. who knows.

[@dokchampa9324]

@@m3makesgames Thank you!!! that's what I was looking for now, doesn't help that there are several other windows labeled as "texture" lol

Thank you! Straight to the point! Some people talk 15min and not going anywhere, but you are less talk and more action! Great!

[@LishaV81]

This guy is THE BEST Blender teacher EVER. I've watched so, SO MANY Blender tutorials and they all move too quickly, and don't explain things in a way that helps me understand why I'm doing what I'm doing, so I paid for a character design course on Udemy and Grant was the instructor! His voice is so soothing and he explains everything SO well that I can actually remember the use for certain nodes and such. Absolutely love you, Grant!!

[@grabbitt]

Thanks 😀

[@sivutietuote]

Easily the clearest and most simply tutorial to texture painting in tube. Thank you for that!

[@Roboticdock]

The “island margin” feature is amazing! Just learned it. Thanks.

[@daleanderson1727]

It might be a year or so since you first published this tutorial but it still stands up and everything you said worked just fine. Thanks for the help.

FOR EVERYONE, THERE IS A 4.0 VERSION IN THE DESCRIPTION!!!! DONT BE LIKE ME AND WASTE TIME TRYING TO FIND TEXTURE SLOTS

[@SynasterHax]

Thanks!

[@TransGuyShane]

This was so simple and well explained ♡

[@noobandfriends2420]

One thing I don't like about some of these tutorials is the use of the workspace tabs at the top. What the tutorial will fail to mention most of the time is what going into a tab does. When you go from Layout into something like Texture Paint, you will automatically be brought into the Texture Paint Mode. You can only do certain things while in this mode, such as see your Texture Slots for that object. If you're not told all the little changes that occur while switching between tabs at the top, you will struggle to figure out where menus and functions go if you accidently tab into edit mode and back into object mode. This is like my 5th time trying to navigate texture painting because of all the set up you need to do before you can even start the painting process.

[@Mocorn]

That is one of the things I like about his tutorials actually. He tries to incorporate the workspace tabs because that is the direction that blender is going. Like you say there are many things that happen automatically when switching tabs. In the texture paint tab for instance, when you create new diffuse, spec, metallic or roughness maps they are automatically connected to the correct sockets for the material as seen in the shading tab. There are many such little things with more to come. Grant embraces this and I appreciate that.

[@marconylara1272]

Well he warned at the beginning that the tutorial wasn't for complete beginners and to make sure you understood the interface, you're comment makes no sense in this specific video

[@abraxysjax6630]

I love all your videos and courses! You are an amazing teacher.

[@Anton314100500]

Thank you for this lesson. I did the same actions by myself and nothing worked, but following your video, a made textures work. Great job!

Amazing man, I have to level up my texture paint skills. For now, I use palettes for low poly mobile assets. Btw. what's the most efficient unwrap for mobiles? I heard that smart UV unwrap is going hard on the engine.

[@grabbitt]

Smart UV is fine

[@grabbitt]

@hjf4a2 I suppose but not everyone can afford it. But yes blenders texture painting has been a little neglected

[@meatisomalley]

edit: phew, I figured it out. I had to delete my brush and add a new one. When I paint, I start wth a base color and then paint another color on top it it, and the painted color always appears darker than it should. This is using the 'mix' setting of the brush and I can't figure out what's wrong. When I use the fill tool, the color changes correctly but not when painting.

[@terciofelipeoliveirafrance2228]

Figured it out. Went into Pref/themes/uv/image editor and scrolled down to Texture paint/modifiers UV's, then picked a bright color.

if you are using a HIGH poly build set the pixel value LOW!!! (1-3) my blender just crashed and i lost 2 hours of work.

Where is the tutorial on the full hammer detailing? Im curious on how you did it! Great video :)

[@CyberSinZProductions]

I'm not sure whats wrong. I press Smart UV Project. It does It's thing but as soon as a click texture paint the projection disappears. I looked for the image and It's not there either???

sounds like a bug

1:45 just fyi if it does overlap, you can go in the uv editor press select, click overlapping and it will show you all the overlapping, just move them, use proportional editing (select connected only) to make easier

[@yukgkuyrgvluuh]

oh my goddd thx very much

[@xnet-pvzok728]

I like this format. I miss the livestreams though

[@Soumein]

I must've done something wrong. I've unwrapped and got a texture base color, but my brush doesn't do anything. It's set to Mix, has a decent size, has a different color, and Strength is a 1.00, but nothing paints on. I'm able to use the Fill tool, though. EDIT - For some reason, Blender didn't assign a Texture to the Material. After doing that, it works.

I'm so glad you posted this. Been trying for an hour to get it to work. Thanks.

[@slushiefurrz]

1:52 - If anyone is struggling here because they are unable to find the "texture slots" section of the right menu, look up at the row of options near the top of the workspace (the row just above "texdraw" "mix" "radius (scale)" "strength (scale)"). Mine is right there between "view" and "masking"
