[@Th3GameDev]

You should definitely show us how you made the grass would love to see the process

[@fadhil4008]

Yeah, looking forward to the next part of this tutorial

[@oky9013]

Same here :3

[@Celicnibrk]

yes please

[@elideeart7239]

I know this is an older tutorial, but I wanted to say I remember seeing your work on a bunch of GameDev tv courses I was going through. Just like with those, you have a very clear and easy to follow teaching style that I really appreciate. I've tried to get into blender several times over the past ten years or so, and your tutorials are the first ones that haven't left me feeling confused or frustrated

[@adamgreenspoon6467]

Please show us how you did the grass, love how it all came together.

[@danielleh3012]

"And then you can render out your scene and be very proud of yourself." :D haha I love it!! My favorite step.

[@ryuujiwood7420]

This dude's edge flow has me SCREAMING it is so clean

[@cathalk]

Poke Faces, isolated paint areas, and CTRL + to grow selections are my new takeaways from this tut. Thanks Grant!

[@gosia_kmiec]

I'd love to follow along on how you make the grass and the final render with the floating particle animation, that would be amazing!

[@Celicnibrk]

i second this

[@haraldgundersen7303]

Falling in love with this kind of style in VR use...

[@ayseoduncu2285]

Thanks for all of the lessons Grant, I really learn a lot from you and develop myself! You are the best!

[@alexbluez7632]

one of the best teachers out there! Thank you! Great tutorial as always!

[@ladymayb.]

These hand painted textures are so pretty! Love the colors, they really give it a magical feel! I'd love to see how you made the grass and also the final render with the little glowing particles floating around it. Many thanks for sharing these tutorials, they are always interesting and inspiring.

[@BlameAva]

Thank you so much for yet another excellent tutorial. The mushroom came out so beautiful and I learned so much from watching this 🍄

[@reinholdamanpal4735]

This is what I love to see. Pure skill and a good way to teach everyone how to use Blender in very creative ways. I kept follow your videos and all of them helped soo much. You are epic sir! 💙🛡

[@johndellow5088]

Love your lessons, am learning a lot. Thank you.

[@erniesulastri7166]

This is so pretty! I struggled to learn texture painting in 3d blender despite looking for beginner's tutorial and this tutorial has made me understand better! Thank you for not rushing thru it and caring to explain the steps and the useful tips. Also, your soothing voice reminded of Neil Buchanan, my all-time fav kid show of Art Attack.

[@doctorfear9241]

Could you recommend some texture painting tutorials?

[@shaydensaldanha711]

quality tutorials as always grant. Thanks a lot.

[@Shadowstorm5400]

I've never seen the poke faces tool used before and that just blew my mind I've been doing that the hard way all this time and then to top it off the ctrl + to grow the selection is another thing i wish i knew sooner thank you for this!

[@DarkDao]

Really like such videos, from 0 to 100%, even if the end goal is to show only painting. Big thumbs up.

[@dickyafisena8595]

this is beautiful . thanks for the turtorial 🔥🙌

Thanks Grant, you got me into modeling stuff in blender but i still have a long way to go :D

[@johndeggendorf7826]

Wow…seeing you work, everything by hand and artistic intuition…it just looks like a work of art. Procedural methods imitate art, but it’s not quite the same. ✌️🍷🎩🎩🎩

[@theHazzel_]

This is art.

[@shia8938]

Hope you made more of these. Simple objects and texture painting...

[@PokettoMusic]

this was the video I needed to understand texture paint 😅 so much time spent being confused 😭

[@AndromedaBeta]

Another good & cute tutorial. Tnx, Sir.🍻

[@crystal3d374]

Excellent 👍

you are the bob ross of blender texture painting 😌💆‍♀🎨🖌

[@WaterShowsProd]

Looks delicious.

[@AngelCnderDreamer]

I def learned a lot from this video, I've been using Blender for years and I had no idea you could do that in painting mode! O-O Wish I had known this sooner... would of saved me a lot of time. Btw great video, I'd love to see a tutorial on grass. ♥

[@Alloniya]

Beautiful

[@surendars7036]

Thank You GA

[@smoke12k64]

Was this a texture tutorial or a art lesson XD incredible work hopefully I'll be trying this and wish for the best of luck that I get it right great work and am looking forward to future vids :D!!

[@zclchan2210]

Idk why you are underrated

[@TheMikolasZuza]

I'm sure I'm not the first one the make the comment, but with your soothing voice, watching you paint really reminds me of Bob Ross. So relaxing to watch you gradually add shading and little details :)

[@johndeggendorf7826]

Yeah…he gets that a lot! But it’s true. ✌️🍷🎩

[@originalcharacter2470]

Such a pretty toadstool. I think it would be itneresting to see the glowy markings on different layer so they can actually glow.

[@Xograch]

The way you tell everything reminds me of Bob Ross. Great tutorial

[@koljak9395]

This was really fun to follow along! I love the combination of modelling in 3D and handpainting :) Was a bit bummed out by all the artifacts Blender introduced while painting, sometimes I discovered a polygon apparently painted through on the opposite side of the toadstool I was working on, which was then pretty hard to fix (with occlude and backface culling turned on).

[@koljak9395]

Just found out why: when painting on the edge of the texture image, the brush wraps around and also paints on the opposite side - into some unrelated polygon. Should have left enough space all around!

[@minot0_]

im really bad at texture paint ._. maybe i should stick to modelling anyways your toadstool is very impressive grant!

[@k3dex171]

you are best

[@papasalvo]

Honestly ur the UK bob ross of 3d art. I just love how you will say things like "Theres a little bit of a glitch here but thats okay" in such a calm and warm mannor I very much enjoy your content and wish for you to continue. If you were looking for a new video idea there has been something I havent been able to find content for. Making stylized textures/materials in blender. Im pretty new so the best Idea I had was take a drawing and using one of your old videos turn it into a PBR texture but IDK if thats the best method or if there was an easier way with better results. Came out looking pretty decent to me but again im a novice so what do I know lol

[@grabbitt]

Do you mean making pbr stylized textures?

[@papasalvo]

@@grabbitt yes. I looked for that on youtube the only people who make this kind of content is stylized station but they use substance painter. SO IDK if there is a way to replicate what they do in blender. But everyone in blender that shows hot to make materials always uses realistic materials never stylized so I was starting to thing it just wasnt a thing then i found ur video on how to make my own PBRs figured I'd give it a shot with an illustatrion I had found of tree bark and it worked pretty decent

[@Lilaclightning12]

Try adding a solifiy modifier if some parts of the toadstool dont work well

[@SilverRiMiX]

For those who are using 4.0, Texture Slots is now at the top horizontal bar beneath Shading, Animation, Rendering, etc. Also, The shortcut for color picker is Shift X, not S, and you have to hold Shift X while picking your color. The color wheel is now hidden and lies in its own tab beneath brush settings. I'll add anything else that is especially hidden if I come across more in this tutorial.

[@fairchildyt]

I would love to see a grass tutorial!!!

[@magnusm4]

3:30 That's a really nice trick. I've always been annoyed at how low poly pixel games can make round shapes look so smooth with less polygons. If you look closely you can see the few edge of the top as here but you can't tell the rest how it looks smooth.

[@borazan]

The color palette picker mentioned around 9:54 (s+left click) got moved to [(shift+x) + left click] recently

[@GAMESCREENs]

Do you know you are the best teacher?

[@RaiRai7331]

Would love a grass tutorial :)

[@SheCreatesStuff2]

I love your tutorials. Thank you so much for spending your time creating them! By the way, I don't see the mushroom model link. Did I overlook it?

[@grabbitt]

Thanks i'll put that in hte description shortly :)

[@zadokallen7640]

Reminds me of Rayman 2 assets!

[@newdeviceinformatica1]

Loved this tutorial and want to make a greedy request for the grass and particles tutorial.

[@grabbitt]

Already done👍🙂

[@coreys2686]

If you have Node Wrangler activated, pressing [shift S] with a node selected will allow you to change or Shift to a different node, it looks like the "Add Node" menu

[@grabbitt]

Indeed I don't won't to make the Rotorua's to long with extra details👍🙂

[@twobrothers1877]

Great tutorials! Do you have any videos where you explain how to export your mesh with the texture paint applied to be used in Unreal or Unity?

[@grabbitt]

Yes just search my channel for unity and I think I have one

[@ilzogoiby]

GRASS PLEASE! Great video, BTW.

[@angryITGuy]

I like this video a lot as it's a good intermediate workflow. I can see why you need to use ctrl-i to quickly swap between selectable areas for painting. But if you have more than 2 areas, it becomes quite tedious. Is there a shortcut to optimise this flow ? Rather than 1/ctrl-tab, 2/select edit mode, 3/select new area (or vertex group), 4/ctrl-tab, 5/ select texture-paint and resume painting.

[@grabbitt]

Not that I know of.

[@blomma4304]

really enjoyed this tutorial. Im wondering if its possible to create the exact same painted mushroom in multiple different color variations ? How would you go about that ? Can I create multiple materials or layers and combine them later, like we can do in procreate ?

[@grabbitt]

Use the hue and saturation node

[@Twistoon]

Hi Grant, thank you so much for these texture painting for games tutorials, I learnt a lot here. When I import my own models into unity, I use the built in unlit shader, but there is a need for some shadow to create more depth, however, when I turn off the unlit shader, the texture paint just doesn't look good any more, combined with the polygons of the model. Do you have any tutorials that mention how to render these objects in game please? Thank you :)

[@grabbitt]

Try different shader options

[@Twistoon]

Thank you :)

[@Awarus]

19:45 How you drawing that so smooth? I can't do that for some reason and just getting marker style. What's falloff you used? At this moment my work just may be trashed

[@grabbitt]

graphics tablet pen pressure

[@jenji1120]

I'd love to see the grass too, but what about the little sparkles around the mushroom? The ones shown at 32:44

[@grabbitt]

I'll do those as well

[@ilhanaydn9485]

Can you make a tutorial of how u make the final render with the object spinning with a custom background please. (Or even a shorts video if its too short for a video.)

[@grabbitt]

See my quick tips playlist

[@haraldgundersen7303]

So when importing into Unity URP, would you use Unlit shader and generate textures from this painted one, with Materialize?

[@grabbitt]

Yes but you don't need any other maps with this type of model

[@bidoof22]

For anyone wondering, followed along with blender 3.7 and it still holds up

[@SilverRiMiX]

Doesn't with 4.0. Many placements and hotkeys have changed. Very annoying to pause every 20 seconds to figure out what he wants us to click or press because it either completely moved places or was replaced with something else.

[@blendertotrainz2326]

I notice you rotate the model with ease in texture paint mode. I find that in texture paint mode i can only rotate using the number pad keys, which is not a smooth rotation. What were you using ?

[@grabbitt]

Just middle most button. I set my pen button up to it

[@blenderer3191]

Not the same thing as layers but one get do multiple images, one for base, one for details etc and merge/bake them together afterwards.

[@grabbitt]

Yes true

[@solaire7046]

What would happen if you were to subdivision surf the model after all the texture painting?

[@grabbitt]

It distorts slightly

The 3DConnexion Space Navigator would work really well with texture painting the mushroom cap. You still have it?

I am a noobie of a couple of months. I can never get that first bevel that you do on the mushroom cap. No matter how many times I have tried it will not bevel. What am I doing wrong? I have a screenshot but not sure how to send it.

Can someone please help? I spent like 5 hours following this and texturing a UV map, then randomly for some reason I did control z and the entire UV map got cleared out. I have no idea how to get my work back, the recovering from auto saves does not seem to be working. :(

[@grabbitt]

That's very strange as it should save in the auto save at least. Not sure why that's happened check the object data properties to see if it's still there

what a waste of texture space you can split your uvs more than that, it wont affect the final result

[@MidoriMushrooms]

I love your work but I don't know if I can continue to follow someone who supports crypto/NFTs in good faith. There are very good resources online explaining why this is a dangerous and damaging avenue, and I would beg you to reconsider before you fall too far down a rabbit hole. The crowd for this content are cult-like fanatics as well. I will probably get absolutely bombarded with hate for speaking up about it, unfortunately. There's a Folding Ideas video about the subject if you want a well-researched take though.

[@grabbitt]

not sure what you mean. I dont support NFT's where did you hear that?

[@grabbitt]

can you tell me where you heard that so i can put a stop to the miss information
