In both cases you will first need to 'unwrap' the surface of the object, a process which can be compared to removing and flattening the peel of an orange. There are two ways to paint your 3D object. If you want to be able to have more freedom in your painting, then 3D painting is a good option - it lets you paint as if you were using a paintbrush or airbrush. If all you want to do is apply a solid colour to your 3D object or to certain faces of your 3D object then see the 'materials' page, not this one. It shows the head being given seams manually before being unwrapped, which is advisable if you want to paint directly on the unwrapped UV image. Like the previous one, it shows a combination of face-by-face coloring and texture painting with a brush. It uses the same automatic unwrap that is used in the first video.įinally, this Vimeo video is shorter in the sense that it is 14 minutes, but some parts are speeded up. This video is 24 minutes longer, a bit longer than the one above, because but it also shows that texture painting can be combined with face-by-face coloring (adding slots and additional materials).
