Select your painted object, switch to edit mode, select all the vertices (A key twice). The first thing we need to do is apply a UVMap to our object. This next step is entirely optional, but if you are working with a game engine or another DCC tool that does not support vertex color information, it’s possible you may want to render to texture. Once hooked up, your results should now show up in textured and rendered modes. The Color Attribute is available in the Inputs category. Now open up a Shader Editor window and set your material accordingly: Now that you’ve painted your masterpiece, you may notice if you switch to textured or rendered mode, your masterpiece is gone! No worries, it’s simple enough to fix.įirst select your object and add a material to it. Select Color Filter, then you can select options such as Hue or Brightness, then move the mouse left or right to increase/decrease. The Color Filter tool is a way of making adjustment to the entire image, minus whatever you currently have masked out. The next step is pretty straight forward… set the brush settings you wish, select a colour and paint on your object. Select the Paint option, then in the Tools menu (N hotkey), you will locate a variety of paint settings, such as the new Wetness and Brush tip controls. In Sculpt mode, the new paint tools are located in the toolbar:

Make sure the object you want to paint is selected, then switch to Sculpt Mode: The less vertices, the less detail you can paint, so plan accordingly. To get started with vertex painting in Blender, you are going to need an object with a sufficient number of vertices to paint on. There is an in-depth, step by step video version of this tutorial available here.
Vertex painting lightwave 3d how to#
In this tutorial we are going to show how to use the new painting tools, how to configure EEVEE and Cycles to show the results then finally how to render vertex paint to texture for export to other tools or game engines. Blender 3.2 was just released and among other features the ability to paint vertex directly in sculpt mode was just added.
