![]() Just because a software has become what some have come to term “industry standard” means nothing really… Sorry to see that the same flaws are still in blender as of 2.77aīlender is a different software than other softwares… Some of it seems perfectly logical, but I doubt a new user would ever imagine that saving the blender file would actually delete your the texture painting work. If you want to texture paint another part of the object or another object, repeat all the above to create a new, distinct image for that, too. If you want to paint another texture on top of this, repeat all the steps above to create a new, distinct image for it. You must save these separately by clicking this Save All Images button, every time you decide want to keep your work. Saving is not saving, when it comes to texture painting, it seems. If you don’t click the Save All Images button, blender won’t save your painting, no matter whether you hit CTRL S or not. It’ll save your texture painting to the image file you created. Now that you’ve saved the texture paint image, you can return to the Texture Paint view, do some painting, and, in the Tools pane on the left, you can click the Save All Images button. You wouldn’t know until the next time you open the. It won’t show any sign that it deleted your work. Unless you do this, blender will delete your texture painting each time you save the blender file with CTRL S (CMD S on Mac). Your texture painting will eventually be saved to this separate image file, on your computer (not in the. Then you have to go to another view, called the UV/Image Editor, then click the Image menu, and choose Save Image. You’ll see a popup pane where you decide the images size (that’s a topic for another time, if you need help with that). Select the Slots tab, then look near the top for a pulldown menu that probably says “Material” but might say “Image.” Make sure “Image” is selected, then click the New button below “Canvas Image” in the same pane. Do it in the Tools pane on the left when you’re in Texture Paint view. To texture paint, you must tell blender to create a blank texture first. In this example I've unwrapped an object with a large amount of faces and set all the faces to overlap, as you can see it results in a white background.I must open the UV/Image Editor, and then put my cursor in its image window, or else the Alt-S shortcut won’t work. The second cause of this may be that we have many overlapping faces, while the UV Editor geometry is slightly transparent if we have too many overlapping faces it will cause the background to be completely covered. This first cause of these may be similar to the Image Texture not being visible, make sure you linked the correct Image in the UV Editor. The UV Editor background is whiteĪnother issue we could have is that the background is showing as white, there can be a couple reasons for this. In fact, it is quite likely that it will be used by multiple image textures. We can use the UV map with any image texture in the shader editor. The image in the background doesn't have anything to do with the UV map either other than being used as reference.
