    As a 2d artist and blender newbie, I like this method because it means I get to use the program I’m already familiar with and I won’t need to redraw the texture every time I use that model. Of course I would probably just stick with mid tones since the direction of light can change depending on the scene/environment I’m drawing. Unfortunately, as a newb, I have no idea how to make UV maps so I guess I need to learn that first lol

    While a tad intimidating seeing you paint, this was very useful. Setting up the workflow is the bigger part of this tutorial in my eyes.
    For those of you using Krita and got confused about the rasterize thing, know that importing the image as a paint layer is the same thing (From what I've looked into) so go to [Layer] then [Import/Export] then [Import] and finally [as Paint Layer] and you're set to continue following the tutorial. ^^

    I am at a loss why you would paint directly onto a 2d uv map. It works ok with a simple model like this, but what to do with models with seams that need to be covered up?
    Or many UV split parts, why not paint directly on the model to avoid dealing with many uv islands and seams?

    • @moltenbolt
      @moltenbolt  5 місяців тому

      I didn't do it in the video, but you can paint past the margins of your UV's, or use a dilation filter to deal with seams and fill the gaps between painted bits. The main reason I use external software is for precise selection tools and speed. Like I said in the video, this is all completely doable in Blender, I'm just showing that using your normal digital painting software for textures, in realtime, is a possibility😁

    • @StevenDiLeo
      @StevenDiLeo 5 місяців тому +2

      @@moltenbolt I appreciate the time showing your workflow! I know you can draw past seams, my concern is when the seam needs to be not seen and the seam might be in a not so great spot. for example let’s say I had a seam going down the middle of a model of a human face. If I draw in 3d, I can paint over the seam no issues.
      Now if I draw in 2d directly over the UV maps, somehow, I need to blend each edge to be able to match up with each other to make it look seamless. Which is very tough to do.
      This is my main concern when introducing this idea of drawing directly over 2d UVs

    • @moltenbolt
      @moltenbolt  5 місяців тому +2

      @@StevenDiLeo 100% it can be tough to line up and blend the seams using a purely 2D approach, even if you are super careful with planning how you unwrap. That's the downside, really - in some areas Blender simply can't compete with Substance Painter and 3DCoat.

    clear and concise video as always, keep up the good work, did not know about the bake features of ucupaint so I'll definitely have to look into that in future!
    one small change I personally use in this workflow is to make heavy use of autosaving, to essentially get 1:1 real time painting from krita to blender (by setting the image texture in blender as the autosave and setting the autosave interval and reload interval to something like 0.3-0.5 seconds), I have unfortunately not found a way to make that work both ways, its also pretty performance inefficient and can lead to bad habits so use this trick with caution!

  • @c47_erik45
    @c47_erik45 4 місяці тому +1

    Its a very good tutorial, but is there also one for objects where you need to make/have seams in places that dont have hard edges aka where both sides of the seam need to match up in order for the seam to not be noticable in the final product? cause if I unwrap a cylinder for example, I have to run a seam at least in one place of the "tube" part, so I then can only texture it in blender in the 3D viewport or would have to use a 3D texturing software like substance painter or very painstakingly match both sides of the seam up in the 2D texturing Programm. So my concrete question is "Is there any way to make the drawing program recognize the seams and continue your stroke on the other side of the seam, even though the the edges of the UV arent touching in the texture, like blender Is doing if you texture in the 3D viewport?" or, "Is there a way to place seams that the UVs are still not distorted or overlapping, in absolutely any situation and for any Object?" Which I highly doubt, but maybe ive been placing my seems wrong all this time.
    Edit: I just noticed that you should be running into that very problem in this video as well, because the shield is a very short cylinder in some way.

    • @moltenbolt
      @moltenbolt  4 місяці тому

      TLDR: Do most of your hand-painting in Blender, then export hand-painted texture for finishing touches in 2D software.
      Thank you for your kind words! To answer your concrete question, as far as I'm aware there is no way to make a 2D program automatically jump from one seam edge to the correct seam edge on a different UV island. For context, my usual process for hand-painting does not use the external 2D method - I usually do most of the hand-painting in Blender where the jump from UV to UV while painting happens automatically, then I'll go in and touch up the final in 2D. This video was just to show how this process can be done in real-time, using entirely free software, and totally in 2D software if people prefer that. Oddly enough, some do.
      I took care to arrange my UV's in as sensible a manner as I could manage before exporting them to the 2D software. There's just no other way. Your UV's need to be legible and organized. In other words, it's a lot of work to set up - but if you paint super fast in your 2D software, and that's your preference, it might be worth doing.
      Hope that answers your question 😁

    Maybe I missed something as a total beginner, but when I exported the baked edges file, it saved it as a PNG file (without giving me any obvious option to name it or change the file type.) So it doesn't update. (Unless I'm meant to paste it as a layer into my map file.) On the other hand, I'm not sure why it was all necessary, since it seems that you can change the edge color and width right in the menu. Otherwise, this has been a super useful tutorial so far, thanks!

    • @moltenbolt

    Hey mate, i've got an issue when installing the auto reload plugin v3.0.3 in blender 4.2.2: There is no such buttons to add my painting software .exe, the "donate" and "check addon updates"-buttons are missing too. Instead there are some more check boxes... Either the newest version works a little different and i cant figure out how or it misses some key functions from the previous plugin you used (v2.0.3).
    I found this workflow very impressive and it could save me a lot of time to have a direct link from the painting software to blender... I would highly appreciate if you could take a look into that if you find the time!

    I have a lot of questions. Can you hand paint normals? Here you didn't need it because you painted your own lighting, however if someone still wants dynamic lighting on their models for better effects they will need normals. Also can you somehow manipulate how the shield gets lit? Thank you.

    • @moltenbolt
      @moltenbolt  4 місяці тому

      All good questions! Since this is a purely hand-painting workflow, there is no dynamic lighting - that's why I used an emission shader setup. All of the light information is painted in and can't be changed without repainting.
      If you want the asset to react to light normally, you'd want a PBR workflow, which is the subject of the tutorial I'm editing right now. The PBR workflow uses the Principled BSDF, so your asset reacts to light and you can hand-paint normals 😁

    Question as a Newby:
    Why do you have "lighting" and those highlights drawn on the shield? It's 3D and you never know where the light will be comming from later, right? (thats what i thought about it)
    So what is the idea behind drawing it? Coudln't figure it out.

    • @moltenbolt
      @moltenbolt  4 місяці тому

      All good, it's a good question. The shading method I am using in this video is "Emissive", meaning that the object doesn't require any 3D lights to show up. This method is used for pure hand-painted assets because it ignores the 3D world's lighting information.
      The method of rendering that Would care about lights is called PBR, or Physically Based Rendering. You can see an example of that workflow here: ua-cam.com/video/8_apXIn0g5w/v-deo.html

    What would your advice be for using this method on a more organic shape with a lot more parts? Like a character with boots, hands, face etc. should I try to lay out my UV's so that they're all "front facing" so when I paint in krita they don't get distorted? or does this method not work too well with more complex shapes

    • @moltenbolt

      This isn't my usual method for texturing because the downside to this method is that you can get lost with the UVs rather easily with complex shapes. It's probably best to do as much texturing/painting as you can in Blender (using Ucupaint to make it easy), then touch up the painting and details in Krita.

    Hey, I worked on an application for hand painting artists like yourself that lets you load up your UV mapped model and assign a KRA or PSD to it. You move the preview window wherever you want on your screen (its always on top) and draw in your painting program. As soon as you hit save in Krita or Photoshop, it will quickly refresh and display it on your model. Let me know if you're interested in giving it a try, would love to get someone testing it other than myself. This works directly with the PSD or Kra, so you can use all of the layering, blending etc tools in Photoshop.

If i'm painting character's legs and go over the edge it leaves jagged edges to the sides of the mesh that turns away from view. Usually in the shapes of polygons or pixelated, even with high resolution image and good uv's.

It just helps to prevent the paint from going over the edges and creating jagged bits.

      @@moltenbolt What do you mean with "connect as a tablet"? It sounds like you aren't referring to simply plugging the tablet through an USB cable into the PC and calling it a day. You mean something that the PC recognizes the tablet not as external hardware (like a phone or media player) but as usable hardware?

      If you mean you want to paint in your painting software on the tablet, and direct Blender to Auto Reload the file from the tablet, that might work. It should, provided the file is a .psd and the PC can find it on the tablet via the USB connection. Hope that helps!

    I’m hoping Blender addresses the texture paint system soon, especially with all the huge updates Blender’s been receiving lately.
    I’d much prefer to paint on the model directly, but Blender needs a massive overhaul in that area. Paint projection for surfaces, a seemingly critical feature is still missing.

      Quixel Mixer is a perfectly good piece of texturing software, and it's free as far as I know, though I don't think it has been updated for some time 🤔 there is also Instamat, which is free and worth checking out. The main reason I love Ucupaint so much is because it has most of the tools I need and it's contained within Blender. Makes the workflow faster 😁
