Curvy 3D Forum

There are two options for painting. You can either use the Sculpting Paint Brush and colour the surface by vertex colours, or you can use the Texture Paint Brush and paint onto a 2D texture that is wrapped around your model.

Vertex Colour painting is handy as you don't need to setup UV coordinates on the surface. Texture Painting - or loading a ready made texture onto a model - is a good way to add quick fine details without needing a high resolution mesh, although for complex models you may need to use the Texture/UV mapping tools to setup UVs before painting.

Hello, Mr. Simon! I'm painting pink on the blue model, but because the base color is blue, the pink doesn't show up. How can I avoid being affected by the base color? Thank you! The software used is curvy3d5.0

If you use the menu "Mesh/Join" the current diffuse colour will be baked into the mesh. After "Join" you will be able to paint vertex colour pink and it will replace the blue.

Alternatively use "Surface/Colour Flood Fill" to set the vertex colour to blue all over, then paint with the "Paint Surface Colour" brush
