Hello, thanks for stopping by.
I need help in blender. I have a gray mesh. I need to texture it. I have the UV map unwrapped and colored it so I can reupload the map to blender, I have no idea how to do this. If anyone could help me with reuploading the UV map to blender and make it appear on my mesh, that’ll be awesome. If you have any questions let me know, thanks.
Alright, Can I see a picture of what it looks like currently?
Here is a quick walk-through on how to do it:
I am going to assume you have already completed this stage however I will continue to demonstrate.
To unwrap a mesh, you can do it two ways in Blender. Either select all of the faces and click U > Smart UV Project
or
highlight edges and mark a seam, you can mark a seam by hitting CTRL + E > Mark Seam
After completing this task, you should have your mesh unwrapped in your UV Editing viewport.
To export a mesh, find these tabs in your UV Editing viewport.
Open up any photo editing software and import the image. I will be using photoshop.
Make sure to color any edits on a new layer
Once you are ready to import your UV edit back into Blender, go to the Materials tab on your context menu and select Material at the top.
Click the circle next to Base Color to open up a menu.
Select Image Texture from the menu.
Click Open and find the PNG file that you just edited.
You should now have your model with a texture on it!
Note: if you change anything on the UV map of your model after texturing, you will have to redo the texturing process so make sure you only export your UV map when the model is completely done.
