Problem with painting texture: Blender

So I’ve made this thing in Blender that I need to texture:

FirstImage

I tried to load a texture into the texture paint tab the way I know and everything seemed alright so far.

But when I tried to paint a button on the right-screen this happened:

ThirdImage

The model became colored with white in places that I didn’t want to. So that’s why I’m here to ask you why this happened and how can I fix this?

I may not know why this issue occurs but I have a guess on how to fix it. I apologize if it doesn’t work.
Go to layout - edit mode - button shown on picture - face orientation

If the mesh is red then the textures are inverted which they aren’t supposed to be. Therefore you should flip the normals.

  • Alt+N to flip normals

This picture is just to show inverted normals vs non-inverted normals

In the inverted mesh, the texture always paints on the opposite side of where you’re painting. As for the non-inverted mesh, the texture is painted properly. So, basically you just have to flip the normals in order to paint the textures properly. In other words, that should mean it works once the everything has been flipped

I hope this explanation makes sense and works! I can further explain if you want. Then again, you can probably get much better help from other people.

You may want to try a Blender forum, not the Roblox forums. Or just do an internet search for your issue since there are tons of Blender tutorials available out there.

You’d get much better help there. Imagine the response you’d get asking questions about Roblox Studio on a Blender forum.

This doesn’t seem to work. When I turned on face orientation the whole object was covered in blue like it was supposed to be. I thought switching to red would be the solution but when I started painting it became less accurate than the previous tries.

I did some research before I reported the problem on the DevForum. But nothing related to my problem seemed to appear.

It doesn’t look like you UV mapped the ‘thing’ properly.

I just searched for a basic Texture Painting Tutorial on YouTube. I’ve never done any textures on my meshes, but after watching the video I may start!
