00:00Hello, how are you? Welcome to Blender and Just Add Colour.
00:04Now, what will I be doing here?
00:07In Just Add Colour, what we want to do is
00:11I'm going to be adding a colour, I'm going to UV map it
00:15and we're going to texture it. That's what I'm going to do in this video.
00:19Just to let you know that. So click on the box.
00:23If you want to, go here. Look in the desktop, look at the UV map.
00:27Now, if you click the box and look here, you'll see there's a cross thing in the middle of it.
00:31So I think it's pretty great.
00:35Now, that's the UV map for that. Go here.
00:39Don't forget, we just opened Blender.
00:43Just press UV map and you'll get a map like that. Go here.
00:47Straight away. Calm down. Go export UV map.
00:51It'll say to you where you want to put it. We want to put it in the downloads.
00:55Put it in here. You can put a name if you want to.
00:59I'm just going to call it UV. That's the UV map.
01:03Go here. Save it.
01:07Go here. Texture.
01:11It doesn't have a texture. Look, we can't paint it.
01:15Go in here and paint it.
01:19Let's go to the paint bucket.
01:23We can't throw it on here because it's not part of this.
01:27Go here.
01:31You can't save it. What you want to do is go here.
01:35Give it a name. If you want to name it.
01:39I'm going to give it a name.
01:43Very easy. Very simple. Background.
01:47If you want to, just leave it like that.
01:51Just leave it. Don't touch that.
01:55Go here and save it.
01:59As you can see, it looks like this.
02:03Of course, we want to be able to comment on it.
02:07Take the colour and throw it on there.
02:11Don't forget, this is going to be the texture colour for this box.
02:15When you're happy with it, put a shield on it if you want to.
02:19There's no point in doing that yet.
02:23Now look down here and save it as.
02:27Go to downloads. Don't name it. Just leave it.
02:31Now if you go into downloads, you will have two files in there.
02:35I'll show you.
02:39Right click on it and open it in MSPaintShop.
02:43Notice that this is our map.
02:47In here, if you want to.
02:51Take some colour and put some scribble on it.
02:55And then just close it. Save it.
02:59That's the UV map. Of course, you don't want to draw on the UV map.
03:03This is our texture.
03:07Of course, we can't see the scribble.
03:11Don't worry about that.
03:15Go back to layer mode.
03:19As I showed you, we've got two textures in a download.
03:23We've got a UV map and a texture for it.
03:27Over here, you can only see the texture part.
03:31If it's in object mode, click the object.
03:35Look, you've got a material.
03:39The material is the colour of your object.
03:43I'll show you the texture if you go here.
03:47Put a shield on it.
03:51It's going to ask you where the texture is.
03:55If you want to see, press that.
03:59The texture is the one that's got the colour on it.
04:03Even though it says texture,
04:07as you can see, it does say texture.
04:11In the texture file,
04:15load in the black and white one.
04:23It should say UV map.
04:27Bring in the black and white one.
04:31Go to material.
04:35In the material, you have to press the yellow dot.
04:39Go to image and texture.
04:43It will open here.
04:47Go back to your downloads.
04:51This one is the material.
04:55Open it.
04:59Now that should apply to your action box.
05:03Go to live view.
05:07Where is it?
05:11If we go back into the UV map,
05:15you'll notice that I've scribbled.
05:19You're not going to see it, so don't worry about it.
05:23Put the shield on it.
05:27Ideally, you'll want to save the cube.
05:31Let's export the object.
05:35Leave it.
05:39Take this, this, this and this.
05:43If you want to, you don't have to move it.
05:47Go here and delete it for a moment.
05:51Go to import.
05:55Go to OBJ.
05:59Press this one.
06:03It's painted.
06:07Not only is it painted,
06:11if you go into texture,
06:15you can either do it in here,
06:19or you can do it in MS Paint Shop.
06:23It's harder in here because it's all one colour.
06:27You're not going to be able to see what you're doing.
06:31Let's use a spray can.
06:35I know it's here somewhere.
06:39We'll save that.
06:43You can't really see that on the texture.
06:47What we can do is go here.
06:51Open the new texture.
06:55It is on there, but you can't see it.
06:59You can go here.
07:03Let's say yellow.
07:07Now we've painted the box yellow.
07:11As you can see on the map,
07:15go back here and save.
07:19If we go back to Windows,
07:23we can now see the actual cross.
07:27Of course, you can do on there whatever you want.
07:31If you want to draw, sketch,
07:35or do some kind of artwork like this.
07:39You can do with it whatever you want.
07:43Maybe you don't want to do that.
07:47Let's leave it like that.
07:51Notice how it hasn't changed.
07:55You can load it.
07:59As soon as you load it, it changes.
08:03Of course, we don't want to put brush marks on the cross.
08:07Maybe you want to put something else on there.
08:11You can put text on it.
08:15You don't have to just draw here.
08:19If you go on here and let's say
08:23we want to pick a colour that we can actually see.
08:27Of course, we want to change this.
08:31We can spray paint it.
08:35As you can see, we're actually painting on the texture.
08:39If you're pretty good
08:43at doing some spray graffiti,
08:47of course, if I right click,
08:51you can see how much paint gets
08:55sprayed on the feed.
08:59This is basically how much colour you want.
09:03You want the full colour.
09:07Of course, we can have it like that if we want to.
09:11We can change it to green.
09:15Of course, you don't want it green.
09:19We want a different colour.
09:23Let's try blue.
09:27As I said, we don't want it green.
09:31We might want a bit of green.
09:35Maybe there's a bit of sky here.
09:39As I said, it's up to you.
09:43Now, of course, what you do is go to your image and save it.
09:47Go to image, press save, and it will save the image.
09:51Save it.
09:55If you don't want to make any kind of errors on there, press this.
09:59Left click, hold and drag it.
10:03Left click, hold and drag it.
10:07Close it.
10:11I'm going to show you how to paint in MS PaintShop.
10:15Right click, MS Paint.
10:19You can paint it in Windows PaintShop if you want to paint it in there.
10:23You can also paint it in Blender.
10:27I'm just showing you how to UV map it.
10:31If you want to do it that way, that's great.
10:35If you want to learn a different way, I can also show you that.
10:39As I said, hopefully you know exactly how to do it.
10:43Now you see the image.
10:47We just changed it.
10:51Open the image.
10:55Now the box goes back to reset.
10:59As I said, it's up to you how you want to go about doing it.
11:03I've already got two videos.
11:07Click the box.
11:11Export. Export it back to OBJ.
11:15Right click, delete it.
11:19That is how easy it is to UV map the box.
11:27Let's say you open the UV box.
11:31You're thinking, well, I don't have any maps.
11:35What you've got to do is click this.
11:39Click the box.
11:43If you can't see it, select all.
11:47Select all the box.
11:51It will show you the UV map you've got.
11:55We've already got one, so we've already painted it.
11:59If you don't want that map, you want to start fresh.
12:03Get rid of that.
12:07Now we've got a brand new map.
12:11If you can't see your actual UV map, it looks like that.
12:15Go to OBJ. Click it.
12:19Select all of it.
12:23It doesn't matter what the object is.
12:27A box, a house, a car, a person, a toenail.
12:31Export your map to your downloads.
12:35Save it. I'm not going to save it, because we've already got it.
12:39Give it a name. Call it UV map.
12:43Save it. It's not save it.
12:47It is save it, but it's called export.
12:51What you have to do is come back out of this mode.
12:55You can do it in this mode.
12:59I'm going to go to layer.
13:03Don't forget inside the layer to checkerboard.
13:07Because the checkerboard is black and white, it's going to ask you for the black and white photo.
13:11Just remember the checkerboard is black and white.
13:15Go to download. You want the black and white one.
13:19Load it. It goes here.
13:23This corner one here, material.
13:27That's the texture there.
13:31To load the texture, you have to load the texture.
13:35Press the yellow dot.
13:39It will ask you where is it.
13:43Open it. It just loads your texture.
13:47It's as easy as that.
13:51These are really short tutorials about Blender.
13:55I don't use the basics, so when I show you my templates,
13:59I'm talking about all of the objects you can get out of my objects.
14:03As I said, when I share my own templates,
14:07there's about 30-40 models inside one template.
14:11I do try to cover each topic and each part of it.
