Advanced Member Shawn Driscoll Posted March 15, 2018 Advanced Member Report Share Posted March 15, 2018 In the old days, I'd load a color photo across my screen and start painting the photo as a material onto my model's surface. How is this now done in version 4.8? The YouTube videos are from 2010 when 3D-Coat was another program practically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Advanced Member Shawn Driscoll Posted March 15, 2018 Author Advanced Member Report Share Posted March 15, 2018 Ok. Will try that. So smart material will always be the go-to tab now for doing this? There is no regular material tab anymore? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, in 4.5, Smart Materials were added, which just extended what MATERIALS could do, rather than replace them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
