Member MirkoH Posted January 6, 2009 Member Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 HellO everyone, I have a very basic question for which i did not find an answer in the help file of 3dcoat (I suppose I was just kind of blind to be not able to find it ;-) ). Which color do I need to use to be able to paint a MaterialTexture (photo of a human head) onto a 3D model? When I use a white color, the texture is way oversaturated. When I use a black color it is much to dark. A mid grey of 128|128|128 seems to be not perfect either :-( Can anyone give me a hint where to find the answer? Thank you.

A mid grey of 128|218|128 seems to be not perfect either :-( Try right-clicking on the color picker (two rectangles) in the lower right. You'll see a "no" circle and slash appear over it, then the material will paint the color correctly. BTW you may wish to check the spelling in your greeting.

Thank you very much! :-) Spelling? - oh yeah. English is not my mother language and I tend to do spelling mistakes quite often. I am sorry!

I am sorry! No prob. I don't mind spelling, a lot of people on here are not native English speakers. I just thought Hello is a better greeting than Hell (the place where bad people go when they die).

philnolan3d Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 No problem, I asked the same question at one point and got that answer from Andrew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
