Member tcoursey Posted February 17, 2017 Member Share Posted February 17, 2017 Using Demo to understand the 3DC engine! Just got the correct exports for Octane out of 3DC, use the Arnold export not the Octane Preset. As I import an object to paint on I tried a CHAIR. It has two surfaces...metal legs and fabric top. I see both in the Surface Materials TAB. But using the layers for doing the actual painting I don't see a way to reference them. So I paint as close to each surface as I can, treating it as all one LAYER. This can't be the best way.... What am I missing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Contributor Tony Nemo Posted February 17, 2017 Contributor Share Posted February 17, 2017 Thanks for the Arnold tip! You can also paint on the UV map in the Texture Editor (very useful for erasing mistakes). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Mr.Panka Posted February 17, 2017 Member Share Posted February 17, 2017 Can you use Layer Blending -> Clip Mask Layer for this ? I don't remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member tcoursey Posted February 17, 2017 Author Member Share Posted February 17, 2017 I found a way, not sure if it's best practice... I can turn off the eyeball on the Object Layer...then go and FILL Entire LAYER and it will just fill that visible object. A decent work around...again not sure if it's the best.

Member Mr.Panka Posted February 17, 2017 Member Share Posted February 17, 2017 (edited) Oh yeah that's what I did too. I did like a clown pass by hand, with each object on a layer, like you did. after that, you can use the clip mask layer. it's a very "2D/photoshop" workflow. But there should be a way to just clip mask layer to an surface or an objet... IF this option is not in 3DC yet, I read than the team is suppose to work on this part of the software in the near futur, so we could send an e-mail to Andrew.
