justincrowell 1 Report post Posted August 14, 2017 Hi everyone, I've been using 3DCoat to create UVs for objects built in C4D, and it's a relatively simple process. What I want to do now, however, is texture a pencil. I'm still very unclear about how this process works. If I understand correctly: I should create a base texture (the yellow paint) and fill an entire layer. Then I should make a new layer, and paint in a wood texture near the tip. Then I should make a new layer, and paint in the lead tip. I'm not sure how to do the text. This all takes place in the Paint room, correct? If anyone feels like walking me through how this actually works, or maybe a tutorial that really walks through this step by step (I've watched a ton of tutorials and still really don't understand), that would REALLY help me out! OBJ and reference are attached. Thank you! Justin Pencil.obj Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

justincrowell 1 Report post Posted August 15, 2017 Quick question: what do you use for the wood part? Is that just painted, or is there a wood bitmap in there? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

justincrowell 1 Report post Posted August 15, 2017 Ah, ok. So did you create a Smart Material with that texture, and then paint in where it would go? Thanks again...sorry for the amateurish questions! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Carlosan 2,043 Report post Posted August 15, 2017 For the text I think it is better to add image as stencil. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
