Member Missy Posted July 16, 2018 Member Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 (edited) I model an object in Blender, exported it to 3DC for voxel painting & texturing. When I export back to Blender, the object is there but not the painted object. Any suggestions please? I am using the 3DC export setup below.

Member knekke Posted July 17, 2018 Member Report Share Posted July 17, 2018 You could check the importOBJ_principledShader.py Addon from https://github.com/knekke/blender_addons. It imports the obj from 3dCoat and creates a principled shader with all the maps connected. cheers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Missy Posted July 19, 2018 Author Member Report Share Posted July 19, 2018 I think perhaps when I imported my mesh from Blender to be painted, I may have chosen the wrong import option. What I have is an object that has not been UV'd & I just want to paint the vertexes & export the painted object back to Blender. Should I use the "Import for Per Pixel Painting" option or the "Import for Vertex Painting/Big Reference"? Also, if I wanted to try the "Simple 3DCoat" add-on, does it work with .obj files?

Member Missy Posted July 20, 2018 Author Member Report Share Posted July 20, 2018 I have tried exporting my mesh from Blender to 3DC as a .ply; added some paint to it in 3DC; when I use Export to Blender, it exports it as a .obj file. Is that supposed to happen? In addition, when I go back to Blender and import the painted mesh, frequently I can't find it on the screen anywhere, even tho it says it's there. I'm spinning my wheels here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
