Painting from Modeling

[DaveGr]

I upgraded from Version 4.9 to 2022 about a week back, and have created a model in the modelling that I would like to texture in the paint room.

However, I can't seem to find any workflow tips or tutorials for transferring the model to the paint room for texturing and export.

Any assistance in that regard would be much appreciated. 

Thank you all.

If you created a model in the Modeling room, just go to the BAKE Menu and choose which option is best suited for you. This will send a copy of the visible mesh(es) to the Paint Workspace. But first, you need to decide what you want to do about UV's. Do you want to AUTO-UV during the baking process? That is the default option if you have not created any UV's in the Modeling workspace (it has a set of UV tools that are identical to those in the UV room...which is specifically for Paint Room objects). If you have created UV's in the Modeling workspace, then KEEP UV's will be the default option in the BAKING (Import) dialog. 
 

Once the baking is done, your new Paint Object is waiting in the Paint Workspace, ready for you to proceed with texture painting.
