If colour bleeds out across, or is painted to, this area it effectively edits, in part or whole, the mask. Generally speaking Minecraft skins include a mask that essentially nulls the unused areas of the image. Texture Paint and general brush options are also accessible in the editors Sidebar (largely replicating what’s typically displayed in the Active Tool panel to the right of the 3D Viewport). To access, click View » Sidebar, or press N. Texture Paint tools are also accessible from the editors Sidebar. To address this Anti-Aliasing can be disabled, and Falloff can be set to Constant. Either way Anti-Aliasing should be disabled – Advanced » Anti-Aliasing, and Falloff set to Constant – Falloff » Constant.īecause Minecraft images are so small ordinary brush settings can be difficult to use. In other words, painting a pixel dead-centre will paint a relatively uniform, clean colour, whereas painting to one side may result in bleed, which in-turn means aliasing has to be used depending on the strength of that overflow. When painting, although Anti-Aliasing and Falloff may be disabled/set, Blender will still attempt to blur or alias strokes depending on a given pixels proximity. Make sure to set the correct image to be painted as the Texture Paint editor can be used independently of whatever is selected in the 3D Viewport or Material Proeprties. To do this click the Browse image to be linked button and select the image to be painted from the list, e.g. Texture Paintīecause the Texture Paint editor can be used independently of whatever is selected or shown in the 3D Viewport, allowing for any image to be painted at any point in time, ensure the correct image is displayed in Texture Paint’s workspace. This makes image appear ‘clean’ (pixelated) matching Minecraft’s graphic style. To make skin painting easier, in Material Properties set the Texture Interpolation mode to Closest. Texture Interpolationįor each material being painted, ensure Texture Interpolation is set to Closet (default is Linear) as this replicates the pixelated appearance of Minecraft image assets, making it easier to discern what’s happening as the skin is painted – this can be accessed in Material Properties clicking the Base Color heading/label. 200KB | *.blend, *.png, *.psd).ĭesign note:while it is possible to paint Minecraft player skins in Blender, the tools and brushes available in Texture Paint workspace are not as comprehensive as might be available in a dedicated photo or image editor.

For this the template image mapped to the model is all that’s needed but it does need to be properly UV Unwrapped and mapped to the character.ĭownload: Katsbits – Minecraft Skin (c. Following on from the first part of “ Making a Classic ‘Steve’ Minecraft Character in Blender” we take a look at using that rigged and textured character to paint a custom Minecraft player skin with the Texture Paint tools.
