Texture

[floral furnace]

This is not the only problem, the mirror painting tool is also "broken"

All this is very strange and I've been trying to solve these problems for more than a week... Do you have a lead on how to get me out of this mess?

[steady field]

why dont you switch to per face uv

instead of box uv

then you can just paint one side , and copy paste to other side

Question 'uv' not found!

- Definition
A UV-map or just "UV" is the information in a model, which parts of a texture are shown on which parts of a model. UVs can overlap and hence cause several parts to use the same area on the texture.

- Editing a UV Map
You can edit a UV-map trough the UV window in the top left.
Make sure to have a cube selected which you want to UV map and freely resize/move the selection box in the UV window.
You cannot resize the UV selection if you're using BoxUV

**- What do the value fields below the UV window mean? **
Per-face uv: The first two values are the x/y position (with 0/0 being in the top left
corner) of the uv map, and the last two values its width and height.
_Box uv: The 2 values are the x/y position of the uv map. The size of the uv-map depends on the size of the respective cube.

- I don't wanna bother with any of that, just let me draw on the model!:
Select all elements (Ctrl+A) and, create a new texture and make sure to selec "Template" as type.
This will create a new texture that will keep already existing texture information, but assigns each element a unique section in the texture.

yeah but if I paint with box uv, I would work around the problem instead of fixing it...

Moreover this model is a java entity so I cannot use the box uv option :/

from what i know

[steady field]

you cannot use per face uv *

[floral furnace]

exactly thx

[steady field]

clear the texture with eraser and re texturing is the only option @floral furnace

[floral furnace]

yeah I think so too... But is it a bug? It's happened to me several times and I'm tired of having to cut hours of work 😦

[woven marten]

can you send a full screen screenshot

[floral furnace]

okay

[steady field]

dont clear full texture , just the part it is giving problem

i think you just did not uv properly

[floral furnace]

I think I have done everything right, the size of the elements does not correspond to that of the uv

[woven marten]

"the size of the elements does not correspond to that of the uv" - theres your problem

if you want to use box-uv, you cannot do that

element sizes must match uv sizes

[floral furnace]

but then when creating the texture, the size of the uv should automatically match with that of the elements, right?

[woven marten]

can you send the model

[floral furnace]

okay

[woven marten]

works fine

how are you creating the texture

oh wait i see

theres your problem

box-uv does not support decimal sizes

[floral furnace]

oh, that must be it 🤔

nope the problem still persists...

[woven marten]

even when you regenerate the uv?

[floral furnace]

thank you! indeed it was necessary to regenerate the uv
