material

How do you guys do your materials while in blender? I feel like the way I’m doing it isn’t right lol.

Materials in blender are for rendering and uv unwrapping

In Unity you have to create a new material for your model

Hopefully that clears things up

gaming that was literally the least detailed responce i ever seen

@snow musk do u still need help or have questions

[snow musk]

Please lol

ok in a hour when i get home

[rich chasm]

First click on the red icon 'material properties'

find basecolor and click on the yellow dot

after clicking the yellow dot, click image texture

click open

You will need to select a picture file, once you do that it will look like this

Click 'UV Editing' when your ready to texture

UV will look like this, you can press '3' to switch to faces which is easier for selecting faces to texture
(I usually dont 'UV UNWRAP" my mesh and skip that, but it can be useful when your trying to do gradiants for textures)

I am straight to the point 😎

dms

hover your mouse over the mesh window, press 'Z' and click material preview

to move the faces on the texture click on the movement tool

press S to change the size of the faces used for the texture\

with S tool, you can color only specific faces if you want which is useful

thats about it i guess for the basics

Yes there are tools on the side bar or you can use the hotkeys: G to Move, R to Rotate and S to Scale

Hold control to move the UV point along the Grid

Shift + S brings up the snapping options

Big * tho

Unity and Blender Materials are completely different

[rich chasm]

no no gaikn g mgaming your dpoing it wrong NO!!!
YOU NEED PICTURES!!!!!!!!! 😡

[halcyon saddle]

while you can make Unity try to recreate your Blender Material it wont be exactly the same

So the Material in Blender is really just to line UVs/ textures up and for neat renders
