Thanks for another great tutorial! Just a little tip from the addon developer here, for those base color of green and yellow, rather than using texture paint fill, you can use solid color layer with color ID mask for assigning faces in edit mode into a different colors. It's easier to do and even more non destructive since you can always change the solid color anytime. You can see the examples of how to do just that in my channel in the video 'Painting anime eyes demo'.

I've been doing 3D animation, modeling, photoshop and illustration work since 1990... photoshop was just a baby then! I've used many different 3D tools (3dsMAX, Maya, Softimage, Cinema, formZ, EIAS, etc etc) Ive worked in game, feature film and commercial capacities. Using blender for the past few years, it has the worst most confusing disaster of a paint system I have ever seen. Ucupaint looks like a breath of fresh air and I look forward to putting it through the gauntlet of tasks with extensive work.

This is awesome at this point you practically don't need SubstancePainter at this point and can do almost everything inside blender. Thank your for showing me this.

Excellent video. You not only cover what you need to do, but put in reminders for turning off brush masks which would certainly trip up new users and cause them to pull their hair out. Thanks so much for showing us how powerful this is and doing a lot of work to make it clear and easy to understand.

THANK YOU. I really didn't want to spend $50+ a month on 3D Substance Painter, as I'm a super new user to Blender and I couldn't justify the cost. This is a huge help, and your process is excellent. Thanks for taking the time to show it properly including all of the menu options (too many other tutorials rush through that stuff). Appreciate it!

Yooooooo this is crazy and I never knew that you could do something like this with Blender! Thank you for this tutorial as I am also working in Unreal and always thought I just had to have substance painter for this kind of material control. Definitely subscribing for more!!!
