Title: Painter
Post by: normhol on December 11, 2008, 08:55:53 PM
OK...I got the painter shader working, but after doing some test shading, I lost it all when I rendered. How do I keep the changes I've made from disappearing ?

You have to plug the painted shader into a surface layer as blend shader to get visible result... (you can of course plug it into other shaders as well.)

Hi,
seems you didn't stop the painting mode.

Hi,
Blend by shader and blend as coverage are both on and painting was stopped.

Here are screenshots. It worked when I put the painters below the surface layer.  It also worked with the multi shader below the surface layer

If there is a hard way, I'm usually the one to find it.[Just like the pit in the cherry pie...LOL]
Thanks for the responses.
