Press the ‘2’ key on the top row of the keyboard, not the on the number pad.

Hover over the 3D Viewport and press the Tab key to switch to Edit mode.

To get a good, uniform UV that doesn’t overlap, you can follow these steps:Ĭlick on the “UV Editing” workspace button on the Topbar (outlined in yellow in the screenshot above). To do this requires UV mapping,Unwrapping an object is the process of taking the 3D form and converting it to a 2D shape. Want more control over the appearance? You can do that by telling Blender how to map the texture to the faces of the object. For this example, we will name ours “example”. Left-click on the cube and select Materials (the sphere icon located in the bottom right corner).Ĭlick the plus icon (+) to add a new material. Step 1: Create a New Materialīefore you can add texture, you’ll need to assign a material to the object. We’ll use an image texture for our default material, another image texture for a new material, and the default cube as our object. You only need two things:ġ.An image file that Blender supports saved to your computerĢ.An object that will use the material that contains the texture Using image textures in Blender 3.0 is easier than ever. In this article, we’ll show you how to do just that, and as we do, we’ll also introduce you to some of the latest features in Blender 3.0. If you want to showcase your models, textures will make them unique. Whether it’s 3D animation, 3D video games, or 3D visual effects, learning how to texture models is an essential skill for 3D artists. The main advantage of using image textures is the ability to make simple objects (such as geometric planes) look like more complex objects (such as wooden floors). A single material can contain multiple textures that change the overall appearance of the material, and an object can have multiple materials assigned to different parts. In Blender, materials are composed of image textures.
