Question

Metallic effect on paint layer?

Hey there

 

I am trying to add a metallic effect to my paint layer, but cannot find how to do it, and when I change the slider on the paint layer it does nothing currently (because I am using projection to paint on the model).

 

 

Thanks,

Henry.

Hi

A couple of ways.


Switch to the metallic channel and paint over with metallic set to 1 and all other channels off

 

or

If your painted layer is otherwise transparent,  add a fill layer with only metalness and in masks add a filter with a compare mask. Then set that mask to compare the basecolor channel Constant > Layers below and adjust the constant so only the painted areas are unmasked in the metal fill layer.

You need to change metallic map. White and black color increase or decrease metallic property of material; Choose metallic view and draw on it or add any texture. Hope this help

I don't think I can do this as I painted the thing with projection...

 

So how would I even do what you suggested when I have what I have?
