I’m designing an avatar for a friend’s game and I’ve spent several hours trying to figure out how to paint an eye onto a sphere. All I can find on the subject are 40 minute tutorials on Blender paint from version 2.4 - 2.7 that skip several steps in the current release. I cant seem to figure it out on my own. How do i go about painting 3 distinct circles on a sphere? My goal is for the eye to look like this http://endthelie.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Great-Horned-Owl.jpg
Thanks for the consideration and any help you can give.
Have your eye image, sphere (Cube with Subsurf lvl 2 Applied; To Sphere, 1 in edit mode herein example) unwrapped and texture to paint on ready (toolshelf will have option Add on Slots tab). Choose your image as a paint texture for the brush and set Brush Mapping to Stencil.
Position and scale stencil and Sphere using mouse buttons and Shift, Ctrl, Alt, then paint.
I’m finding it difficult to find a tutorial that simple that is also for the current release of blender. I’m filling in the skipped steps as best i can, but i cant manage to do it.
