A third grid of 32x32 pixels that incorporates 8 times the 4x4 pixel block from the previous layer and has white lines overlaying the left pixel column and the bottom pixel row, and also different brightness for each block.A second grid of 8x8 pixels that incorporates 4 times the 2x2 pixel block from previous layer and also uses different brightness for each 4x4 pixel block.A first grid of 2x2 pixels that has alternating dark and light pixel colors, so this enables you to count each pixel easily.On a 4096x4096 pixel Color Grid you find:
So how does the “Coordinate Reading” works? The base of the Color Grid is constructed out of alternating pixel brightness and color, just like several different colored Chess Boards overlaying each other. All that helps in painting a 2D texture for any 3D object.
You clearly see the coordinates from the Color Grid and even without known the mapping you would be able to paint a texture for Suzanna - right? You also can see the topography and where the mapping is distorted. This is a Color Grid image that was generated with Blender: With a Color Grid you can help yourselves and even paint a model without knowing its mapping.īut what is a Color Grid texture? A Color Grid texture is an image where each pixel has a visible coordinate that can be "read" from the 3D object by color, index, and counting pixels. And of course it's also for those gifted guys that do have the tools but still don't have access to the 3D model because the authors have not provided 3D templates or the 3D models are simply encrypted and consequently not available. And it's also for those folks that are not that gifted to be able to spend at least 24€ per month for Photoshop CC (or willing to violate copyrights) to paint skins directly on the 3D objects but still need a "tool" to help them painting complex skins. This is especially for all folks that want to paint more complex skins but are frustrated because it's always hard to align edges of logos or designs.
I'd like to share some Color Grid textures to help everyone painting skins.
