Wood Works
Can I use custom textures in Wood Works?
The color textures are fully paintable. The wood bump textures are currently locked, we are looking to expose controls for textures in the next update.
Can I use Blender built-in paint brushes with the tool?
Yes! Wood Works functions using Blender’s texture painting context menu and therefore - all brush types and options available when using texture painting can be used with Wood Works
Can I use more than 4 layers in Wood Works?
Currently Wood Works supports up to 4 layers which can be painted in a similar fashion to other 2D painting software. If you need more granular control, we recommend splitting your mesh into separate objects after which you can use 4 layers for each object.
Can I use Wood Works on characters and other deforming objects?
The painting mode can be used on characters before rigging. However, the carving feature is not compatible with deformations because it automatically re-meshes objects. During this process the skinning information is lost.
Will I have to UV my object before using Wood Works?
No, Wood Works handles all the UVs and material application so that you, the user, can enjoy the painting without having to deal with the boring parts of setting up and texturing a model.
