Paint has no effect

Hi,

I tried to test paint tool in Unreal 5.4 . I placed a material in a cube and tried to paint but it does not paint anything, why is that ? I attached the settings

You didn’t choose a channel, and remember to hold SHIFT while trying to paint… :slight_smile:

Also, you need a reasonably high poly mesh to paint, and the default chamfer cube is not ( I’m guessing that’s what you have there ). Although it might work a bit on the edges…

I tried now yes I can not paint on the cube or the ground. But I see in the tutorial it can paint the ground. Please tell what high poly I can use for testing.

I choose Red channel

I tried now with plane that has many vertices but still no paint appear

Can you show the material you’re using? You also have to code the material in a certain way.

I did not use material I was testing with only colors. I must use blend materials ?

Not blend, but the material on the mesh has to be setup for painting. It’s not a default operation
