Vertex painting, straight lines?

Hi,

I need to paint a soccer field and I was wondering if there is a way to paint straight white lines over a grass texture with the vertex painting tools.

Thanks.

Hey masterneme,

So if you want to vertex paint accurately, you will need to subdivide your surface symmetrically so that when you paint your lines they are even. Then simply import your mesh, apply your grass material, and begin painting your white lines.

Use the documentation below to get and understanding of how to go about setting up mesh and vertex painting.

Let me know if you have further questions.

Cheers,

I don’t understand what do you mean by subdivide the surface.

By subdivide, I am referring to when you break up a mesh into even polygons. It sounds like you could be fairly new to 3D modeling and game design since the term subdivide is commonly used. We all need to start somewhere, so I would suggest taking a look at the Static Mesh and FBX pipeline documentation in the link below to familiarize yourself more with best practices and common terms.
