An important note on the Normal Mix node - See how after adding the normal mix the logo turns completely matt? The reason is that the normals are very distorted. To fix it, you're gonna want to set the bottom color to RGB 0,5 0,5 1, that being Blender's default flat normal.
2 years later and this video still saves lives. I was wondering if I could map an overlay texture to a different UV map so I don't have to worry about manually editing the texture to fit the base UV map. With this video and "How to Bake Textures from One UV Map to Another in Blender", I can not only do that, but also bake my overlay texture back into the base texture to save memory. Thank you so much!
Brother I LOVE YOU , i've been looking through youtube for an HOUR trying to combine two images and you showed me to make both materials metallic BUT disable it on one of the materials, THANK YOUUUU!!!!!!
That's very interesting ! Didn't know i can use multiple UV maps and in the past i had to struggle to align my icons on my objects... Now that i know having multiple UV maps is possible i can't wait to use them myself ! Thanks for the tutorial !
Dear Ryan - I will have to thank you one more time (and this won't be the last for sure). All of your tutorials are so amazing and useful. Best regards
Thanks for showing this. However, as I am in the midst of modeling an airplane, how do I get the icon to show up on both side of the plane? I tried duplicating the process to add the 2nd icon, however its not showing up and I feel possibly I am not using the right method of mixing them all?
Using an empty as the object coordinates on a separate Texture coordinate node to place a decal is a lot easier and offers more flexibility in my opinion , and you can still integrate it with other textures. You can bake it into the same UV map or choose another if needed without any issue. Anyway just a thought.
(I know this is an older tutorial, but I try to make a point of commenting when someone's Blender knowledge helps me out.) Thank you for this! I'm using it together with your glass tutorial to recreate a pint glass my wife likes using.
Great video could you do a small part 2 on this showing use how you can add maybe grunge or cracks within the icon as if the icon was torn apart from rust from the material?
Compressed Quick for myself since I keep forgetting: Get both your images in node editor Texture 1 - Main Material, Texture 2 - Sticker Material Add Mix Node Set sticker material as "Color 2" on mix node Set main material as "Color 1" on mix node Connect sticker's alpha to the factor on the mix node Creating another UV map Object Data Properties (Green triangle icon) Uv Maps > [+] Button Create another UV map. (View UV maps in UV editor tab at the far right as well) Insert "UV Map" node and imput into Sticker material Replace the main material's mapping node with the UV node instead
I've been looking for a video covering this specific topic for a long time now. Many thanks for the useful information! Something I want to know though: How do you use the same icon on an object, by way of painting it on the object instead of messing around with the UV's? For me, I sometimes need to use the same transparent icon in different areas of one object, so I think this UV method wouldn't be compatible in this case
Everytime I've a question about Blender, I find one of your video for a clear tutorial beginner friendly. Thanks! I've a question tho, I found this video searching for adding a tattoo to an human shaddered with the Globalsin addon. It's a procedural shadder that create realistic skin. I would like to overlay a tattoo, while keeping the details of the skins like imperfection, pores etc. What is the best way to do that? According to you video, I could bake the shadder into image texture (but it will take hours for baking), and then do you technic. Is there a simple way? Thanks in advance
How do we add more than 2 decals? Because the mixer node has only 2 inputs and room for only one alpha/factor control. So how does one go about doing that?
hey, amazing video. It was super helpful and I really appreciate your help. I was just wondering how you would approach adding a second Icon,? I currently tested with essentially adding a second UV map and duplicating the mx setup and running this through another mix node but the result comes out faded, is there a smarter solution?
This is great for future use! But my current projects needs to mix a principled BSDF and an image texture separately. as if the BSDF was a solid-coloured image texture. Is that possible?
So it is impossible to use an image texture that is not transparent? eg. I have a black logo on a white background as my image texture. But I only want the logo (in white) on my already textured model.
Thank you! I was looking for something like this. I was trying something similar with the mix shader, but in cycles, my models got all transparent like glass.
is there a way to make the layer glossy, whilst maintaining the layer beneath? i've been struggling for a while. in particular i'm trying to overlay my skin texture with scales that have a glossy look. the only way i've found i can do it is assigning area, but it doesn't look great. edit: nevermind, i added another BSDF and used a mix shader, used the alpha.
I recently made a video about that: ruclips.net/video/i4GAHxtDAsk/видео.html In the new Blender update, they changed the Mix RGB node, to just the mix node. So just add the mix node, and change the Float option, to Color. Then you can use it just like the mix RGB node.
hey bro just wanted to know how did you made the alpha and the color map on a single texture? i mean that icon is just a color map right?. so when you switched to alpha so how it is showing the black and white at a same time?
ive done this and im struggling to figure out how to add different metallic and reflection values to mine. Im just using an rgb node to get the color and an image texture of course on top. I want the image texture to be shiny while the base color is pretty basic and slightly glossy
I've watched a couple videos on this process and I'm having issues with black icons. I have simple black text I want to place this way, and I have it as a transparent PNG, but no matter what I seem to do it reads the black text as a part of the alpha. If I make the text white it works fine. Is there is reason this doesn't work? A way that WOULD work?
Im trying to add a logo to the mustard bottle from your other tutorial, but my logo gets all messed up because of the subdivision surface... Do I need to apply it first or is there a workaround? A+++ level tutorials by the way, many thanks!
@@RyanKingArt in order to keep the mirror I now used the shrinkwrap method. The stencil method with texture paint also needs to apply the mirror- isn´t it? Thank You very much so far!
super useful! thnk u :) have a weird question tho... can you move the png independently into a different texture map? as in, u import a map (or create it inside blender), and then add a png inside a specific area of that map?
Hey, if you want to export it and that everything remains inside one object and to not have to reassigned the texture later, how can you do it ? Thanks for the video !
When I open the image with the UV editor and move the UV map around, the image doesn't change in the Viewport. Is there something I'm doing wrong? The image is transparent and should be working, but I don't know what's doing this
@@RyanKingArt Just one thing, I'm not sure if I'm wrong but this doesn't work for baking after adding the sticker, I was trying with textools but didn't work, the sticker doesn't appear in the bake, any suggestion?
@@RyanKingArt For my case, I need same icon/image on four corners on one face of cube. And different icons/images on four corners of other faces of the cube. Does the method you mentioned work for that?
For those who can't properly view images applied to objects or it appears to be "Pink", just try to change the file name of the image texture into something shorter.
Thanks for the video! But to be honest, as a beginner it looks absolutely frustrating and overly complicated. In this case wouldn't it be a thousand times easier and faster to just build a small triangle object out of your sticker image and put this on the cube? You'll have an actual 3D object that can easily be moved and edited, seperately from your cube material.

Great tutorial
Thank you!
I understand using the textures, but what if you want to place the icon onto a surface generated in blender? Is there a way to use a bsdf texture?

A second Mix behind your setup should do it. It's like order layers
Mate, this is a mission, for a simple job, it used to be that you could paint a stencil in two minutes, without any nodes
Exactly! There’s other videos showing this in less than half the time

Hi fantastic tutorial, if I may, how do I add one texture png on another png with one a bit smaller on the same face for instance?

I would use this method most of the time, unless you specifically want to texture paint it, to use in a game engine or something.
hey bro just wanted to know how did you made the alpha and the color map on a single texture? i mean that icon is just a color map right?. so when you switched to alpha so how it is showing the black and white at a same time?

Yes if there is a mirror modifier it will use the same UV map on both sides and so it will mirror it.
@@RyanKingArt and that´s what I want to avoid
@@taucher1945 Then you will need to apply the mirror modifier, then UV unwrap the object again.

can you move the png independently into a different texture map? as in, u import a map (or create it inside blender), and then add a png inside a specific area of that map?

Hey, if you want to export it and that everything remains inside one object and to not have to reassigned the texture later, how can you do it ? Thanks for the video !
hmm, if I understand you correctly, you can texture bake the material to texture maps. that way the overlay will be baked into the same texture map.
