5.7 Texture Paint
Texture paint is a built-in painting mode designed specifically to edit UV image textures.
It is not a method for painting textures onto a surface. A UV texture is an image (picture)
that is mapped to the surface of an object, providing color and surface definition (see Sec-
tion 5.4).
With texture paint you can paint color over the image or directly onto the surface of the
object once the image has been mapped. Before you can texture paint, the surface of the
object must first be unwrapped to the UV/image editor window and an image must be ap-
plied as a texture (see Section 5.4).
The texture image is mapped to the surfaces
of the cube in texture display mode.
