Note that next to the ‘Base Color’ option there’s a yellow dot which in Blender means that we can add in something. To do that, make all RGB (Red Blue Green) values equal to 1. Let’s make the base color white so our texture won’t be influenced by it: Right now we’re on the ‘ Solid‘ viewport shading which is basically this silver shading that’s covering our object, let’s switch to the ‘ Material Preview‘: We want to set the base color property but to see its effects we need to change the way Blender is displaying our scene. Click in ‘ New‘ to create a new material that’ll determine how our mesh will be rendered. Then open up the Material tab in the Properties window. For that, go to Add -> Mesh -> Cube at the top left of the scene window. They are sourced from a great place to find free textures, the ambientCG website:īefore we start, delete everything from the scene collection and start afresh by adding a new cube mesh to the scene.

Included in the course files ( go to the ‘Course Files’ tab below the video to download) there are two textures available for us to use. In this lesson, we’ll learn how to texture an object inside of Blender.
