I could be wrong since I have zero PS experience.

In order to colorize an image, you will first need to convert it to RGB.

This is what I would look at doing, but as I understand it, PS has brushes where this is very impractical with animation/automation that is difficult to replicate with alphas and other brush engines. How to Use Brush Blending Modes in Adobe Photoshop Open any true grayscale image. I haven’t done that in a long time either, but it worked for me once.Īlternate option, export an alpha mask of the brushes to use in blender. You don’t move the view (crucial) and do your paintover in PS, then bring that into sculptris and it auto projects that to the mesh UV. You would import an obj into sculptris, setup the view and hit the button that exports a sceenshot. Sculptris has a very defined workflow for that sort of texturing with projection painting.

I haven’t done it in blender recently, but there are plenty of tutorials. Have you considered projection painting? You take an image of your mesh, do a paint over in your tool of choice, import that image and project it onto the mesh.
