Question by DavidDebnar · Oct 21, 2011 at 02:38 PM · texturemeshpaintpainting

Painting on objects at runtime/in editor

Hey guys! Could someone point me in right direction on how to paint on meshes at runtime, or just in editor? I would love some example too, because I am bit bad at understanding single sentenced answers.

That should have been an answer not a comment

probably, but it wasn't a ton of information so I wasn't sure it was going to answer $$anonymous$$'s specific question. It was more of a 'is this what you're looking for?' type thing. I'll add it as an answer now.

If you want to paint on meshes (or in other words modify the texture of the mesh's material), you'll need to learn to use SetPixels.

http://unity3d.com/support/documentation/ScriptReference/Texture2D.SetPixels.html

Here's a good forum post where folks are talking about how to paint meshes: http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/24838-Painting-Drawing-on-mesh-terrain
