Improve an Existing Model’s Texture

This tutorial explains two methods to enhance an existing model's texture: Edit Texture and Retexture.

Method 1: Edit Texture

Use this when you want to fix small issues like wrong colors, artifacts, or mismatched patches.

1

Open and inspect

Open your model and enter Edit Texture. Rotate the model and locate the area you want to fix.

2

Pick color and brush

Select the correct color (use the Eyedropper to sample from a nearby area if needed). Adjust Brush Size (and Opacity/Hardness if needed).

3

Paint

Paint over the problem area.

4

Blend and refine

If the painted area doesn’t match perfectly, switch to Heal and blend the edit into the surrounding texture. Use Smudge to soften edges or smooth transitions if needed.

5

Save

Click Save to apply your changes. To discard edits, use Cancel.

Method 2: Retexture (new look, same mesh)

Use this when you want a bigger visual change (new clothing colors, themes, variations) without rebuilding the mesh.

1

Start

Start with the model you want to update, then open Retexture.

2

Describe the change

Write a prompt describing the texture change you want.

3

Choose resolution

Choose an output resolution if available (example: 1k x 1k).

4

Generate

Click Generate.

5

Review and save

Review the result and save it as a new variation.

Example prompt

Change the character’s dress to white and green by replacing the blue parts with green.
