so im studying this model, and man, im used to krita, even tho im not very good and have a bad tablet, i was thinking that using krita and then any other web app to make an atlas like this is tots possible. Should i continue? or learn a real texture app? i still have to also learn how to do normal map, blender nodes, and many other stuff, idk how to even start, so little time, wage slavery doesent help, no energy, how do yall do it, what do u recomend? where do i start with making my own characters? theres also the issue with needing to deepen normal 3d skills, so i can then apply seams and texture it and give it life, idk where to start, this all feels like a waste of time when ill never have money to study this at a school and get a job, should i maybe quit?

holy shit one thing at a time dude >can I use this software to draw textures? OR AM I FAILURE WHO SUCKS AND WILL NEVER AMOUNT TO ANYTHING I HAVE NO MONEY OR JOB, SHOULD I JUST QUIT?? have you considered... trying? try making textures in krita why even ask this question? just do it and see if it works for you? I know it's easier to think yourself in circles and get stuck asking questions "can I do this? should i do it this way?" when the simplest answer is to try it. just try it. make a model, texture it in krita. it might suck the first few times around as you get the hang of it but you'll get there you could probably texture in fucking mspaint if you didn't mind the lack of layers and transparency (don't actually do this, it's possible but it would still be aids)

yes you can use krita for texturing, and there are two ways for it; either just export the texture images, open them in krita and start painting away AND reloading them into blender to check how they're going (stupid and tediouse, I personally know), or you can use the krita-blender link addon; it isn't hard to install but i takes some practice to get around to make it work, and can get slow and crashy sometimes on the other hand, consider using the ucupaint addon for blender. I haven't used the current version yet but I've read it's much better than before

You can but I'd recommend using a 3D painting application like 3Dcoat instead. 3Dcoat + photoshop is a really quick workflow where you can jump back and forth between the two with a single key press. I can't imagine going back to just painting textures in 2D. Blender also has 3D painting and addons to enhance it but it still sucks imo compared to 3Dcoat. Note that I pirate both 3dcoat and photoshop I'm not a shill.
