Due to a great lack of time, I release an update to the DarkPaint functionality without a complete description inside the application, but I present the main features of the add-on here. A complete HELP on the workflow with minor updates will be released within 7-10 days. store.steampowered.com/app/1545310 Now let's go.

IN THAT CASE IF THE TEXTURE SIZE OF THE MATERIAL IS GREATER THAN THE SIZE OF THE TEXTURES OF THE PROJECT, THEN THE TEXTURE OF THE MATERIAL IS CUT TO THE SIZE OF THE TEXTURES OF THE PROJECT. IF THE SIZE OF THE TEXTURES OF THE MATERIAL IS LESS THAN THE SIZE OF THE TEXTURES OF THE PROJECT, THEN THE TEXTURES OF THE MATERIAL ARE DUPLICATED IN TILES BOTH VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL. REMEMBER THAT WHEN YOU CHANGE THE PERMISSION OF A PROJECT, YOU MUST RELOAD THE MATERIAL AND THE ABOVE RULES WILL APPLY TO IT. IF YOU CHANGE THE PROJECT RESOLUTION AND THE MATERIAL DO NOT RESTORE THE MATERIAL TEXTURES WILL BE SCALED TO THE PROJECT SIZE, IT CAN BE AS USEFUL IN ONE CASE, AS HARMFUL IN ANOTHER. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------DIMENSION OF PROJECT NOW DARKPAINT SUPPORTS PROJECT RESOLUTIONS FROM 512 TO 2048 WHEN YOU CHANGE THE RESOLUTION OF THE PROJECT, ALL TEXTURES ARE SCALED TO THE APPROPRIATE RESOLUTION. IT IS BEST PRACTICE IF A PROJECT PERMISSION IS ESTABLISHED AT THE BEGINNING OF EACH PROJECT, THIS WILL AVOID THE NEGATIVE EFFECTS OF TEXTURE SCALING WITH DECORATION OF THE QUALITY OF THE WORK ALREADY DONE. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------OBJECT TEXTURE LOADING PANEL OPENS THE OBJECT TEXTURE SLOT PANEL CLICKING THE LEFT MOUSE BUTTON ON THE TEXTURE SLOT OPENS THE IMAGE DIALOGUE. WHEN UPLOADED, THE IMAGE IS SCALED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PERMISSION OF THE PROJECT.

ONE TRIANGLE CANNOT BE BELONGED TO TWO DIFFERENT GROUPS. WHEN SELECTING ANY NUMBER OF TRIANGLES FROM DIFFERENT GROUPS AND ASSIGNING THEM A GROUP, THE SELECTED TRIANGLES WILL BELONG ONLY TO A NEW INSTALLED GROUP, THE OLD BINDING TO THE GROUP WILL BE REMOVED. BINDINGS TO GROUPS WILL BE SAVED WHILE SAVING THE PROJECT AND THERE WILL NOT NEED TO BE ASSIGNED AGAIN.
