00:00Let's get into it! First drag your model in the Bamboo Studio Slicer, then click the Color Painting button here at the top.
00:15Only one color is active now. To add filament colors, press this plus button.
00:21Click on the number here on the left to change the color of this filament.
00:24Here you can select the color to paint with.
00:31Let's start with the circle tool. Change the pen size here or press ctrl and move the mouse wheel.
00:38Click and hold left mouse button to start painting the selected areas.
00:42Now let's try the sphere tool.
00:54It works almost the same, but the difference is that it goes through walls.
01:00The inside is also painted as you can see. Let's paint some more with the sphere tool.
01:04You see both sides are painted in one action.
01:10Here you can enable a section view of the model.
01:16Click Reset Direction to cut along the current view orientation.
01:20Let's change to a side view with this cube and click Reset Direction again.
01:25It will now cut along the side view only.
01:35When checking Vertical, the paint will appear in that direction only.
01:42Let's change the view orientation perpendicular to the model to see this better.
01:48Click this button to erase all painting.
01:51The same goes with the horizontal checkbox.
02:04Erase all painting again.
02:07Let's switch to the yellow color and select the triangle tool.
02:10This 3D model consists of many triangles.
02:13Please subscribe if you like it, thanks.
02:16Let's paint some of them.
02:18Hover over this icon to see which hotkeys are possible to use.
02:23Hold Alt while using the mouse wheel to change the section view.
02:37Press Alt plus Shift plus Enter to change to a wireframe model to see the triangles.
02:42Now you see how this paint tool works.
02:46Let's switch to the Height Range tool.
02:48And change it to the maximum level.
02:50Now you can paint a specific area at a specific height.
02:52Click to paint this region with the selected yellow color.
02:53Click to paint this region with the selected yellow color.
02:55Also make one region red after selecting this color.
02:58Let's move on to the Fill tool.
02:59Let's move on to the Fill tool.
03:00All similar surfaces can be filled at once.
03:01Hold left mouse button and drag the mouse to fill it.
03:02Now you can paint a specific area at a specific height.
03:04Now you can paint a specific area at a specific height.
03:10Click to paint this region with the selected yellow color.
03:13Also make one region red after selecting this color.
03:21Let's move on to the Fill tool.
03:23All similar surfaces can be filled at once.
03:29Hold left mouse button and drag the mouse to paint faster.
03:33This model can be painted in no time.
03:35The Gap Fill tool does not apply here.
03:50There are no gaps in this STL model to fill.
03:56Click this button to erase all painting again.
03:59When you uncheck the Edge Detection feature,
04:01the whole model can be painted with one click.
04:03You can change the settings for your model as desired.
04:20So if you want to paint it fast,
04:21uncheck the Edge Detection box and click the model.
04:26I hope you find this video useful.
