I did follow the directions from an imported model but I was unsure where I can then paint the details on the model as I could not load the texture with the unwrapped outlines, or paint directly onto the model. Since I can't see outside of blender where to make my patterns that is also rather unhelpful. I guess if I'm applying a proper texture i.e. rust, or scratches it makes more sense, not hand painting a model. | |

It should work as it won't depend on material nodes anymore but at the same time will rely on Internal export. | |
