When I select all of my object in edit mode, and then go to texture paint mode, my object deselects and turn purple, and the UV map disappears. I've tried many methods to solve this problem but they didn't fully work, such as: Adding a new base color in order to add a texture to the UV map, but only some part of the head could be colored. I've also tried to redo the process, only for it to not work fully and properly. I will link a video and image of the problem more clearly.

  • $\begingroup$ hello, how does your material look like? If you haven't created an image and plugged it into the Principlded BSDF (or Diffuse), it won't give anything (it will give this pink color) $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ I've used this link on how to texture paint, and not inserting an image. (Link is attached here) youtube.com/watch?v=AnRQhH3fEDY&ab_channel=SurfacedStudio $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Also moonbots, what do you mean by inserting an image to the Principled BSDF? Im trying to texture paint and color the object with my cursor. I might be wrong about the previous statement. $\endgroup$

See the material you're using for the surface of your skull, it is called Union2Mtl and it has no Image Texture, you need to create an Image Texture and click on its New button (or select an already created image):

Also you need to make sure that the unwrap is correct (Smart UV Project will work fine for a 3D view painting) but it seems to be the case here.
