Hi there! I'm not sure if I’m using your plugin correctly, but I can't seem to get any color to show up on the character's surface. Here are the steps I've taken:

  1. Loaded the CUA and selected your preset.
  2. Went to the character and selected the Paintable plugin.
  3. Tried drawing on the character—I can see the spray effect coming out when I click, but nothing actually sticks to the skin.
I have all the dependencies installed, so I’m not sure what I’m missing. I’m also using huntingsuccubus's SSS; could there be a compatibility issue between the two?

Thanks a lot for your help!

Found the issue. I can't run this plugin and huntingsuccubus's sss skin at the same time.
 
@polypox @hisubaki Sorry, something seems off with my notifications, didn't get any for your posts even though I'm watching the thread.

Glad you figured it out, thanks for coming back and confirming what the issue is. I don't have that plugin, so I can't see if a compatibility patch is possible at the moment.

This is super high tech! Is it possible to adjust the max transparency of the paint sprayed?
Thank you! Currently there's not max transparency setting, but it's already on the todo list. I'm not sure if this might help you for your use case, but I recently also had conversations about "colorless" effects like oil or water, and found this workaround for the time being:
  • Skin Textures | Set the person gloss textures to your "target" gloss value, e.g. fully white. Your person is fully glossy now.
  • Paintable | In the paintable plugin load fully transparent color textures, and full black for gloss. Your person is back to normal non-glossy again.
  • Painter | In the painter plugin just enable the "Erase" toggle and your good to go.
So it's kind of like painting a mask to uncover the person textures. Here's an example:
