00:00Welcome back to another mind test mod review. Today we are looking at the
00:04painting 3 mod and as you can see this mod adds canvases that we can paint on.
00:11So let's take a quick look at some of the craft recipes because that's kind of
00:16important to know. So we have the painting easel. You're gonna need one of
00:19these to do a painting and just a couple pieces of wood and some sticks. Pretty
00:24simple and then of course you're going to need canvas to paint on which is just
00:27a sheet of paper and that'll give you a 16 by 16 resolution. Four sheets of paper
00:33will be 32 and nine sheets paper will be a 64 resolution. I have all of those set
00:39up here. 16, 32 and 64 and then of course you're gonna need a paintbrush and that
00:46is a couple sticks and a bit of cotton and then you're gonna need paint. Now
00:52there are oil colors and water colors. They are different. In my test game it
01:00doesn't look like we can create the oil colors so I'm assuming a mod that
01:05provides oil is required for that. However, I would imagine its recipes will
01:12all follow the same convention that the watercolor recipes do. So here you can
01:17see it's basically just dye, a bucket of water and an empty drinking glass and
01:22that'll give you a glass with green watercolor. I assume it returns the empty
01:26bucket. The oil I would assume is something similar with dye oil and the
01:32drinking glass. So once you have one of these then you're going to need to put
01:36the brush in it and that is done just by taking the glass with your paint and a
01:43brush and then you will combine them or the oil and it works the same way. So
01:49let's take a quick peek here at how we paint. Let me just do this so we can see
01:57a difference right off the bat. Actually let's put a new canvas down. So we're
02:01gonna put down the easel and then I do need a sheet of paper here to paint on
02:09and we are just going to punch the easel with the sheet of paper and our canvas
02:15is now on. You will see that the crosshair changes shape so we can paint and with
02:22the oil colors you can just hold the mouse button down and paint. You can do
02:27the same with the watercolors. I already used up all of my paint that is a little
02:31disappointing. The watercolor paint works a little differently in that it it
02:40doesn't go on quite as solid. So you can see here that I get some, I don't know if
02:47blending is the right term, but there is some fade along the edges whereas the
02:52oil color is just solid and then of course it's available in all of our
02:57different colors. That is in, is that an oil? No I think this is a water. Alright
03:06we have some gray, we have blue, we have a green. Okay this is the green watercolor.
03:13Yeah so you can definitely see the difference here. Now that lovely
03:17masterpiece I'm going to put on sale on my auction site. Oh no I just broke my
03:24painting that is quite sad. Oh well let me put my painted canvas back on the
03:28easel assuming we can do so. We can, excellent, stellar, beautiful, perfect.
03:33How do I break it? I'm so confused. I accidentally broke it and now that I
03:43want to break it I can't break it. What is going on here? Do I need to have an
03:48empty drinking glass in my hand? That wouldn't make any sense. I am really very
03:52confused at this moment. You have to punch it from the side to break it.
03:56Okay the more you know. We have a lovely painted canvas. I am curious will my next
04:05painted can, okay the painted canvas always shows the same picture so you
04:10don't really know which is which. But that's fine because you can go ahead and
04:15place this, place that. Now can I paint it when it's, I cannot. It is only
04:23paintable on the easel which makes sense because otherwise why would the easel
04:29have to exist right. Okay so we have that. Let's go. The sculpture mod has
04:40support for painting. So you can see here I have painted a lovely red line across
04:46the width of it and now I am curious. Okay so it would appear, let me just
04:58verify this, that we can only use the oil colors on sculptures. So here I have the
05:06green oil color and that paints perfectly as one would expect right. But
05:14if I take the green watercolor, which is this last one here, it will not paint at
05:19all. So you do have to use the oil colors to paint on your sculptures. Oh which is
05:29a bit unfortunate if you don't have the oil colors available to you, such as I
05:36don't for whatever reason. I'm not sure which mod provides the oil that I'm not
05:42using, but I'm sure that would be an easy enough matter to find out. Alright
05:51so we have that. Now I would assume, how do I break that, okay we break it like
05:56this. Then if I go ahead and place this, hey what do you know it still has my
06:01paint on it, which would be very sad if it didn't. And I'm going to imagine I
06:05can't paint it, nope. It is only paintable when it is on the pedestal to
06:14craft it. Is anything else paintable? I don't believe so. I don't even know what
06:21else I would try to paint. So I'm going to imagine that nothing else is
06:26paintable. Let's just punch a couple random things just to see. Yeah everything
06:34looks like it just wants to break the node. So going to have to imagine the
06:40only things paintable are the canvases, and then if you are using the sculpture
06:45mod, the sculptures, which I guess shouldn't come as a huge surprise to
06:51anyone. How far away we can paint from? It's like painting with a paintball gun.
06:56Oh that that seems to be the limit from way back here. And I'm guessing this is
07:05just based on the the interact distance. So that's just how far away the paint
07:14brush will reach the canvas. All right well there you have it.
07:24Okay that's peculiar. How did they both become the same thing? What? What has
07:39happened here? Okay that's still right. And no I want this one. No I want this
07:50one. I can't place it on an edge. Oh come on I have to place it into the hole. I am in
08:03creative so potentially that is making some things go amok. Oh hey what about
08:10this? No I can't paint that if it's on the backside. It has to be on the front side.
08:17Potentially that's what's making this go amok but there may be a small bug with
08:25canvases losing their information. Not sure. Um but that is going to do it. So if
08:36you are interested in downloading this mod I believe it's listed on the content
08:39database. Otherwise of course I'll have all the links on my website which will
08:42be linked in the video description below. Thanks for watching and I will see you
08:46next time.
