    Hey everyone, I'm trying to finish the Catch course but i can't get the texture painting section to work. When i try to paint on the model nothing shows up but the paint shows up in the UV tab

      Hi Carter cccouv ,

      There seems to be a UV mismatch; if I Fill the bottom shell with white, I get this:

      In Edit Mode it looks like:

      Paint_02.png

      So, the Paint Overlay only shows a part of the UV's:

      Paint_03.png

      Painting still works, but painting in the Image Editor is going to be complicated:

      I haven't figured  out, why this is happening. I haven't seen the Course yet. I will watch it and see if I can find, what part in the workflow might cause this (or maybe it's a bug...,or just some Setting...)

      Can't you just re-unwrap? Maybe that would reset the UV islands. Can it be as simple as applying the scale? Maybe the trick that I always use, copy past all your elements to a new blend file and the bug hopefully stays in the old file and doesn't carry to the new one.
