Problem with Misfit Model 3D and Textures

Post by Neofito »

Well I'm not sure if this is the right boar, if it isn't any moderator feel free to move this post to the right one.

I'm totally new to 3D softwares, and since I've read about misfit Model 3D in this forums I downloaded it, and the fact is that it seems a basic but good aplication, at least for a beginner like me.
Now I'm working with textures, but seems I'm doing something wrong.
With different .obj models I use the "Select Faces" tool, once all the face are selected I go with "Materials/Paint" Texture option, and get awindow like this

Image

Everything seems ok, I save the file in PNG format (in fact is the only option); but when I open the saved png file it doesn't look how suposed because it's just a black background.

What's what I'm doing wrong?, need change some setting of Misfit Model 3D?

Thanks in advance

I'm no expert with misfit, but did you actually paint anything on the texture? If you haven't, then the blue likely represents the space in between the UVs or something similar.

Thanks for quick answer.
The question is that there isn't option to paint; the window is just a preview of how will look the PNG file, and then the file can be edited adding textures with a gimp/photoshop/etc (or at leas it's what I think, because haven't find any way to edit the preview).
Btw, I forgot to say my OS:Windows 7 64bits.
Also a good option could be if someone know an easy/basic software that I could use instead Misfit fot the texturing thing.

Thanks in advance

Well the Misfit texture map works fine in a friend's maching running Windows XP( when you save the .png file you get what you see in the preview instead the black image I get), maybe it's an issue of Misfit with Windows 7 64 bits.
