        • if no then state 'you cannot enter texture mode without uv coordinates, please create them via uvunwrapping or have them autogenerated'
    • yes
      • continue
  • Which channel would you like to paint (DIFFUSE, SPECULAR, BUMP, OTHER)
    • (DIFFUSE is selected by default)
      • is a a texture assigned to the selected channel?
        • yes

            • if automatic is selected then an image is automatically created (name is by default OBNAME_DIFFUSE.png, OBNAME_BUMP.png, OBNAME_SPECULAR.png, OBNAME_OTHER.png) with a texture of the same name created. The texture is set to UV as mapping, clip for repeat. The image is automatically saved.

  • DIFFUSE
  • BUMP
  • SPECULAR
  • OTHER

• the channel you are painting on currently is the one selected.
• if you change channels and an image texture doesn't exist the above dialog will pop up for selecting the image to use.
