Plan your next Vermillion - VR Painting session
This guide walks you through Vermillion’s core tools, showing how each feature works and how they can be combined for a smooth virtual‑painting workflow. By experimenting with templates, collaboration, mixing, reference projection, and export options, you’ll develop reliable habits without relying on hidden shortcuts.
01 / THE GUIDE
Template Variety
Create three paint‑by‑numbers canvases from different source images, each with a distinct detail setting. Note how color count and outline complexity affect painting time and perceived difficulty.
- Start with a low‑detail setting to finish quickly, then increase detail for finer results.
- Use the isolate‑color view to focus on one hue at a time.
02 / THE GUIDE
Shared Palette Coordination
Host a four‑player session where each participant selects a unique color family. Observe how shared palette management influences the final composition and record any adjustments needed during the session.
- Agree on a palette order before starting to avoid color conflicts.
- Assign each player a separate layer for detailed work and merge them later.
03 / THE GUIDE
Mixing Exploration
Whisk primary colors on the palette to produce secondary hues, then apply those mixes both on the palette and directly on the canvas. Compare the visual results of palette mixing versus on‑canvas blending.
- Experiment with whisking on the palette to discover custom secondary colors.
- Apply a dry brush after wet blending to soften harsh edges.
04 / THE GUIDE
Reference Projection Test
Project a detailed photograph onto the canvas and attempt a faithful recreation using only the projected guide. Evaluate how projection aids proportion accuracy compared to working from memory.
- Project a reference image to keep proportions accurate while you work.
- Pause tutorial videos at key steps to practice before continuing.
05 / THE GUIDE
Export Comparison
Export a completed painting as an 8 k image and as a 3‑D model. Import the model into a different VR environment and assess visual fidelity, scaling, and placement options.
- Export an 8 k image if you plan to print the artwork at large size.
- Use the 3‑D model export to place your painting as a decorative object in another VR space.
