Color Tool and Prop Painting

Learn how to use the Color and Paint tools in Garry's Mod to customize your props and creations. This guide covers basic usage and applications for visual customization.

Hey there! So you want to make your creations in Garry's Mod look exactly how you want them, huh? That's awesome! Let's dive into the visual tools, specifically the Color and Paint tools. They're super handy for adding that personal touch. ### Visual tools (Render) This section is where things get colorful! | | | | --- | --- | | Colour
Colorizes entities. | Paint
Sprays sprites across a surface. | | Cameras
Places viewable cameras. | RT Camera
Places the render target camera. This is a server-wide camera everyone can see. | | | Trails
Make an entity emit trails when it is moved | Colour Tool: This one's pretty straightforward. You select the Colour tool, and then you can pick a color to apply to pretty much any entity you've spawned. Want a bright red car or a neon green crate? This is your go-to. Paint Tool: The Paint tool is a bit different. Instead of changing the whole entity's color, it lets you spray sprites onto a surface. Think of it like spray-painting a design or a texture onto your prop. It's great for adding details or weathering effects. A quick heads-up: While these tools are fantastic for making things look cool, they don't affect the physics or how props interact with each other. They're purely for aesthetics. So go ahead, experiment and make your Garry's Mod world pop!
