Merge paint layers

 
 
 

Merging paint layers combines any visible layers for an active paint channel into one layer. This reduces the number of texture files and saves texture memory when painting models.

Note the following when merging layers:

To merge paint layers

  1. In the Paint Layers window, turn off the visibility for any paint layers you don’t want merged (on the active paint channel). For more information, see Hide or show a paint layer.
  2. Select the paint layer you want the other visible layers to be merged into.
  3. Click the Layers window menu () or right-click the selected layer and select Merge Visible.

    The visible layers for the active paint channel are merged into the layer you selected.
