How to texture paint a mesh while it's transparent? So I finished modelling my mesh for a spaceship and moved on to texture painting it. The problem is that I'm following the design of an image in the background and I cannot see it while painting as the mesh is black. Is there some way to make it transparent so I can see the image while painting or...?
If it's just about seeing a reference image, which you loaded in as a Background image to a view, you can set the display of it to 'Front'. It's the Button under the 'Opacity' slider, by default it is set to 'Back':
