Texture paint isn't showing up in object mode

[Snapshock]

I've done the paint correctly,it's showing perfectly in texture paint but in object mode it's completely blank,yet if I just do the material change it shows up in everything. What exactly am I doing wrong with texture paint? It's not even showing up in the render

Does the object disappear or go blank (black)? I have that issue as well. I know what it's from: alpha channels (see-through or invisible) areas aren't loading properly from the UV map. I haven't figured out how to correct it, it's something I'm doing wrong either with making the custom textures I'm trying to use or something I'm doing wrong with making or adjusting the UVmap.

Hopefully someone can explain how to correct this so we can start properly utilizing custom textures and materials. I've been working around it by using pre-made textures from the game I'm modeling for. It has an SDK. The materials and textures are in the game files to use so they're in the Asset Library to drag and drop onto the model and just have them work both in Blender and in the game.

I have not tried asking on Blender's discord channel. I avoid social networks, never have and never will use or have an account on them. If you use it try that.
I'll wait and hope for a response that solves it here.

It isn't disappearing or going black,it's just the texture isn't actually like,showing on the model outside of texture paint mode,like whenever i'm in say object mode or rendering the image it just goes back to having no color

Are you using applying the texture in Shader Editor?
Are you turning Material Preview on?

I'm not entirely sure what or where those are,i'm new to Blender

Watch beginner tutorials and learn. YouTube.

Any good recommendations for where to start? Other than the doughnut one,already did that (Also I got the texture to show up in the render,still not in layer mode though)

You're not likely to learn how to successfully do things in Blender poking around clueless. Read and watch tutorial and guide text articles and videos. There's guides that are probably useful and very helpful here in the Steam Guides (I haven't personally checked out yet).

If you're trying to create content for a specific game see if you can find tutorials relevant to that game for Blender. There might be an addon or plugin for the application you're trying to make content for that will be extremely helpful a YouTube video will probably have a link to in its description.

For example I've gotten into Blender to try and make content for Space Engineers. There's a "SEUT" (Space Engineers Utility) addon for that game that automatically does a ton of things that game's content requires that would take forever to figure out and do right so the model works in the game without the addon.

There's videos like this one that share how to install and setup the plugin, and others on this persons channel for Blender that go into making your first model for the game:

This tutorial below helped me understand how to UVmap and apply a custom texture in Blender (in general, not for the SE game this method doesn't work for the game I'm Blendering for):

Use YouTube's search to search for tutorials on what you're trying to figure out how to do. Beginner tutorials on YT are a good place to start so you learn and know what all the buttons do, how to do what you're trying to do.
