I try to do a projection painting and I followed a tutorial, but I get a 'Missing Data' warning in the tool shelf:

How do I solve this? This is what I want to achieve (picture of the tutorial):

    I think you haven't applied / saved (if .blend was reopened) material with texture for that mesh. You should create material, texture for that material, and open / create image in the Image Editor which then apply for that texture. Also it might be a good idea to include link to the lesson you use. – Mr Zak Jun 04 '15 at 12:05

  • when I do that "add a diffuse color" thing it applies it to one part of my mesh. – flubadub Aug 20 '16 at 19:55

To paint on the model you need to create a texture in the material.

Click on Add Paint Slot and select Diffuse Color. This will create a texture that will have Color influence on the material in Blender Internal, and if you are in Cycles Render it will add a texture node on the material.

Make sure you don't have Use Nodes checked in your Node Editor window. This should let you paint in the 3D Viewport. I had the same problem and this worked for me.
