Unfortunately, It didn’t work. Or maybe im doing something wrong still.
I reduced visibility of the stencil by 50% in krita over a transparent bg, exported to png, imported the stencil texture, set strength to 1 and sure it painted at half… but then when i painted over, it added more darkness same as having strength at 50% in blender.
I guess now im trying to find where to adjust brightness of the brush you mention.
I’ll upload a video shortly showing the trouble im having. Maybe my approach is just wrong.
