Hello everyone,
How can I overpaint the 3d rendered model as seen in the pictures?
How should I set the layer settings?

I would be glad if anyone can explain to me how I can do this for myself.

Hello and welcome.

There are many techniques that can be used.............this is only one! I prefer this technique because the colors can easily be edited! The layer masks can also be edited.

Original

Background removed.

New background added.

Use the selection to add to the layer mask of a Solid Fill Adjustment layer.
Set layer blend mode to "Overlay". This works in this case, you can try other blending options.

Repeat the process for each part of the model to be painted.......

In your sample image of the layers panel, you seem to have several aspects of the render in their own layers and converted to smart objects. I would have to actually see the PSD file in order to tell you how to proceed with your sample model. These layers may only be parts of the 3D model and not of much use for painting.

Yet another technique can be by using Hue & Saturation layers set to colorize and clipped to a template layer set to "Overlay".
This clipping method can also be used with a Solid Color Fill Adjustment layer.

Thank you very much, I know about the overlay, but I need to use those layers that belong to the model for light and shadow. I will send you the psd file maybe you can help more

I think those layers need to be part of the model, but they shouldn't be necessary for the painting aspect. You can just save a merged version of the model for painting.

Sure, you can upload it to a post.............if it's too large, post a link to an online file host.
