yes i know how UV maps and stuff works. just last night i mapped THIS:: i'll re-phrase my question sorry: ive heard of programs (not photo editing ones) where you can simply paint straight onto the model and and it will appear on the UV, or paint on the UV and it will appear on the model. the only program i've seen do this was called 'Upaint' and i saw it ages abo, before i knew i would be doing it. i've been looking everywhere but cannot find a copy in stores or online. i googled 'Upaint" and found this so you can see what i mean:: https://www.unreal.fr/images/tutoriau...ut_skin_10.jpg does anyone know of any OTHER progs that do the same, or better?
