Maya Paint Effects tool
 

okay,

i have a problem trying to open up the paint effects tool (as basic as it sounds but it's true). following kurt's tutorial when he says select the head, then shift select the blinn material, nothing happens. he says that it might not work the first time. but i still can't get it to work. i can't seem to get the 3d paint tool menu to show up on the right. maybe a basic question but i can't do anything else until i figure it out!

:rolleyes:

it's okay i figured it out. i got mixed up with the texturing menu and paint effects menu and was going to the paint effects menu. duh!:confused:
