Anybody used DeepPain 3D R2?

Yeah I've used it, the latest version is alot better but the paint tools are just way to fiddly and unprecise for my liking.
I'd prefer to just make the edge seams correctly and use photoshop, in the end its easier than all the work getting the model from the package to deep paint and painting it with a substandard paint program.

well i like it .. and its slightly better than the first one but u still carnt paint and see alpha channels in the vewport ..its quick and easy to use if u lern the keyboard short cuts.. its a million times better than body paint that things just stupid

here's another paint tool I found out about the other day, ghostpainter.

supports unwrapping to photoshop paths, all sorts of bodypaint functionality but you use photoshop insead of another paint program. a nice tool but you could do without [:)]

Haven't tried the newest versions of any of those programs. I just use Photoshop. I used DeepPaint and BodyPaint a few years ago, back in 2000 and I couldn't stand the stupid things.

amen Wes -- still haven't found a viable successor for the speed, functionality, and ease-of-use, of just using straight round brushes in photoshop. I have a "just paint it instead of screwing around with technical bullshit" mentality when it comes to this sort of thing though so I'm probably biased [:)]

Ive started to use deep paint a little bit, and im by no means a texture expert (ive only un rapped and textured a few models) it seems to work well usually i paint in the main areas, highlights, shadows, etc in deep paint then go to photoshop.
