heya; i thought momo meant like in photoshop. that's what i do, either paint the skin in layers over the black lines, or sometimes paste the template to a new layer in darken mode, with low opacity. and in my painter 3d the 'show mesh' option is on the menu bar under.. um... something in the middle. canvas? (actually, i think the sides of my texture window are usually under the 3d model view window. :) )
