You might look at Bodypaint 3D from Maxon. A lot of people like it. Texture Weapons (so far as I know) triangulates your model, which is sometimes not acceptable, and a real flaw with this program. I don't have Bodypaint, but there is a demo to download and try (likewise with Deeppaint/Texture weapons) Tru-V was ok in it's day, but but the Version 2 upgrade never saw the light of day, and in truth, you can do more with Steve Cox's UVMapper. If you want to look for yourself, Tru-V is now at http://www.texturetools.com/truv.shtml Don't forget uVMapper. It doesn't have the fancy Atlas/Meridean UV modes, but you can do A LOT with UVMapper. Steve Cox is also working on UVMapper Pro, which should offer more sophisticated tools, and at a much more reasonable price (I hope! :) Regards- Lemurtek
