Thanks Dennis445, I tried what you showed above and got to paint on the cube for about a minute using my mouse. When I switched over to my Wacom tablet something changed. Instead of applying strokes to the surface, the brush would act as a paintbucket tool and fill the whole cube. Thanks BWTR, I've gone to Eovia3d.net, Hexablog and the Hexagon yahoo group and did searches for paint and come up with very little. There are plenty of tutorials on modeling but nothing I could find on setting up models to paint. Dennis445's 2 screen grabs were more helpful. To nomuse: So do you think it's a bug?
