So why aren't you just using Photoshop alone, and be done with it?

Maybe because I can render 3D frames, with keyframing and other setup times included, far faster than I could ever hope to hand draw a like number of frames in Photoshop or any other paint program?

...then mesh is a necessity to you, no?

Of course, there's always Manga Studio, I suppose...
