It actually looks like someone took a cue or two from the poly paint features of Zbrush and from the old "viewpaint" methods that ILM used to use to paint over intricate Nurbs models that had a large number of stitched nurbs surfaces. It's definitely "the future" for CG in general, i would think, but I don't see it replacing good old fashioned uv based texture painting anytime soon. Definitely not in game dev for a while which means probably not for another 15-20 years in Poser-time. :p -Les
