Quote - @Hioushi: Yes, ZBrush is used for texturing. Spotlight is an awesome tool. I don't know what RorrKonn is talking about with the 90 degree "streek" in spotlight - I've never experienced that and I do all my texturing in ZBrush. The only glitch I've found with it is a line that will shoot off across your work randomly, every so often, but that has to do with the tablet you're using and can be fixed just by hitting an undo once or twice. ZB has unlimited undo history. Most of the latest CG hollywood films (Avatar, Iron man, etc, etc) use Zbrush for their modeling and texturing. That or Mudbox.

But if you're not a modeler, and are only looking for texturing, then ZB is a bit of an overkill on price @$700. For just texturing work, and a bit of morphing, I'd probably go with blacksmith3D. I've never used it cause I have ZBrush and don't need it, so I can't comment on how good or bad it is, but several folks seem to be using it.

AmbientShade : spotlight a cube and get all six sides edges textures to match so there's no seems & ya get what I'm talking about.

oh and you half to leave it a cube with sharp 90 degree angles no morphing it in to a ball.
