heyas; good job, dave. what did you do? :) i use p3d on my templates, if i want to draw guidelines. for example, if i want to make a tiger or zebra-striped thing, i might draw the stripes on in p3d as a guide, for painting over in photoshop. but i only ever use it if i need to paint over seams. (or fix seam alignments.) you can draw/paint right on the model with it, but what drives everyone absolutely batty is that when you go over a seam, p3d drags your paintbrush all the way across your canvas to connect it to the other area of the mesh. so you can't really paint a continuous line around a limb, say. if you try, you'll get a huge streak across the whole image, crossing other parts of the mesh and all, and messing everything up. the way i use it, i sort of 'sneak up' on the seam on the model, and put guide dots where the stripe would align on either side. it isn't bad for a 2d app, just painter is not my forte', so i can't make it work as well as i'd like.
