hay guys you herd about the new photoshop cs4??? well its out and cost allot but that's not the reason for this topic
photoshop now has :

now i know there's body paint but this is awesome for photoshop users :)

talk talk talk ;)

I have it but I haven't tested it yet, no place to install on my HDD =/. Definitely looks cool though.

So what your saying is you can import say an... Obj file. Then "3d paint it"?

yah, but i think it has to be UV first. then coloring on the 3d object copies the color information to an image file

what Advancebo said and i have it too i downloaded the free trial haven't installed it yet.

I'm not so sure whether you can export back out of Photoshop. Photoshop CS3 (Although extremely limited) can work with 3D objects. What you have to remember is Photoshop is more a 2D composting program, not a full 3D app like Zbrush.

GIMP > Photoshop....

Can Gimp paint in 3d?

I don't think so, otherwise I must have been living under a rock!

It's better because it is free/open source. Besides, 3d painting isn't that interesting... Just learn how to use the material editor in Max effectively, and learn to use Mental Ray or Vray... and it will look a lot better...

GNU Image Manipulation Program. Photoshop is overpriced and GIMP can do everything it can do plus some (such as a flame fractal generator for those who are too lazy to figure out how to use Apophysis)

wow, im impressed, really, you can denounce a sexual preference and link it to a non-tangible object as well. GIMP is the name of a free, open source editing program you fool.
but i suppose you are one of the ones who just pirates software, am i right?
do not force opinions, especially your own ill-referenced ones, as fact. nowhere does it say homosexuality is wrong.
edit: also, if "get in my penis" is the first thing you think of when you see GIMP, then i think you need to rethink "I HATE GAY PEOPLE" as a public statement

also, theres this thing called custom filters, and we are talking about FREE vs 4000 dollars.
i think you need to screw you head on straight kid
lets see some proof before you say something sucks. see, i have enough proof to say that you suck, based on your last statement
lol i made a funny >_>
also, your avatar quote makes this even funnier
"Take BAT out of BAsemonT"

For a homophobe, you sure are obsessed with "semon" (judging by your avatar quotes both here and at modacity), which by the way is not the right spelling. Whats wrong with gimp anyways? It serves its purpose.

The filters are nearly identical to photoshops and there are good free custom ones out there. Seriously free > $4000
The brushes GIMP comes with are good too, and there are free brushes for it out there too. Just because Photoshop is the "best" (remember, that's just an opinion, a tiny little chemical reaction in your head) mainstream program out there doesn't mean there are better lesser known (not as expensive) programs out there. Just because the pros use it doesn't mean it is the best.

@ Your first comment. Referring to sexual terms is often a sign of immaturity, and trying to use sexual talk to make themselves sound older or more mature.

@ Your second statement. Nothing is wrong with GIMP. Its a great program. Not only because its free, but it still does offer alot of functionality. It may not be photoshop but the 4000 dollar price difference makes up for that.

You cannot export the 3d objects.
Zbrush Painting>photoshop

You dont need to seeing as how you are just really editing a tiff thats already being applied to the object.You just keep working with the max scene and change the .obj/tiff in ps.
Its like someone smashed Deep Paint into Photoshop, dont know if you can layer by applied materials or not but that was deep paints best asset.

This is like comparing a pineapple with a cucumber, there two different things! haha


Actually 3D painting can be extremely useful and in some cases can probably speed up the process of texturing an object, it can also easily help putting more detail into a 3D object.
Mental Ray and Vray are great for rendering(if you have the time...or a BOXX) but I'm assuming the OP concern was of how things looked with HCE.

so is posting images such as fail/BAN hammer/ and so forth.
and as it been said before gimp is an awesome program and iv used it in the past it all depends on which 1 your more comfortable with and which one can help u exceed in what u want to do (gimp does this) but i find photoshop more comfortable for me thus the reason i use it.

Well if there are few extra copies lying around... I'll just give you my home address right?
