slightly OT
Nate,
I would really love to see you use Zbrush. I think if you could get your head around the UI and workflow you could do amazing things!
please don't use the zbrush demo to base your opinions. the demo sucks compared to the real thing.
I know there are "issues" with z3 right now(i'm on a Mac so I wouldn't really know...were still v2.5) but in my opinion zapplink is one of the best tools out there. and on the PC you get zmapper, for creating "real" uv maps.
to me 3D paint is fairly useless. just being able to brush on colors in a 3D environment, doesn't help me that much.
I prefer to apply photo textures, or be able to use "real" paint tools in Pshop or Painter.
Maybe Michael will chime in...he is one of the few people that I know who really uses C4D.
