Here's one I came across at Cgtalk. It's a plug-in for Photoshop so you must already have it. So you can view your model in 3d while working in Photoshop. I tested the demo works pretty good. one note tho I use a Dell M60 with the Quadro FX-700 go and that card was a little outdated to handle the pixel 2.0 shader requirements. So I had to turn down the viewing capabilites. I also had to manually refresh my work a bit. It does however allow you to paint on several channels. definitely interesting... wish I had a real vidoe card to test it.

Looks interesting but it's as per usual .... only available for windows.

for me when i installed the demo, it gave me errors, i think it needs some sort of visual basic or something?

It needs some MFC library than can be found on the web. I had sneak peak on it, and my opinion is that's lousy stuff, as the quality of the software is really poor. As you mentionned, first some DLL are missong in the demo package (not everyone as VisualC++ on his PC

), then i had problem to switch from Photoshop to the painter because the screen was hanging, and finally i coudn't quit the painter til i killed it in the task bar...

Maybe it's only the demo than suffer quality problem ? Maybe than someone else will have better results than me ?

But anyway i'd rather spend (far) more bucks in Bodypaint than in this program.., while the philosophy is different as this painter is build to work closely to Photoshop

Just my 2 cents !

Basically, Object Painter only gives you a 3D preview while you 2D paint. It offers nothing more than that. Definitely not worth it's selling price (Personally i think it should be $25 max). Also the demo was causing trouble within PS, so i uninstalled it.
