Hello Folks,
I have been working in 2 & 3D design for a number of years and was using Corel as my 2D editor, but am now using Blender and Gimp as 3D & 2D editors. Blender has excellent material editing but more limited 3d painting (at least with my current level of skills).

I have recently been hearing that many of the latest 2D programs have been able to include the abilities of Z-Paint to visualize and apply the program's tools on either the wrapped or unwrapped 3d form while not getting into altering the 3D shape itself.

I found this Forum looking to learn where Gimp was in this quest, and how and where to accomplish these goals.
Thankyou

Welcome to the forum Dragon. :wvy

Although I've been using Blender for some time now, I still struggle with basic modelling so I'm not up to painting my models yet. Hopefully somebody else here can help you. Keep tuning in.

Welcome to Gimp Chat Dragon. If you take the time to look at all the stuff on this site and learn a few Gimp basics, I think you'll find it quite usefull.
