BodyPaint 3D offers the control over your textures with complete layers, filters and tablet support - all optimized for working in 3D. With BodyPaint 3D you can paint on up to ten channels with a single stroke, so a brush can define an entire material rather than a single color. Plus, BodyPaint 3D’s exclusive RayBrush™ technology lets you view the results of your painting realtime in a rendered image.

BodyPaint 3D’s Projection Painting tool makes distortion-free painting a snap. This tool lets you paint across UV seams or even multiple objects in a scene.

Even the most complex UV coordinates can be tamed with the help of a complete suite of UV editing tools. BodyPaint 3D includes three automatic UV unwrapping algorithms, including the new Optimal Cubic Mapping system.
