Unrivaled 3D Painting
MAXON BodyPaint 3D will revolutionize the way you texture your 3D models. Regardless of how you have textured in the past, 3D texturing is now easier than ever. BodyPaint 3D makes painting by vectors as easy as painting by numbers.
Forget flat compromises and paint in three dimensions.
The Maya Connection
One of the many features in BodyPaint 3D is the direct link to Maya for Windows and Macintosh. Maya users
benefit from BodyPaint 3D’s unparalleled features such as the RayBrush mode, which enables users to
paint in the rendered image and see the final result in real-time. Or the MultiBrush, which can
paint in up to ten texture channels simultaneously - with a single stroke. A brush can be used to define an entire material rather than a single color.
BodyPaint 3D's Projection Painting tool makes distortion-free painting a snap. This quick and easy tool lets you paint across UV seams or even multiple objects in a scene.
Using the link is easy: Create your model in Maya, set up the UVs and apply a basic material. All texture creation is now up to BodyPaint 3D. Select the "Send to..." command and your model will be transferred to BodyPaint 3D. The Setup Wizard makes it easy to create all the different textures for the individual channels even for multiple objects or complete hierarchies. Three mouse clicks and you are all set to start painting.
The complete layering system, tons of painting tools and filters and a full-feature render engine that lets you see all your efforts in real-time makes texturing with BodyPaint 3D a pleasure.
