when i merge the layers together, i only see the 3d model with no texture. do you know why this is?

[slorpthegillman]

@WatashiaiNeji your model probably needs UVs first

Wow, so much work for so little. Could have done this in Bodypaint with a few clicks and gotten much better feedback quality while doing it.

Still love photoshop tho'...

[slorpthegillman]

Also agree, Bodypaint has its functions. One thing body paint doesnt have though is a good "warp transform" tool.

you're doing a great jop mate- don't listen to these idiots

[slorpthegillman]

Photoshop is the primary tool for every texture artist I have ever met.

[GirLInSecondLife]

What else can you use, to import into Photoshop as an obj file? I want to paint onto head and body meshes.

Strange.. CS4 will not let me adjust my Paint Falloff to settings any higher that 55. When I try, it tells me that 55 is the max and that it has substituted my setting with 55.
