Here you'll find an overview of the 3D texture tool BodyPaint 3D, which is used for texturing 3D models in films and games such as Spider-Man 3, The Incredible Hulk and The Outsider. Works with 3ds max, CINEMA 4D, LightWave, Maya, SoftImage XSI and more.

  • I have a problem PLEASE HELP, when I paint it paints the pattern I painting on every single polygon.

  • @RedofYellow It sounds like you need to generate a new UV map, the current one seems to map the whole texture to every single polyon. A quick way is to make sure the object is editable, then use BodyPaint's Setup Wizard and on Step 2, make sure Recalculate UV is seleced and to the right of the setting, choose Optimal Angle Mapping.

  • @MaxonC4D Ok I tried that and then the textures became extremely pixellated, How do I keep the quality.

  • @RedofYellow It sounds like the texture needs to be much bigger - in the Setup Wizard, on Step 3, set Maximum to a much higher value, e.g. 3000.

  • @MaxonC4D I will check it out, all though I am using C4D to model assets for games in Unity3D and Unity3D only supports x1024 textures. Will this be a problem?

  • @RedofYellow In that case it sounds like you might need to apply multiple materials and UV maps to the same object, and to create the UV maps manually using commands like Start Interactive Mapping (there should be a quick example of Interactive Mapping in the manual for UV mapping an ear).
