Some tips to paint 3D models
If the model area is hidden, you can temporarily cut away surface areas that are blocking your view. See
If you are painting on curved or irregular surfaces, you can get visual feedback before you paint of which areas can best receive paint. See
. You can also set the paint fall-off angle, which controls the amount of paint applied to angled surfaces. See
While painting texture seams, a single brush stamp applies only to one side of the seam. Move the center of the brush across the seam to
paint its other side.
If you try to paint on a texture map type that the material doesn’t contain, Photoshop prompts you to create a map. For information on map
types, see 3D Materials settings (Photoshop Extended).
