BodyPaint 3D is a powerful desktop publishing software application that allows users to create high quality images from their own photos using their own camera. The software is available for Windows, Mac and Linux. The main benefits of BodyPaint 3D over its competitors are that it is easier to learn and easier to use than its competitors and is also cross-platform compatible.
In BodyPaint 3D, the user creates a virtual stencil that is then used to define the texture of a particular model using a series of images that are stored as UVs ( Uniform Vibration Units). The user also has the option to apply one or more advanced effects to the textures which can be done in real-time or downloaded later. BodyPaint 3D gives you the ultimate control over the quality of your textures, with full uvs, filters and channel support - perfect for working in 3D, where every detail has to be rendered in great detail. With BodyPaint 3D, you can now paint on up to 10 channels using only a single brush, so each channel can define a light or dark area of a real-time image. When painting with BodyPaint, it is important to create thin, even strokes that help add definition and realism to your textures, and the program includes a number of useful tools to achieve this.
When downloading BodyPaint 3D, be sure to check if the software comes with a Body Trace tool, which helps to recover blended textures. To add these textures to your body, first select them from the "TEXTURE MTBS" drop down menu next to the "SAMPLE TRACE UTILITY & EXPERIMENTAL OPTIONS" section. After adding the textures, you have the option to save your work or continue editing. It is possible to undo any changes made, but be sure to check your back buffer to see the effect.
