Hey,

Its me... AGAIN.

Sheesh.

Now I am having problems painting on seaweed to a sculpted surface. I made it paintable and played with the template settings of the brush, but when i paint it on, the seaweed "grows" from the surface, down. If you flip the model over, the seaweed is poking thru the bottom and there is barely any visible where it is supposed to be.. on the top surface.

?

any clues?

hey, svenip,

guess what,

i figured it out on my own! hehe

i thought maybe that reversing surface direction would do the trick, but i had no clue, so i did it and the seaweed is nice and right now. :)

thx
