But ..
is it me .. or ..
maxon people that didn't really do uv mapping and bodypaint very understandable ..
It doesn't seem in line with the rest ..

all in cinema seem so logic .. these 2 thing no.

and .. am I so idiot or they have plenty of little bugs that make me feel idiot?
well your opinion is welcome ..

Don't feel bad if BodyPaint's UV unwrapping workflow isn't obvious at first. I could never figure it out either. But a tutorial or two put me right. It's worth learning because it's powerful stuff

Now ..
how to:

paint on a material?
ahh ahhh wait wait .....
So I have an object
Object is UV Mapped

I have a material on that object that I like (procedural material)
I just want to paint on top of it, I want to keep the exct color which is the result of a noise+fusion.
This material has no texture to paint on. If I create a texture by double clicking in the material manager (BP 3D Paint view) I set the size .... .... I loose the color info I want to keep. I don't want that.
I want to paint on top of the fusion+noise.
If I create another layer on top of the noise/fusion layers I am still not able to paint on it.
???
how not to loose the material? and also to change the texture size of such material (now squared, while I want a flat rectangle?)

Use the layer shader to add another texture and use an alpha for the texture so only the parts you painted are overlayed.
