How do you get from bodypaint to photoshop and still keep your polygons in the texture so you know where you are once you get into photoshop ?

like, some people do there texturing etc.. in photoshop ... but how do you know where to put stuff ??


I know photoshop like the back of my hand, but once I export a texture into there I dont know where Im at..

Sorry for all my dumb questions....

I will eventually be posting artwork.. I promise

Hi if you have uvmaper this will save out a uvmap in texture format.

Make a new layer and fill it with white. Then set your active color to black and your paintbrush to width = 1. Select all the UV polygons and then: Painter-->Functions-->Outline Polygons. Done.

You can also add another layer and use fill polygons and then use outline polygons on a layer on top,saves you having to create another alpha in PS when you export :)

I think everyone who's ever used BP has done that head smack. ;)

IMO it should be simpler still--like a one click operation.
