I'm getting this wierd thing with the 3D Paint tool - it won't switch objects. I paint on something, then select anther object and texture, but I can't paint on the new object in the 3D view - only the previously selected one, or on the texture window.

Anyone else get this? Or am I Doing It Wrong(tm)

Okay, you might say doh, of course i have, but:

have you made sure to create a bitmap in the second texture for the channel(s) you want to paint on?

is the second texture applied to the second object?

Err... hang on <click click click>

DOH!! Texture was created and applied to the object, I just needed to click the material in the Layer Manager so the pencil appeared.

I need to go back to the manual, I really haven't grasped BodyPaint at all yet.

Doh indeed...
