Makes painting your 3D models as easy as painting by numbers

BodyPaint 3D Release 3 will revolutionize the way you texture your 3D models. Regardless of how you've textured before, 3D texturing has never been easier. BodyPaint 3D makes painting by vectors as easy as painting by numbers.

Textures can make or break your 3D image and experienced artists know the issues involved with creating 3D textures in a 2D application.

Forget flat compromises and paint in three dimensions. BodyPaint 3D offers the ultimate control over your textures with complete layers, filters and tablet support - all optimized for working in 3D. With BodyPaint 3D you can paint on up to ten channels with a single stroke, so a brush can define an entire material rather than a single color. Plus, BodyPaint 3D's exclusive RayBrush™ technology lets you view the results of your painting realtime in a rendered image.

BodyPaint 3D's Projection Painting tool makes distortion-free painting a snap. This quick and easy tool lets you paint across UV seams or even multiple objects in a scene.

Even the most complex UV coordinates can be tamed with the help of a complete suite of UV editing tools. There are three automatic UV unwrapping algorithms, including the new Optimal Cubic Mapping system.

New Features in R3:

Painting with maximum Color Depth (32 Bit - Floating Point)
With BodyPaint 3D R3 you can work with more depth than ever before. Now you can paint upto to 32 bit colour depth which gives even more texture control and amazingly smooth colour gradiations. BodyPaint also enables editing of HDR and EXR formats enabling you to use these powerful formats in your 3D scenes.

LSCM Unwrapping and new Selection Tools
Complex objects; especially detailed organic mesh can be a nightmare to unwrap when it comes to UV's. But BodyPaint's new LSCM Unwrapping and new selection tools make even the most complicated objects a doddle to UV unwrap.

A new path tool lets you define the seams you want. Once you've picked your seams then simply activate the LSCM tool and watch BodyPaint unwrap that UV nightmare into a nice flat surface for you to work with.

Freeze 3D View
Projection painting / mapping used to be limited to screen size. But no more! Now you can freeze the view to any size you wish. Now you can use huge images to add ultra fine detail to your textures.

New Interface
The new interface is much less distracting when working on textures. You'll note that your model now has more contrast than before. New icons are easier to identify.

And much more...
With just a flick of a switch, BodyPaint users can now access all the tools of CINEMA 4D R10 which gives a full suit of modelling, animation and rendering tools.
