Right Hemisphere Deep Paint 3D 2.0

Totally! Totally unbelievable. If you are a 3D artist and need to quickly create textures for you models than you have to have Deep Paint 3D. I was speechless from the first time I opened Deep Paint 3D. I could never have imagined how easy it could be to texture a model by simply painting on it.

What's so great about Deep Paint 3D. Well, the first thing is, you open one of many 3D file types which I'll list below, choose a brush and start painting. That's it. Oh, you can do much more than that of course but within seconds of installing Deep Paint 3D you can have a model completely textured and ready to go.

Deep Paint 3D is even more powerful when using a tablet.

Supported 3D file types that can be opened and saved in Deep Paint 3D are:

3DS, OBJ, PRJ, 4DP, LWO, DP3

Supported 2D file types that can be opened and saved in Deep Paint 3D are:

AFX, ASCII, ATT, AVI, BMP, BRK, CALS, CCITT, Group CCITT Group III, CCITT Group IV, CLP, CUT, DCX, DDB, DIB, EPS, EXIF, GX2, ICO, IFF/IL, BM, IGF, IMARA, IMG-GEM, IMGXerox, IMT, IOCA, JFIF, JPEG, KFX, Lossless JPEG, LV, MAC, MO:DCA, MSP, NCR, OS/2 BMP, PBM, PCD, PCX, PGM, PICT, PNG, PPM, Progressive JPEG, PSD, SGI, SUN, TGA, TIFF, Winfax, WMF, WPG, XBM, XPM, XWD

You can use Deep Paint 3D as a stand alone product or as a plug-in to applications such as Photoshop, 3D Studio Max, Maya, SoftImage 3.x and Lightwave 3D.

Below is a screen shot of the Deep Paint 3D interface.

When you open a 3D file in Deep Paint 3D the first thing you see is the Material Import dialog as shown below.

You then get to decide on the material size you want to create.

You need to specify what layer you want to paint on.

Choose a brush and you're on your way.

Deep Paint 3D has a rotate tool so you can rotate your model as you paint on it.

The command panel allows you to do many things and one really cool thing is adding lighting to your materials.

Below is the layers panel.

Below is the Brush panel.

Below shows all the tools available and with them come a ton of brush choices. However, you are not limited to the extensive library included with Deep Paint 3D. You can create your own extremely quickly and easily.

With Deep Paint 3D you can paint in 2D, 2 1/2D and 3D. This is a most powerful tool!

Use traditional painting techniques to create unique 2D and 3D images and textures.

When it comes to painting you can adjust your material in many ways.

Everything in Deep Paint 3D is user friendly, extremely easy to learn and a lot of fun! There is practically no learning curve if you've used image editing software before. The manual is very concise and has tutorials to really get you into painting fast.
