In this Exploring Bodypaint 3D - 3D Painting, Image Editing and More movie, I show you some of the powerful features and capabilities of BodyPaint 3D. This is a 3D application that can be used on its own or in conjunction with other 3D software. The 3D painting, image editing and UV toolset can be found in all versions of Cinema 4D Prime and above. If you buy the standalone BodyPaint 3D, you get all the tools of Cinema 4D Pime and the sculpting tools found in Cinema 4D Studio.

First up, I give you a quick overview of what BodyPaint 3D is and why it's something that you should be using for more demanding material work.

I explain standard 3D painting vs projection painting and why the latter is so helpful.

I show you BodyPaint 3D's layer system, brush options, how to set up in psd format and more.

I briefly cover UV mapping, but that's a big subject which will be covered in other upcoming videos. Sculpting is not covered in this video, but we are working on a movie showing that too.
