Anyone know of a tool that supports radial painting? This is what I'm trying to achieve. The sketch updates in realtime on the rotated version of the image, making it much easier to work out the composition.
At the moment I'm 3D painting in Blender. I could probably wing this workflow and use it only at the sketching stage before bringing it over to Photoshop. But ideally I'd like to have a proper suite of painting and 2D editing tools, and no wonkiness from z-sorting.

I made a test PSD file, you can download it here:

JR - Yeah, being able to work in Photoshop would've been my preferred option but Smart Objects aren't realtime enough unfortunately. Thanks though!
Eric - That would work. I'm using Blender's 3D paint tools but they're pretty basic, so I've got to hunt down an app that actually provides decent brushes.
equil - This might be what I'm looking for actually. A colleague showed me Illuststudio before, the paint tools handle great. Didn't know it had radial symmetry built in as well.

Closest I've found is a freeware called Urban Painter, but the drawing tools have no anti-aliasing. I've emailed the developer to see if he could add that.

Autodesks Sketchbook pro has symmetry also.
