recommendations on 3D texturing software?

Hi

I'm looking for some advice on 3D textring software. Everybody knows Deep Paint 3D and Bodypaint 3D but they are extremelly expensive.
any opinions on any of those?
or does anyone know any other not expensive 3D texturing solutions?

Downsizer

zbrush?

Blender can do 3d texture painting! Although not that advanced feature-wise, it still does the job for me and I actually use it

There's UPaint for Unreal Tournament 2k3/2k4, but I think that only loads UT2k4 models so you'd have to export to that format in order to paint.

well, zbrush is 500 USD, thats rather expensive
and Blender in fact paints with only a single brush on an unwrapped UV, thats quite basic..

I use tattoo, but usually I use it to just sketch out what I want on the model, then paint up the texture in photoshop.Occasionally I'll use it to blend seams too.

Hexagon 2 does both 3D deformation and texture painting. It's a full modelling package, and pretty easy to use overall. Not free but relativley cheap.

Videos are available on their site.

i'm curious if you could'nt just download the trial zbrush, and take a screen shot of the texture map..
