Deeppaint and Bodypaint?

Panupat

I want to learn a 3D painting program and am currently looking into these 2, just downloaded the demo version of both, hoping to have time to play with them in a week. I'm wondering what everyone's experience with these software were like? Are they worth learning? Which one do you prefer?

I found a few sites with Academic version of deep paint for only $159 and think that's a really good deal

It depends on the user though they are both great for taking out seams and such; they are both like a 3d Photoshop.
I wouldn't know what to pick actually I only use either or for painting there might be other uses for it like layers ect. ect. Material editing though I don't get into that depth just paint out seams and use adobe.

But worth learning cause they are a life saver at times.

I gave up both and started using zbrush with zapplink.
works really well

Definitely try out the trial versions, that's what they are there for.

I personally like working in Bodypaint for most of my stuff.

AFAIK Deep Paint 3D is also not being developed further, at least that's been the company line for the last 2 or 3 years. It's too bad, they had some nice ideas at one point for reworking the whole program. Body Paint 3D however is in active development. Zbrush too.

I personally like BPs ui, nicely customizable. A bit daunting at first, but very flexible. And the brush handling is really nice, very much like Photoshop in some ways.

But I agree it's very much a personal taste issue. Whatever you feel comfortable in (remember, it takes a while), and whatever gets the job done with the least hassle.

I used to swear by Deeppaint which used to rock back in the day, but's getting close to impossible to make it run with a recent photoshop.

Now I stick to Maya : texturing>3dpainttool. It kicks.

Where else? http://www.bodypaint3d.com
It's integrated fully into Cinema 4D now, so you have to d/l the whole thing.

Well.. nice to check out cinema 4d too

Thanks for the good informations. I never know Deeppaint isn't being developed anymore I'll stick to bodypaint I think.

I use Cinema4D & Body Paint since 3 years - and it's hard for me to change to other software.
His interface is the best one - really intuitive & aesthetic.

Don't forget that Body paint 3 does 3D Painting, Texturing, UVW Editing ....and now there's new as pelt mapping and projection painting.

(I've learned a little bit 3DS MAX just 'cause everyone is using and a lot of game developers ask to know 3DS MAX or MAYA, but CINEMA 4D & BP is my love)

I love this soft and for 600 euros ( BASIC MODULE )
- You can get all what You need for modelling, uvw , texturing and animation.

deeppaint recently had an update to make it work with and cs2, so maybe they aren't abbandoning it. here's the release notes http://www.righthemisphere.com/support/help/dp3d/dp3d_release_notes.html

of course they released this just in time for cs3 to break it again.
