Sketch in 3d

Jakten_hizeme

I usually have problems UVing, dealing with seams and knowing where things should be located when I texture (I tend to have to switch between programs alot to keep the eyes from looking wonky usually), so I was wondering if there was a way I could deal with it easier. Does anyone know if there is a way to maybe do a quick sketch on your model so that when you UV or go to texture it you know where everything is at. I use maya but if there is an external program I don't mind using it.

Zbrush, Mudbox, and Blender all have painting tools in them. I'm not sure about Maya though... I think it had a painting tool too?

Does it show up on the UVs or save as a file or anything in those programs? Like can I open it up in photoshop and just paint over top of it, re-apply it and everything will be in the right spots?

Yeah, just have to save it I'm not 100% sure how to do it in any of them because I don't ever have to. I think in Zbrush you just click the make texture button or to texture, something to that nature...
