Any free projection painters?

Some uvs are too complex for me to paint fluently

Blender lets you to paint over your 3d model, with relatively fluidity.

I found this works pretty well actually.

Though you would have to pay in order to get the one that can be used commercially. But it's still pretty inexpensive.

Pixexix is cool, I have tested it a lot but there is some projection errors, even if you work in orthographic mode.
Example :


I have also tested zBrush, but the workflow is a bit slow and sometimes, on low poly mesh you can crash/have projection errors.




So I'm still looking for an application which allow me to do that fluently with a good price. Mudbox is cool but a bit expensive.

I'm gonna retest them then.
The blender re-projection looks very clean by the way.

Let me know how that goes. Last time I tried projection painting in sculptris it stopped working halfway through and I never was able to manage to get projection painting to work in Blender. But last I tried was in Blender 2.59.
