Any specific parts of the program you have found useful, besides the obvious of painting over seams? Also, the UV Setup Wizard... this seems to make painting the texture…

Sebastian Kruger ( http://www.krugerstars.com/ ) is my favourite, he just has ridiculous amounts of style and skill with paint. I've got his "Krugerstars" book, really amazing to see them all printed at…
