viewport diffuse, specular and normalmap painting?
Hey I came up with the idea how cool it would be to paint your specular maps directly in the viewport with realtime lightin in max using a special shader. From this starting point I thought, why not painting bumpmaps and normalmaps too in relatime on the mesh? While this is just an idea, I am curious if this could be made… -

You can use a 3d paint tool such as deeppaint or body paint which allows painting channesl in real time shaded mode. Also zbrush I think?

Re: viewport diffuse, specular and normalmap painting?
why would you want to do that in max? that package is cluttered enough. 3d painters are your friends and actually work.
