is there a good program that allows you to import a 3d model, draw on it in a paint like fashion, then export a texture for it?

Blender has something like that.
I played around with it but I'm a bit of a novice.

There is an eight letter word. You can insert a letter into it or remove a letter from it without changing its meaning. Answer

LithUnwrap is good, but not supported anymore. You would have to search around for a while to find an old download. It isn't exactly paint like, but you are able to UV map an image to a 3d Model (kinda tricky though).

isnt UV mapping positioning an image onto an object?

if so then thats not what i want, I want to be able to do the opposite, draw on the OBJECT then have it make a texture from what I drew

Hmmmmm....It could be done in darkbasic. You could have a 3d model UV mapped with a blank (white) texture, but done in a special way (so it each part would have a unique location on it with no wasted space) and then Cast a ray and see which faces it collides with. Whichever one it does, it will alter the color at the correct position of the UV image with it. Would take some advanced stuff, probably sparky's collision dll, but it COULD probably be done in darkbasic alone.

@That1Smart Guy
Have you tried Metasequoia? That has just the feature you're asking for, you can paint straight onto the model with any brush texture. The feature is a little buried (can't remember where off the top of my head) but it is there, even in the slightly limited free edition. Might be worth a look...

@BN2
Wouldn't it just be simpler to take a UV mapped model, move a paint brush over the texture, grab a new image of texture + paint brush and apply this new image to the model to show you what you would get? Then you could click the mouse to commit the change, and the new image replace the original texture.

The way you're suggesting is great, but it fails to take into account that different faces may share UV coordinates (e.g. part of the model could be a mirror image of the rest) and the user might not realise that they were modifying more than one face.

wrong forum, but ummm... tattoo 3d. I think it's free, used to be 30 bucks. Maybe it's just "Tattoo" instead of "Tattoo 3D"... something by that name.

ZBrush as well, but that's 700 dollars, and I'm not too sure if it does that. (haven't had 700 extra for awhile). And blender's texture paint does do stuff like that, or vertex paint/vertex weight or combo of both. It's in the manual, but I have yet to use that.
