Well here's a preview of something I was working on before the retro comp, it's what I've been using to do most of the texturing for my game.
It's the first thing I wrote in darkbasic classic, and though it's not finished yet, it will be soon.
It's like deep paint 3d, though simpler to use and much more db specific (well, it was written in dbc after all..)
So anyhow here's a screenshot, showing the basic layout in my alpha version, which will change for release into something a bit more user friendly:

So if you need something like this, within a 'couple of weeks after the compo I'll make it available for download (Free).
Obviously I just scrawled that stuff onto that model, the true power of this program lies in your imagination etc...

Well there's a teeny bit of interest, so here's the features so far:

6 layers (a'la photoshop)

brushes:
box
line
circle
texture
blur
spatter/airbrush
burn through layer
erase

The texture brush is selected by clicking on a texture, and then with your mouse or graphics tablet you can draw with the texture.
Oh yeah, the program uses any .bmp image you place in the textures directory, and displays them in the texture bank at the bottom of the screen as you can see, I didn't have many when that screenshot was taken!!

Like all of the brushes, the size is scalable in realtime, something which is missing from all the graphics packages I own, for instance, that red "worm" in the screenshot above was done in one stroke, one hand holds the pen/mouse, while the other controls the scaling from the keyboard.
It's quite intuitive and fun.

You can also have your model rotate in real time while you draw on it.
You can have your model animate within the program, but you'd have to wait until I get dbpro before that'll work with mesh animation, it's primarily a paint package anyway, anim8 is just there to see if your texture looks right on the model in different positions.

You can zoom or pan the 3d view with a click 'n drag in a way users of 3d studio max will be familiar with.

At the moment, you are limited to 256x256 textures but that will change once I get into full time development on this.

So you can only work on 6 layers Max ?? Hmmm, I'm used to working with a least 30. You should look into adding more layer capability

I have BodyPain 3D ( complicated piece of kit ) But I'm sure peeps will find this very usefull

Very easy to add more, it's just a single number change in an array dimension! that features list is just what's in there now It'll change a lot before release.
I really din't expect db to be so powerful when I wrote the thing, so I kept it minimal. Since I started on my retro entry however, my opinion's changed on that. I don't see why you couldn't keep adding layers until the thing just ground to a halt if you really wanted to, but in practice I'm trying to keep everything real time and two-handed, so like, you'll probably create seamless textures in another proggie, detailed work etc. then just put those files in the textures directory and draw them onto the model, blurring and smoothing between them, darkening here and there, and especially burning through layers, which is quite cool for this kind of thing..

I've wondered if something like that wasn't possible with DB... Glad to see someone actually did it!

Looking forward to taking it for a spin.

Well im definitely looking forward to this. I just started experimenting with anim8or and so now i have a mass of untextured models. At the the moment i just use color object limb commands to decorate them but since i tend to make my object 1 big limb it doesnt look very 'professional'.

Know how to access the pressure data from graphics tablets raven?

well for some reason i still can't see that... and yeah i do, you'll need a DLL to access the data cause not all tablets are HID-Compliant

i'd have to look more closely into the actual structure of them, but no doubt it'd be a serial binary string you'd grab using asm,
import that data into a declared function,
and then export the nessary goods into a DBpro pointer

Don't judge me by that scrawling, my wrist was in a plaster cast!!
Just shows the very basic layout

As I write this, a preliminary alpha version of 3D.Texturizer is uploading to my webspace.
I still can't be bothered making a website, but I'll post links to the files in the program announcements section once I confirm the dl's.
[edit]
confirmed, go get it if you want
