3D Projection Painting

With support for UDIM workflows, artists can work with hundreds of high-resolution texture maps. Its projection-based painting system allows artists to make edits to paint before committing it, preview it in context and make 2D adjustments—freeing artists from the limits of resolution and complexity.
