Bodypaint 3D texture problem, can anybody help me out?

......Not sure about the checkerboard shader Rob,what happens if you actually physically hand paint the checked texture in the tex window? {just fill with white and use a large square brush}

Oh hang on,no shaders applied to the mesh will not show up in the tex window.For instance if I apply say a noise shader to my mesh that noise shader wont show up in the tex window to paint over,but you can paint a noise pattern in the tex window.

Its also fun painting on the mesh itself when you have your mesh ripped and set up.

Thanks Stu!
I also tend to go back to Photoshop for painting textures and bumpmaps... I think creating fine details is much more difficult to do in BodyPaint3D... I do not say itâ€™s impossible but harder to get the same results in PS...
I recently purchased some beautiful seamless skin textures from DoschDesign that works great in BodyPaint3D; Iâ€™am trying to use them on the Kraik creature seen in this topic... They do offer more then just skin textures; Stone, wood, nature etc.)
Most of the textures come with a colormap, bumpmap, specmap in a fair amount of resolution... (checkout their website; www.doschdesign.com/ )
Talk again, Rob

Heres a UV map I ripped for a stone pillar I am painting to show those who are interested.

BP3D lets you fill the polys with color, Functions fill polys,and also outline polys for the inner mesh

Heres the map.
