that one is free if you don't make a comercial use of your project. IE: open source, mods...

Recently released this type of license.

And, if you want a totally free one, Grafitti (just scroll down or hit ctrl f and write "graffiti", on that page) But no where near as good as the other. :

i tried that tattoo and it works quite good for simple stuff
doesn't have nearly all that deep paint has but it also doesn't have a three digit price tag

I was just about to ask this question today, you read minds

I've never used these painter programs before, are they worth learning? I've always struggled with UVW coords for organic models.

ive been using tattoo for a days or so now and its really a cool idea
if i set up the UV's right its just like painting a statue sorta.
cool idea, great tool

unfortuantely im STILL a lousy artist heh.....

I purchased deep3d 2.0 long ago.

yep, no way to get near that.

yet very good tool.Just remember: NOT free for comercial. But can use on free projects.

yep, that uv well setting up is CRUCIAL for any texturing.Though, a bad uv mapping can be solved in 3d painting, if not terrible. In 2d painting, u need the mapping to kick ass an dbe very clear. is a fact.

You don't do ONLY 3d painting. Can be done, but is not clever. usually is good 3d painting for a mark up, and end the stuff in careful 2d painting. So is why keeps being so important to do very good, straight and clear UVs.

I researched a lot as an artist prevous to the big purchase. For those times I was only a texturer, so I concentrated my bucks in my main ability.
