I was prompted to take a quick look at Texture Paint Helper 1.3<\/a> aka texturepainterhelper. Long marked as “Unavailable” at Renderosity. No videos though there is a helpful short user-guide, and the software itself has a step-by-step workflow built in.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

If you want to see if you have it archived somewhere, the DAZ Studio installer was DS3_TexturePaintHelperLoader_1.0.0.0_Win64.exe<\/em> (possibly DAZ 3 only) and it was ps_ap204b_TexPaintHelper.exe<\/em> for Poser. Windows only. I find I have a copy of the latter installer. Re-installs and runs fine for me. Works with any Poser figure, is not restricted to a base V4 or just DAZ figures.<\/p>\n

It doesn’t appear to be a re-texturer \/ re-painter as such, but an overlay-builder (think ‘tattoos’, ‘body-paint’) which lets you use regular Photoshop to do the painting of the overlay. There may be better tools now. I guess 3D Coat, and I recall many used Blacksmith3D at one time, and a simple node setup in the Material Room<\/a> can also work with any Poser version, and don’t overlook that Poser 11 had new Material Room features in that regard<\/a>. But it’s nice to know that ye olde<\/em> standalone desktop software dedicated to working with a Poser runtime can still run. It only requires the ..\/content<\/em> folder and not access to Poser, so does not require a specific Poser version due to scripting etc. It knows about Poser runtime structures and presents these quickly and well. <\/p>\n

Pitterbill in Texture Paint Helper, 2022. A fine use of structured workflow with incorporated buttons for the user.<\/em><\/p>\n

No drag-and-drop from its loader library, over to the Poser stage. Lack of drag-drop or any keyword-search means it can’t be re-purposed for use as an alternative Library. Still, if someone can access the source code today, there seems no reason those features could not be added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
