Bill, >>1) Using projected coordinates seemed to be the more stable method of operation, however, many times I noticed that paint would shoot off from the intended location. I'm not referring to such things as paint appearing on the back side of an object, being painted from the front using a planar projection. I did not set up my tablet under 3DS, just used the mouse. There are a few problems with Planar mapping that will be corrected by Monday. It is likely that they are the cause. >>Does the routine respond to a pressure stylus ? You should be able to use a tablet, but the pressure settings will be ignored. >>4) The opacity percentage range seemed to be skewed. That is, very non-linear. It seemed that only a small percentage of the available range was used, which produces noticeable change. Put another way, it seems that the greatest amount of visible change required being at 25% or less. Maybe I'm wrong, I did no specific tests to confirm this, it just seemed that way at the time. When you select the New command, the base color or the map is determined. Any opacity settings will be applied to the mixture of your selected paint color, and the base color. The best way to test the opacity settings is to apply strokes of different colors on top of one another. I'll also perform some tests. Thanks for your valuable feedback! Brent
