Painting Directly on the 3D Object

If you are drawing freehand strokes, lines, rectangles, or ellipses, you can paint directly on the 3D object in 3ds max.

To paint directly on the 3D object:

1. Create a combustion map. See Creating New Maps.
2. In combustion, select one of the following drawing tools:
• Freehand
• Straight Line
• Rectangle
• Ellipse
3. In the 3ds max Material Editor, enable Paint in the Live Edit group of the combustion Parameters rollout.



In the 3ds max viewport, a pen cursor appears. Drag the cursor over the object to paint on it.



When you release the cursor, the Paint object also appears in combustion.
