How do I paint a texture? Using a downloaded jpg image?

Is it possible to paint in 3d space without any base surface? Kinda like in VR paint? Can Maya do this? Or any other software?

[tomasla]

would be nice to have symmetry and layers in this tool....

What if i want to combine two objects with a texture

[muzammalahmed]

Hi,
Why we cannot use ai standard surface shader in substance painter for texturing? If not then it's possible to texture in Maya shader and then change into ai shaders?

[zenpwang]

Is it possible to paint on the shadefx material?

[jamesqurazzi]

But the tool is UV based...on organic model it's impossible to paint unless you have UVs ready...Thank you anyway!
