      UU3D is $60 for the pro version and it imports and exports to skp. You can save UV maps to image, paint in PS and import back in to UU3D then expot to .skp. Steep learning curve though.

      Have you ever used UV Layout?

        It's well worth the rpice πŸ˜„
        The options at http://ptex.us/ , like C4D, Houdini, Mudbox etc won't be any cheaper for sure πŸ˜‰
        Maybe MARI ?

          lol, Mari at $2000.00, cool app but not needed in my workflow.

          Rich, what do you mean by UV layout? I use Deep UV/paint every so often.

          If you see a toilet in your dreams do not use it.

                Guess I should have checked the price before mentioning it πŸ˜‰
                Re 3D-coat - the price has increased a lot since I bought it a few years ago for $80, but so has the power of it. I think it's time for an upgrade soon πŸ˜„
                I have never used it much because I've made mostly archviz, but it talks nicely with LW - and AFAIK it loads/saves Collada too. And there is a 30-day fully functional trial..

                    Blender? 😲

                    Did you know that it's easier to get a commercial pilot license than learn Blender?

                      Then go with 3D-coat πŸ˜„ or there is Ptex plugins for major modellers (max, C4D, ...). You have Max?

                          I know there are numerous 3rd party apps that can achieve the UV solutions SU lacks, however I really like the Ptex system.

                          I guess I'm hoping for a SU solution still, without needing to add more apps to my workflow, export, import, just a simple, easy solution.
