        Have a look at Fredo's Thrupaint.

          Thanks Box, I will do that. I ran the model through a Ray trace engine as opposed to the prior real time renderer. I was pleasently suprised at the outcome. With a bit of tweeking it will look cool if I have some luck with True paint. I bow to plugin developers πŸ˜‰

                It is actually found in a suite of Fredo's plugins called, 'FredoTools'. https://sketchucation.com/plugin/907-fredotools

                  Thanks GD3 and box. Can you or anyone please suggest another plugin other than Fredo? I am sure its good but I downloaded 4 plugins today without any brainwork or problems. I would just like a plugin that is simple and easy to instal.

                    I honestly can't recommend any other plugin besides ThruPaint for this job, it is indispensable....I use it daily. Although, I remember ThomThom had a UV plugin that could get you there, but it wasn't as intuitive and always seemed a bit difficult to use for me. Also, Whaat has a UV plugin that can apply some different projection UV mapping that could possibly work here. I still prefer ThruPaint, it gives you much more power and control over your final product. But no matter how tired you are, you are still going to have to install a plugin and learn it to get this task finished.....so might as well use the best one. (ThruPaint) πŸ˜„

                      Thanks GD3, after contacting support @ Raylectron (Render engine) I was told to right click on the texture box and click on "recreate UV map" worked perfectly πŸ‘

                        I was just experimenting and kind of liked the render.
