    i was wondering if there are any good tutorials on bodypaint because i have a lot of questions?
    I am not going to list them all but just the most important ones.

    1) So i noticed that you can do uv maps for bump and displacement channels. Now As i understand it those channels work under a luminance values correct? does this mean i could take my uv map into photoshop and actually do some of the fine tunning of the model (ie metal plates on the side of a ship?

    i am wondering because if you can create and control displacement channels instead of modeling each plate of metal on a space ship hull can you just apply your metal color and basic texture on a layer then a displacment?

    I kinda have a feeling i am asking for to much out of body paint

    does anyone know of any books that specifically goes into bodypaint?

    you are not asking much of bodypaint with those requests.
    3D kiwi at c4dcafe.com has made a dvd only talking about this subject. i bought it and it well worth the money and time…. its long.
    There is a also a good tutorial at the c4dportal my SlotchCorp about modeling, rigging and texturing a gold fish. It goes in a little into bodypaint. Might be enough to get you going.
