exporting an object, painting it, then re-apply texture
I’ve got a plane, that has some holes in it that I made with booleans. Can I now export a flate version of this plane into photoshop, paint it, then import it as a texture. So I guess it would be similar to unwrapping a cube to make it flat, painting all the sides. Then importing the texture.
Maybe bodypaint is made to do this? But I don’t think I have it.

You don’t really need BP for such a simple job. Just render the object from the top (or face-on, however it’s oriented). Then bring the render into PS and use it as a reference (BG layer) to paint your texture. Then load your tex in Cinema and flat map it onto your object.

As Adam says, this is probably a real east paint job, especially with flat mapping, but for those instances when more complex map painting is required, and you don’t have bodypaint, check out this tutorial from 3dKiwi: https://www.c4dcafe.com/portal/article_read.asp?id=18
It utilizes a free program called UVmapper, and it works great!

Thanks, i will check out that link. My plane is not flat, it curves around a bit. So rendering the front view will not work. Hopefully this link will put me in the right direction
