Hello,
How can I paint textures without rotating the camera. for example I have a cube which I want to paint it from the corner.
/uploads/default/original/4X/8/8/0/8800ea9132355320251eaf55d41b141588b2ff4d.JPGstc=1
but when I paint it got stretched from the other side. So i have to rotate the camera paint it from the other side.

I can paint a simple cube while rotating the camera. but not a complex object which has small extruded faces. Is there any way to paint the texture without stretching. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Best Regards,
Srinath

apply the texture as a regular texture mapped to ‘cube’ in blender materials, adjust the texture space if necessary, then bake the texture to the UV image. It will have seams, but otherwise, I am not sure, you should be able to patch up the seams with the cloning brush.

Thanks. Box mapping worked.

Project painting using 2 uv sets!
