@primorge Interesting that you're recommending Substance as an apparently avid Mudbox user. I might still get the free trial versions for both, seeing as I'm a cheapskate and would rather get the cheaper software if it seems sufficient for my purposes. With the dreaded subscription model, it's not really a sunk cost issue anymore. If it turns out the more expensive software is necessary, one can switch.

Also if Blender gets proper layer support at some point, I might drop whatever texture painting tool I'm using like a hot potato. :smile:
