I don't think that there are freeware applications that can that right now.
On the commercial side there's Bodypaint, Deep Paint and Zbrush (between
$400-600). Note that a key issue remains proper uv unwrapping. 3d real-time
painting can be fun but still need good uvs to work properly, otherwise
there will be distortion artifacts and other problems.

Wasn't there also a program called 3d-painter or painter 3d?

Yes, Painter 3D was published by Metacreations circa 1998 but unlike Painter
and Poser it wasn't picked up by another company when Metacreations went
belly up :( I guess that it was much too advanced for the hobbyist market at
the time.

Tattoo is the only one I've found, but it is seems to be somewhat incomplete and is
not working well
for me. I've had no luck finding any other freeware apps of this type.

Unfortunately, that describes me in this case.

I'm not sure how much Corel7 costs if you still can buy it, it should be
very cheap by now. I remember it came with CorelDream, a 3d app that alowed
you to airbrush on the surfaces, I think the free download of Caligari
Truespace 3 also alowed this as well you can get it here
http://forms.caligari.com/forms/ts3all_free.html
Unfortunately but I don't know if any of these export the textures at all.

Hello, I'm new here. Funny tho I was looking for the same kind of software
and bumped into this thread. So far I only found Tattoo, and it's windows
only.
Another solution is to use Blender. Yes, that's right, Blender. Blender's
real time texturing may not be quite "direct" as tattoo, meaning you paint
directly into the mesh with brushes but it's real time anyway.
You need two separate wndow, one is UV/Image editing window for painting the
texture and the 3D window to display the current changes in real time. It's
the closest thing I can find and it's good enough for me so far.
Hope that helps.

Woops it's me again. I found a video tutorial. Texture painting directly
into the mesh can actually done in blender also.

Wings is far simpler than other softwares out there. Blender itself aren't
that confusng. The workflow seem to be irregular, but once you grab it
you'll work faster even than on commercial softwares.

Oh, I know it is, it's a great tool. I think the problem with Wings uv
mapping is that there are 'so' many ways to do it, and after reading several
different tuts on how to do it, people seem to have their own preferences. I
guess the best way to learn it is to grab a sphere and try *everything*.

I can quite believe that, but I think I'll just try and master Wings
for now. :o)
Also, I think Wings will be greatly improved over the next couple of
years. (Hope so, anyway).
Thanks for that link btw, it was certainly 'enlightening'.
