- ==========
- 6.0 KNOWN PROBLEMS
-
- 6.1 Painting on very long or very large triangles will look more blurry than
- on smaller or equilateral triangles. This because of the limitations of
- the current PerFace mapping technique being used in Nendo 3D Paint.
-
- 6.2 UV coordinates are now imported and preserved. However, the resulting
- object when painted in 3D Paint will not always generate predictable
- results if the texture is mapped onto the geometry more than once.
