  1. This might be what you're needing to know?? You can hit the numpad keys to switch between side, top, etc views.. You can hold Shift when rotating the view to "snap" to certain axiis. If you are in perspective mode you may notice that your model doesn't appear centered.. so you may want to switch to orthographic view, that can be toggled by hitting 5 on the numpad. You can also click up on 'Camera' in the upper right corner of the viewport to access those views, and also the little icons to the lefft of Camera.

    OH also, hit F to place the camera pivot point on your model... wherever your cursor is, the pivot will be placed there when you hit F. This will help you rotate around parts of your model, basically it is needed when working with models that stray from the origin point.

    I think the controls you're thinking of is of a newer version of 3D paint, atm I'm using 2.09 the F key centers the paint pallet window? I donno, the shift doesn't enable snapping for some reason.

    what I'm trying to do is, when you view your model, example a human figure, you can't ever view him laying on his back, only from the top and bottom view. to view the side he'll just stand right back up, but I can't "rotate him" so I can paint him diagonally.

    I basically gave up because I can't draw a good line horizontally with a draw tablet so I'm stuck with using a mouse.

  2. Hi there! new user here... anyways.

    I'm having an issue with camera limitations, I'm able to rotate camera around the model, rotating up and down, left and right, but there's one something that I can't use that drives me nuts, I want to be able to rotate my model side ways if you know what I mean... (view attachment for details) I know its blender, but it has a whole lot more level of camera freedom than 3D coat does. I need 3D coat for texturing models, since Blender's texturing system is far obsolete!

    thanks, I hope for a solution!
