Edit: Here's a bug. The Draw With Pen tool is not drawing smoothly, it skips along instead of making one smooth line. Also causes tears in the geometry in some cases. See video:

Happens when using a small brush for me.
the smoothing seems to be too strong with the Carve tool, there should be a way to control how strong or weak(maybe with the smoothing slider?)
You can, Son k.If u turn smooth slider all the way up it acts like flatten brush.
There is a pdf manual in the program if u download the demo its in the install file u can print from it there.
I have used bodypaint and in my opinion 3d coat is more intuitive. U can have coat automap uvs for u.Give it a try you'll like it
