I'm doing a T-45 from color 3-views that i scanned. I'm not ready to paint the bird yet. However, when its done, I will use the model to generate a template and then paint it with Gimp.

Or, I could just use the scanned images I have and create a skin from them. However the scans are not the paint scheme I want.

I particularly like the ability in AC3D to scale and center the background images. That way all my backgrounds are to scale and centered correctly.

One problem is that the program doesn't remember your backgrounds or their scale/offset when you close it and re-open it again. So, I had to go and put in a few calibration objects to help me re-align the images when I start a new session.

I will use a 256x256 texture image for skinning.
