I know how to flatten and all that. When I use Maya, you can create a .psd file from Maya with the UV outline or "snapshot" as a layer. This way you can just start making your skin. After I make a change in the .psd, I just save it and then click "update psd" in maya. The change I made then appears on my model without having to flatten and save. Once I have my skin the way I want it, I flatten the psd and do a save as. I don't have to flatten and save every time I make a change.

It's a great time saver when trying to match up camo lines on my tanks. I can see the changes on the fly without having to reassign a texture everytime.

It's a great design feature and a HUGE timesaver to be able to do this.

Guess AC3D can't.
