hello again.
so i downloaded the evaluation version of CS4 Extended,
built a simple rectangle in maya, (10x10 divisions),
mapped it, edited the UV's so the left half was mirrored over the right half (to give it built in symmetry).
exported the mesh as an obj, loaded it into photoshop and then started painting on it.
wowzers, It's far too unresponsive and slow to use properly.
and if this is just drawing onto a poly plane of 200 tris, goodness knows what it would be like trying to draw on a full mesh.
if you could do this symmetry in a normal 2D environment it would be much more useful.
you wouldn't have to set up an actual mesh, sort mapping out or anything else convoluted for such a seemingly simple solution.
